Game pretty, I decided to leave the main quest pretty much at the start to go goof around. The new human enemies are lovely in a Prince of Persia way, I really like the grappling effect on the traversal stars, and holy crap everything is so pretty seriously

I'm pretty sure there's actually different dialogue if you wander off early enough and find a Withering Zone (or the other questline involving them) before Tighnari tells you about them.


I found one but there wasn't any special dialogue aside from the tutorial prompt. I did see some sort of plant being that Paimon was alarmed about but it sounded like I was sequence breaking a little there.

Raiden and Dendro MC are a hilarious pair, especially when you add Kazuha or Sucrose and just watch reactions happen. I guess I should actually build Lumine now, she's got assorted artifacts and a Prototype Rancour ever since that one Beidou's fight club quest.

There's even an achievement for not getting hit by it!

The Raiden fight is annoying but not too bad, I hate the Signora fight though. Curse that heat mechanic meant to punish Zhongli havers, I didn't even roll him.

Ei has put so many points into violence that she literally cannot cook. If she were to hold chicken and a mushroom the entire waveform would collapse, like Bennet picking up a 4-leaf clover.

I thought it was more that as the Shogun she wouldn't cook rather than she couldn't. She's got Sara for that, anyway.

On the topic of design space and weapons we could see more 'technically uses a weapon from 1 category but their attacks aren't typical for it' like our punchy catalyst monk, or characters like Childe, Ei, and Ito who swap weapons as part of their moveset. Although yeah Itto's club technically isn't a stretch as dramatically different as the other two, especially since there is a club in the claymore weapon pool.
So if a character is supposed to use a gun instead of introducing a whole new weapon category for 1 person, they could just have their sword in their offhand, or a stat stick on their back.

Wasted opportunity if there's no Inazuma-obsessed sword dork in Fontaine or Snezhnaya with a Jetstream Sam gun-powered scabbard.

Main problem I have with this event so far is that I don't know how any of these characters work aside from like, Fischl and XQ and Sucrose. Yelan dice? Kokomi water thing? Whatever, rack up camera charges and start killing.

I much prefer Al Haitham with a space but I guess it's just them running out of room for the name that way.

The Spanish localization names him "Alhacén", which is the historical Spanish spelling for the RL scholar he's named for.

It's better than calling Childe "Nobile" tbh

Is there a ton of required questing between the Liyue boss and not-Japan? Or can I just go there (and if so, how)?

Beat said boss last night and was excited to see the new area today but the game instead is sending me all over the place with some blond guy who is being incredibly unsubtle about the fate of the MC’s sibling. I like that the main plot is finally coming back but it almost feels like I accidentally started a long side quest chain that has nothing to do with the new region.

It's not too far, but you need to start a quest because not-Japan is surrounded by storms and you can't just Kaeya-bridge your way into it.

Of those in the know not many people are particularly weirded out about the Traveler being able to use elements (more than one, at that) without a Vision either.

It's a gacha game, you unlock characters by rolling for them on the gacha (and Klee is a limited character not in the current banner so you can't actually get her now) There are some characters you're guaranteed to get, but only a few of them.

Dottore has split himself in multiple parts. It's possible he doesn't even know what all of his fragments are doing.

Or maybe he's just giving himself plausible deniability in case things go tits up. IIRC Tartaglia is supposed to show up in Sumeru, and the good doctor might not have Snezhnaya's blessing in this.

Finished the Archon quest finally and made a dent in the new event. Looking forward to drop kicking that douche Scaramouche into a volcano or something in the future.

Also before any additional endgame content is added I want Mihoyo to fill in this bit of the map because it's been annoying me since I started playing:



what secrets are you hiding there?!

There's mention of a port in the event quests, maybe there's a Mondstadt Part 2 in the line or that's just a piece of Fontaine.

They can't even give the MC the ability to switch elements on the fly, and that is a ability they have in cutscenes.

I lucked out with DMC/Yoimiya/Raiden/Kazuha as a comfortable Sumeru exploration team. Collei might've been more helpful than DMC, but those mushrooms are annoying to get.
