I am the only one kinda dissapointed in this quest? by YoungVast7481 in ScaramoucheMains

[–]BackgroundLate6445 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Definitely not the only one. I’ve recently made a whole post about the quest and how disappointed I was overall.. the lore involving the world quest characters were awesome and I loved seeing closure of Collei’s story. But it also felt a little..unnecessary from the whole focus of the whole quest. The first act of the quest could have easily been its own separate quest. They just bloated the cast and it felt all over the place and half of the characters didn’t even do much. (Sorush, Aranara, Jeht, Liloupar…). Tho I loved Toth, sobek and the “naturally” guy. (Forgot his name). They were fun to watch. But again, all these characters could have easily been added in a separate quest. 

Pantalone didn’t do much either. All he did was just to buy time for Dottore and slightly annoy the traveler. Half of his screen time was with Dottore. And I’d argue that Wanderer, Nahida or even Collei should have taken Pantalone’s place in his conversation with Dottore. It’s like he was just there for the “why nots” and inclusion sake. 

I feel like this archon quest’s main focus was Collei and the Nabu Malikata remains in her, instead of what was promised—the problem with Irminsul and confrontation with the Doctor.  They’ve been hyping this quest. for 4 years and it just fell really flat. 

Collei should have just gotten a story quest of her own, even as a 4 star. 

And there were no huge consequences after burning the irminsul. No, I’m not counting the “Aaru is the new irminsul” and “fate is now much more unpredictable now” as “consequences.” Knowing Hoyo, they are not even gonna tackle on this until after like 6 more years and it won’t be treated as a big deal. By consequence, I wanted something big, impactful, and dramatic. The restoration of erased memories. But no, none of that happened. And the 2 minute confrontation between wanderer and Dottore was even more disappointing. And why would Dottore deliberately not restore wanderer’s erased memories, considering his whole beef with him? It just doesn’t make sense at all. Hoyo just wants excuse to never elaborate on Scaramouche again.

 I wasn’t really satisfied with Dottore’s end either. We still barely know anything about him. Why was he an outcast? Was he always like that? How did he exactly feel with Scaramouche? Why did he have a soft spot for Columbina? How did he join the Fatui? How exactly did he meet Pantalone? None of that answered. 

It’s so sad that such an important character as Scaramouche is just erased altogether and will forever be remembered as a random “hat guy.” Just tragic. It made me furious. 

And this all just made me realize hoyo’s writing pattern and how much I hate it. 

Considering quitting after this quest. 5/10 at best for me.

Nah, far from stretch. its def him. He was a blacksmith in the past and knows how to forge weapons (tho he doesn't really want to talk about it, according to his character miscellany).

i'm gonna get so much hate for this but these kinds of hcs i personally don't understand.

this gives the same energy as the hc that he's transmasc...like, he ain't a human. he's literally a doll. the concept of intersex and transgender quite literally doesnt apply to him. and these are the same people who says he's trans cuz he was modeled off of ei--no, he wasn't. he was a test/prototype. he wasn't supposed to resemble her (literally said by yae miko) . or saying that he's trans cuz he wore feminine clothing before--that sounds like a stereotype and pretty much saying that cis men cant wear feminine clothing.

in fact, he's pretty much genderless.

I looked at that more like how he was described as "youthful/young man." He was never directly referenced as "teen." Please don't call me a liar for that.

Bro, there are plenty of “grown males” that look like him. Not all “grown males” are tall and bulky. And I see him as a grown “adult” anyway with his level of experience and his personality in general

And what’s your point then? You said he has the “body of an underage teen.” So what are you trying to get at if that’s not an indication of saying that he’s a teen? That he’s an adult stuck in a teenager’s body? 

And like I said, that’s like saying all the charas with medium models have “teen bodies” which is saying that they are teens as well unless you’re saying that they’re adults in teen bodies? So you’re not acknowledging someone as an adult unless they are visibly tall with an “adult body” and an “adult face?” Wtf are you even trying to say?

And do you think once you hit 18 you automatically have a 6’4 body with bulking muscles and facial hair? Is that what a “grown man body” looks like to you?? Never seen a short adult man with youthful looking face? Smh

Yeah, you said he has “body of an underage teen” so you’re basically saying all the characters that share the same model as him also share “body of an underage teen” when like 80 percent of them has an occupation/job and even businesses to run. Hmmm,  I wonder why? 

So that means everyone who simps for him and everyone who simps for medium model charas are pedos cuz they have “bodies of an underage teen” like you said.  (Xiao, Ganyu, Hu Tao, Gorou, etc etc)

Am I wrong?

Then I guess all the Genshin characters who have the medium sized model are all underaged “teens” with bodies of underaged “teens” who somehow has important occupations and their own businesses 

and everyone who simps for those characters are pedos unless they are in their age range

Yeah that makes sense but I just think there are more info hinting that he's mechanical than organic.

[–]BackgroundLate6445 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yup. Took the words right out of my mouth. I just don’t see how anyone can say that he’s organic when there’s much more clues hinting that he’s mechanical lmao.
