The Blood of Dawnwalker, Rebel Wolves’ ambitious open-world RPG, has been making waves since its release. While praised for its innovative approach to the genre, one mechanic in particular – a time limit that advances with every quest completed – has proven divisive. Now, a popular mod is offering players a way to bypass this core element entirely.
Time Flies When You’re… Not Having Fun?
The Blood of Dawnwalker features a unique time system where completing quests advances both day and night, creating a sense of urgency and forcing players to make strategic choices about how they spend their limited time. However, this mechanic has been a point of contention for some players.
Enter the “Better Story Timer” mod, which has already garnered over 115,000 downloads since its release shortly after the game’s launch. As the mod description states, it “allows you to have as many days as you want for the story,” effectively removing the time costs associated with completing quests and spending skill points.
For those who feel that’s not enough freedom, the mod also extends its reach by eliminating the time penalties associated with learning both active and passive skills. This allows players to fully customize their characters without being constrained by the ticking clock.
The mod is actively maintained to remain compatible with the latest versions of The Blood of Dawnwalker, ensuring a smooth experience for players who choose to embrace it. While some have already completed the entire game with the mod installed, the creator recommends removing it before tackling the epilogue.
Rebel Wolves, the development studio behind The Blood of Dawnwalker and comprised of many veterans from The Witcher series and CD Projekt Red, recently announced that the game has sold over one million copies in just three days. Its Steam player numbers remain robust, indicating a strong community engagement.
In his review, Eurogamer’s Bertie commended The Blood of Dawnwalker for its boldness in tackling open-world RPG design with fresh ideas, including the time mechanic, expressing encouragement despite acknowledging areas where the game could be more cohesive.
The availability of this popular mod highlights the ongoing debate surrounding The Blood of Dawnwalker’s core mechanics, offering players a choice between experiencing the game as intended by the developers or embracing a more relaxed pace.
