Dontnod's Vampyr Lets You Decide What Kind of Bloodsucker You Want To Be

As a vampire the player will have the choice to drink innocent blood in the game, but how will that affect the story and the city?

There are no nameless civilians in the game. They all have their own stories and interests and friends and enemies. Each time to decide to kill one of them you'll have to see the consequences for the rest of the city. There will be an impact on the local scale.

When you decide to kill some gang member in the East End, it will not change the fate of the city of London, but it will change the people that knew him. Each time you kill a civilian you will see some consequences on the local scale.

And then the main storyline will regularly ask you to make a major kill choice. This will make you decide what to do with a very important NPC. They might be community pillars or people who are very famous in a specific district of the city. When you decide what to do with them, kill them, spare them or make them a vampire, it will have a huge impact.

Interview with the Vampyr: DONTNOD's Narrative Director, Stéphane Beauverger

While this sounds really interesting and could provide some difficult emotional dilemmas, will decisions be made in the main campaign too?

"The main storyline will provide you with opportunities to perform what we call a "major killing choice". It's when you have been asked to make a move against what we call a "community pillar" - someone who is very important in a specific community. You can decide to kill them, to spare them, or to make them a vampire perhaps. You always have different options. Whatever you decide to do will impact the people inside the district of the town in which this specific target was living. This is how the main storyline will impact the citizens. It does not work from down to up, but up to down."

"In a boss fight, fight against someone and finally decide to spare them or make them into a vampire. Just because you have defeated someone you do not always have to kill them. There will be different factions in the game and you will have to choose a side and this will affect how the game evolves right up to the end. There are four different endings according to what you did in the game."
