You'll be "quite easy to kill" in Blood of Dawnwalker during the day because Rebel Wolves didn't want "an overpowered protagonist"

Rebel Wolves is designing Blood of Dawnwalker around a deliberate vulnerability mechanic tied to protagonist Coen's half-vampire physiology. During daylight hours, Coen becomes significantly weaker and exposed to danger, a limitation the studio implemented to avoid creating an overpowered character. This daylight fragility extends throughout the game's challenges, including encounters with major bosses that players won't be able to overcome through raw stat advantage alone.

The design choice reflects a broader philosophy about balancing player power fantasy with meaningful difficulty. By tethering Coen's strength to the day-night cycle, Rebel Wolves creates a dynamic where progression and timing matter as much as combat skill. Players will need to account for environmental conditions and plan their approach rather than relying on character power creep to brute-force solutions.
