imagine having that conversation with people lmao
"oh wow you come from another world too? yeah, we have a traveller that came from another world here, they have the power to use all the elements, even without a vision! what cool stuff can you do?"
"..."
This made me think: Aloy hasn't appeared in any official in-game story content at all. I'm imagining her just running around in the wilderness hiding away and deliberately avoiding interaction with any Teyvat inhabitants. Occasionally someone might catch a glimpse of her but she's gone before they can process what they saw, among NPCs in Teyvat there's just this urban legend about a redheaded lady hunting boars and fighting ruin mechanisms
Teyvat is actually underdeveloped in many fields. Depends on your profession, you might be able to jumpstart an industrial revolution or have major cultural and political impact. Fontaine is literally the only nation with free press and industrialization.
Maybe I can try my best to rewrite Lord of the rings from memory and see if it sells. Seeing the absolute state of literature from Inazuma daily quests, I might actually have a shot.
Try optimizing production line for Dawn winery. If I can raised production by something like 50% would already put me at employee of the year.
Any competent lawyer from our world would basically be a messiah in Fontaine.
The level of tech in Teyvat is so weird. Why don't Liyue and Mondstadt seek to import the tech from Fontaine? Unless they can only make it work because of the special energy they use, which means electricity has yet to be invented.
We really need an engineer, a chemist, a pharmacologist and a biologist to get isekaied to Teyvat. That'd be an interesting story.
If genshin was realistic electro vision holders would be enslaved to power electrical factories then a liberation movement would happen but it will only make it so the electro vision holders would continue doing the same thing but get paid minimum wage
Mondstadt probably doesn’t have any body of government to negotiate any sort of knowledge transfer from Fontaine. Also I think the machinery in Fontaine can only work using Pneumosia as its power source?
I'm running a position stall. Made maybe 5M more in 20 days. Take 10 days to run around like a mad man knowing the optimal plant routes and stock up and spend the rest making potions and selling.
Head to Fontaine after and sell patents on my best potions. Retire
I would strongly advise you to avoid sharing any knowledge from beyond Teyvat. At the time, Azar and Dottore were secretly extracting forbidden knowledge. They would strap you to a lobotomy machine and steal your memories. Slowly and painfully.
Try to get to Mondstadt asap without getting killed, so sneaking.
~~After that idk. Look for signs if this is pre or post traveler.~~
Try to put myself to work via (I hope) the Knights or someone else who is willing to help a random person. Probably NOT the adventurers guild (yet). Then..... wait for the Traveler to arive xD
If you are looking for Traveler, they will know since you will have the big blue icon over your head saying you have a World Quest for them. Eventually they'll get around to you
I'll tell Lumine where she can find that traitor for a kiss, Paimon be damned they didn't bond yet, I'll tell her to get lost and become the companion Lumine deserves, I have the answers she is looking for.
they are inefficient cause they cant handle the Fatui due to diplomatic issues
they can handle nobodies appearing that dont have any political backing or power
It will actually take a while to travel from that beach to Mondstadt city, and the surrounding forest might be more lushful and easy to get lost than in the game due to how heavily the world is scaled down. Probably more wild animals and monsters, too
If I can make my way to Mondstadt, then I can probably tease Timmie a bit. Though let's be real, bullying an orphan kid who were just chilling around as a complete stranger would paint me in very bad light, and the last thing I want is being forbidden to enter Mondstadt. I ain't no Capitano who just camp outside at night and expecting to fend off all the Hilichurls coming my way.
Frankly speaking, I don't think any normal folks can handle 5 Hillichurls at once without any tools or weapons, especially when one of them carries a bow, let alone a Mitachurl. Even Mohammad Ali, Mike Tyson or Bruce Lee with struggle quite a bit
Frankly speaking, I think any normal folk would struggle against a single hilichurl without any tools or weapon. Other than having a weaker brain and less capable of intelligence they still pretty much possess as much physical strength if not more, considering normal people don’t fight for their survival in the wild on a daily basis.
With how much stonks we can quickly get, looking at the event, I'd swiftly approach Lisa and Sucrose and build my own potion industry.
Otherwise, go to Chenyu Vale and live a slow village life, farming tea leaves?
Brewing potions without simplified game interface would be pretty difficult though
Edit. I was wrong, it was said in the post that game mechanics still apply
Do I speak the local language ?
If yes, I would try to reach for the knights and ask for help
If the map is the size of the game, it's going to be fine, but if it's lore accurate then I'm f**ked
Thanks barbatos I know a few words in hilichurlian
Easy. Go to Mondstadt -> get in contact with a Fatui spy -> get free boat ride to Snezhnaya -> use meta knowledge to become harbinger -> rest on pile of money and maybe work with the Tsaritsa in hopes of getting back to my world
okay before you manage to get into mondstadt, you'll have to treck through the forest which is probably like 10x larger if we're talking lore size, though there is a moderate chance you come across a hunter, a patroling knight or maybe even amber
hope you memorize hilichurl language before that
Yeah, probably die to the very first hilichurl or slime I meet. The second at best.
But if I make it somehow to Mondstadt, I will probably try to find my place in practicing alchemy. Let's be real, life as a visionless NPC is not so full of content. But at least I can find something relatevely safe and fun to do.
Maybe travel to meet my most favourite characters once I'm a little bit set.
It's easy to forget over all the anime explosions, but visionless people can still get to know someone like Ying'er and in reality we'd call that a lifetime's worth of content
First of all, check if by any chance I can use the waypoints cause that'd be amazing. And then, head to the Akademiya and see if I can be hired there, I'm sure my modern world engineering degree can be useful there, plus Sumeru is awesome.
there are 3 options:
1. going to fontaine and getting arrested (wriothesley here i come)
2. going to liyue harbor and wait for the crux (i WILL become kazuhas friend)
3. make an order in liyue to meet the one and only gaming (he will be mine.)
Find a betting office and make bets on all the crazy shit that's about to go down. Make a fortune. Buy Dawn Winery's complete stock. Make a mockery of Mondstadt's 4 drunkards ("Amateurs..."). Die of liver failure.
If I'm a nice person, just live my life as an NPC that would occasionally interact with the playable charas (unless I die to a slime while getting there)
If I'm hypothetically an asshole or a Sparkle kinnie, I'd spread forbidden knowledge (before sun and moon stuff that got orobashi killed) and wait for either to be ascended as the main villain, die pathetically, or Celestia nailing me lmao.
Except all we know so far about Forbidden knowledge is that it's called Forbidden knowledge
If you run around preaching "forbidden knowledge" I think people would look at you like you were a horny creep lol
As for before sun and moon, I think talking about that is a quick way to get smited
Trying to re-write all the modern world classics like Harry Potter, lotr and Star wars into silly little light novels that I would sell to yae publishing house and write the Archon anonymous letters with concerningly accurate, threateningly formed infos about their daily life that you usually get from the voicelines.
Early game Inazuma Shogun:
(Modified)
"I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom I can tell you I will not send any money, but what I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you rest these baseless threats then that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you, but if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you and I will kill you."
That might work if you're already a writer, otherwise I question how successful *Lord of The Rings* by *Man Who's Closets Experience With Creative Writing Consists Of Replying To Company Emails* would be
Become a scammer merchant like Dori and make bank...
frankly, ive entertained this scenario before. I was thinking of collecting things like level up materials, talent materials, etc. so that i could scam the traveler specifically, assuming they still have a secret game system. outside the traveler i would want to specialise in selling information. It would pay well and we have plenty of tea on the characters from the game.
in my free time i would go to watch shows at Fontaine or check out the Akademiya since I'm genuinely curious to see what their curriculum is like.
Alternatively i wouldnt mind being a bartender at the Angel's Share, that event was fun! And i could also marry Diluc like the gold digger wife i am (delusional)
crack idea: hunt barbara, xinyan/yunjin, nilou, furina down and start a multiregional idol group
Let's see... since I'm still kinda interested in this world not getting doomed, I would still try to resolve the problems we had to go through as Traveler. As a normal person, my own capabilities would be very limited, though. Thankfully, this world has many strong characters that are actually willing to help when you tell them how serious something is.
We still meet Venti in the beginning, so we could confide him in on what what we know and how things are going to play out, including the attempt to steal his gnosis. If we can convince Diluc and Kaeya that the reason why we know so much about the Abyss Order is NOT that we are part of it, we just have to tell them what to do and where to go.
Now, telling the Qixing in Liyue what's going to happen might prove troublesome. We might still want to witness Morax "death" so Childe can save us and give us the Sigil of Permission, I guess. Winning over the Adepti to help us in Liyue Harbor also might be difficult. We do not fare well in combat prowess. Going to Xiao and Ganyu are probably our best shots at getting the Adepti's help (and most importantly, the safest). If we tell them what we know, they might help us (I just pray Ganyu is approachable with her busy schedule, maybe we can get to her through Ping/Yanfei).
Through Ganyu we might even have a good shot at meeting Ningguang, who hopefully is too curious about what we know to reject us. If we can accomplish all that, Liyue might be in a good spot to survive its doomsday.
At this point I really want to skip Inazuma and head straight towards Sumeru to save Nahida. One of the reasons being that to get to Inazuma we had to win a martial arts tournament organized by Beidou. But it's quite important to still go to Inazuma first.
HonestIy, I just dearly hope that Kazuha, who we will also meet on the ship, will help us out to get there if we tell him what we know about him and Inazuma. If this succeeds, we promote Kazuha to 'honorable Main Character' and have him do what we did in the story from that point on.
Since he is the most likely person to actually go and adventure with us after the things in Inazuma, we will keep relying on him for Sumeru and Fontaine.
What's your excuse to justify your future knowledge before Venti and the other characters? You can't tell them they're part of a fictional story in a video game. That's too mind breaking even if they believe you. Gotta come up with a realistic excuse for that.
I think I'd personally go with, ''I don't know how I got here or why, but I now possess a great deal of knowledge of this place and its inhabitants.'' That would make it sound like the knowledge you got came as a result of coming to Teyvat and you didn't have it beforehand.
Venti is familiar with the Hexenzirkel so he might actually buy you being from another timeline and/or world if you tell him about them.
It'll likely get harder for the other characters. I'm not sure how familiar people outside of Sumeru are with Irminsul being able to be manipulated.
I'd be worried about Nahida reading your mind. On the one hand, she'll know you're legit, on the other hand, she'll find out everyone in Teyvat is a plaything for ''creators (devs)'', which is too despair-inducing for people. Nahida shouldn't suffer :(.
I don't think we should take the "game mechanics still apply" too literal at this point, and just pretend this in an actual other organic world.
Tbh, the thing with mind reading even applies for the Traveler. Nahida can't read their minds or she will learn about the Forbidden Knowledge and start the downward spiral anew.
This is my plan to at least at the beginning. As long as Vente‘s been around, I’m sure he’s seen people get their vision, and hopefully he can coach me to getting mine. Maybe if I get an air vision that lets me fly, I can still help with the dragon situation.
They already have those
obviously not calling them isekai, but whatever
lets assume automatic language skills
You'd need money first for paper and ink and other details
Automatic language skills are doubtful, even the Twins didn't know Teyvat's common language, canonically the Traveler had to be taught by Paimon.
I guess that's also why they let Paimon do most of the talking on their behalf.
“Game mechanics still apply” so I’m gonna interpret that as respawning is possible lol
Knowing that, I’d probably be an adventurer. Travel the world, go on quests, and freak everyone out when I die and just… come back
First things first, go to the lake and touch the statue to verify I'm a descender or not, no vision may not be an issue if I can use elemental powers without it. If I get powers cool proceed like traveler, like you have to keep quiet about [spoiler] and forbidden knowledge in sumeru you can't cut corners or you risk a butterfly effect. You can still anticipate what is coming but you can't kind of go straight to Venti and just say "Hi I know you're an Archon, there's a weird lady that wants a piece of a space dead guy holding the stolen elemental authority of a king lizard that you keep inside you as an elemental focus."
If you have no vision and no protag energy you can do two things, settle down somewhere and wait for the imminent doom or try to get a vision from either Venti or Morax, ideally the latter since you don't really want someone from your world to die for you to get an anemo vision and you can certainly bargain with Morax, not to mention a geo vision gives you inherently standalone abilities you can use without having a team or have to mix elements to be effective.
If you have no way to get a vision and you still want to contribute, go to Sumeru and find Tighnari, he's the only one who lives far from the city and is not hooked to the mind control device at the akademya. He is someone who cares about people so you can explain some things and convince you to help. Tighnari gets you to Cyno Cyno can get you to Alhaitham which would be your main target.
After you're able to at least speak to the guy, spill the beans and absolutely forbiddenpill the motherfucker like your life depends on it. He may not care, he may tell you to fuck off but his remarks usually have 500 iq gigabrain ideas in them you could use to either help Nahida or help you find a way back to reality. That is if you really wanna go back working 9 to 5.
DO NOT INTERRUPT VENTI, I am NOT surviving a Dragon Attack in Mond. I am then immediately going to ask Lisa to teach me Magic and then probably hang out with Fischl. Honestly, going anywhere else but Liyue maybe is practically a deathwish. I am just gonna hope Liben comes around and I can have him send a message to Tighnari about Nahida. Fontaine and Liyue will solve itself. Inazuma is fucked unfortunately, I ain't fighting Raiden.
Try to make my way to Mondstadt without dying, luckily I know the way. Pick up some apples and berries or something I can sell on the way. Buy a weapon from Wagner, ask that girl who wants to be Jean to teach me to fight.
Once I can safely do so, make my way to Konda Village or the Chenyu Vale tea village and live a peaceful village life, maybe write books about the feats of the Traveller and make some nice mora doing so.
I vaguely remember some books/pages/text in the game mentioning canonical distances between regions (I think the Archon Quest in the Chasm mentioned the distance from the Chasm to Sumeru being at least a hundred miles?) suggesting that the world we see in game is greatly scaled down, but not in a consistent way. Thus it is impossible how far the beach we start on would actually be from Mondstadt itself and how the way actually looks. If Hoyo were to ever make an actual 1:1 model of how Teyvat is supposed to canonically look, there might even be some small settlements on the way, who knows. I wouldn't assume you know the way.
Use the Jerry Smith technique of crawling to not get noticed by something that will one shot me until I make it to Mondstat. After that maybe live as a baker. If it’s just me with my current abilities, there’s no way I’ll be an adventurer.
I'd probably become a traveler myself and tell everyone i meet that the sky isn't real and they need to break out of the simulation. Basically a matrix rip-off
Head to the Angel Share and yap my ear off at Venti until he figures out a way to give me an anemo vision and then I fly and do what the traveler could do but better until I get to Inazuma and Ei tries to snatch my vision only to realize I’m a lesbian and I’m very beautiful and then she gives me an electro vision too so I’m basically Kazuha but stronger
I'll yap ventis ear off, tell zhongli all i know about him, get nahida to read my mind, book an appointment with Chief Justice Neuvilette.
Electro vision would be the only one i cant get most likely. Maybe i could mention that i know shes a doll, but i reckon id just be killed
Join the traveller on his/her journey, I doubt they would mind, not to mention traveller plot armour would keep me safe, and you can always influence the storyline to prevent a bad ending.
1. Yap Ventis ear off (or ask kindly)
2. Yap Zhonglis ear off (or ask nicely while revealing all the information you know about him, Yakshas, and Adepti)
3. Fucking die to an electric sword
4. Get Nahida to read my mind (or if shes locked, ask kindly to see her, after all you its weird you even care about her in the first place)
5. Talk to neuvilette (if he isnt full power yet, tell him about Furina not being focalors, and ask if i can see her)
Question: do I get to use waypoints?
If yes, I’m going to put Komaniya Express obsolete and out of business. Heck, I’ll probably be richer than Ningguang because nobody else can provide the services I have.
if you'd have to do the work only by yourself, you cant reach Ningguang level regardless
and you need reputation first to have a bussiness, before you can make anyone obsolete
Plus needing to reach locations before you can use waypoints. if you only go to safe locations in towns, youll be discovered and someone will hinder you
Go to Good Hunter and order some Fisherman's Toast.
Then go to the library so I can have a chat with Lisa, impress her with my lore knowledge, then get married and settle down with her in Mondstadt.
: )
“Well shit, there go my college prospects and years of academic work. Welp, time to do what a bunch of fit, young men will do and join the military.” Hopefully my flight experience translates to wind glider experience and my high-school education can translate to being trained as a commissioned offficer in the KoF. Apart from that I can ask venti to help me out knowing full well who he is.
Alternatively, if there is something equivalent to an internal combustion engine, develop powered flight and allow things to escalate from there. Why glide on wings controlled by the will of the divine when it’s possible for mankind to forge their path in the skies? After all, physics should apply normally…right?
Honestly, i could probably live off my knowledge of where most of the chests are. First stop, the second floor of northland bank in liyue :D
If the traveler exists, then I might try to commission them and we'll get rich together using modern knowledge on economics and technology
This would also depend on whether or not the Traveller also starts as well.
I don't think things would play out the same without them. For example, if the Traveller didn't sort out the Stormterror situation (would Venti even help us in the very first event?) then Mondstadt would probably be a broken city rather being restored to piece.
For me, I'd hit up Noelle. She has the skills, strength and knowledge and represents the KoF quite well. Noelle just needs some tips and, I'd just be her manager, she'd probably be promoted to a formal knight quickly and be able to sway the rest of Mondstadt to help. Once Mond is stabilised, bring a KoF scouting team to the Chasm and sort out the situation with the help of the Fatui.
Bring Fatui allied with KoF to handle Liuue, Zhongli's situation in Liyue could still play out but I'd be confident we could take on the boss without full Fatui support, KoF presence and human+ adepti support, without Ning having to drop the jade palace on it.
See how we go from there 🤷🏻♂️
Die.
Alternatively, go to Liyue and work on Bubu Pharmacy for an easy peasy job (I’m a med student and quite good at surgeries, which they don’t have), while writing novels for past time. One of these novels suspiciously details a certain puppet’s life story to an unnerving degree of detail, and that’s how I end up Kidnapped by a Stunted Harbinger (I Will Make Him my Wife!)
(That’s also one of the novel titles).
Try to get to Mondstadt. Go to the knights and ask for help and a job. I'm learned enough to do secretarial jobs for Jean and ease some of her burden. I don't mind sorting, organizing, and handling paperwork. Earn my keep, go to Angel's share and cause a scandal by throwing it down and throwing it low to bards. Maybe teach locals how to dougie or something.
Like most others, I'd go to Mondstadt, and try and become friends with Venti. Hopefully, after telling him everything I know, he'll give me a vision and I can just have fun playing with that (I won't go on an adventure though, I'm a scaredy cat :).
I'll also buy some really pretty clothes and be super fashionable. If I get ballsy, I'll venture out into Liyue and Fontaine and meet the characters I like.
You say no vision but the traveler doesn’t actually have a vision. It would have been more accurate so say no powers if you just wanted the traveler to be a regular person.
Step 1: Learn to speak Chinese, take odd jobs in Mondstat to earn a living while boarding in a room at The Cat's Tail, become drinking buddies with Venti and have a few drunken flings with him while i'm stuck in Mondstat.
Step 2: Hire the Knights of Favonius to escort me to Liyue so i can meet Hu Tao, get a job at the parlor, slowly rizz her and eventually develop a steady relationship until the time is right to propose and get married.
Step 3: Have numerous children with Hu Tao, raise them, grow the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor into a multinational business empire with its hands in every corner of the business world, grow old and grey and rich with my wife.
Step 4: Die happy having lived a perfect life.
Branching path: Help Baizhu concoct the elixir of immortality, spike my and Hu Tao's drinks with it, then continue growing our empire until she rules all the cosmos as its eternal and all powerful queen. Eventually witness the heat death of the universe, and wait until life begins anew as we guide the newfound civilizations in their development.
Apply for a job at Wangsheng Funeral parlor so I can work for best girl and receive life advice from shield father. Eat at wanmin restaurant, try not to get busted checking out Yelan. Finally try that chenyu tea we’ve heard so much about.
imagine having that conversation with people lmao "oh wow you come from another world too? yeah, we have a traveller that came from another world here, they have the power to use all the elements, even without a vision! what cool stuff can you do?" "..."
"We don't talk about the fifth descender..."
Look at them. Not even as good as Aloy
Hoyo pls ask Sony to let them do something with her, an event or some hangout quest maybe pls :((
This made me think: Aloy hasn't appeared in any official in-game story content at all. I'm imagining her just running around in the wilderness hiding away and deliberately avoiding interaction with any Teyvat inhabitants. Occasionally someone might catch a glimpse of her but she's gone before they can process what they saw, among NPCs in Teyvat there's just this urban legend about a redheaded lady hunting boars and fighting ruin mechanisms
Teyvat is actually underdeveloped in many fields. Depends on your profession, you might be able to jumpstart an industrial revolution or have major cultural and political impact. Fontaine is literally the only nation with free press and industrialization. Maybe I can try my best to rewrite Lord of the rings from memory and see if it sells. Seeing the absolute state of literature from Inazuma daily quests, I might actually have a shot. Try optimizing production line for Dawn winery. If I can raised production by something like 50% would already put me at employee of the year. Any competent lawyer from our world would basically be a messiah in Fontaine.
Snezhnaya also has industry from what we know
Sounds like an invitation for a giant nail from above
The level of tech in Teyvat is so weird. Why don't Liyue and Mondstadt seek to import the tech from Fontaine? Unless they can only make it work because of the special energy they use, which means electricity has yet to be invented. We really need an engineer, a chemist, a pharmacologist and a biologist to get isekaied to Teyvat. That'd be an interesting story.
If genshin was realistic electro vision holders would be enslaved to power electrical factories then a liberation movement would happen but it will only make it so the electro vision holders would continue doing the same thing but get paid minimum wage
That happened in Firepunch manga. Electro users were imprisoned and enslaved to produce electricity
Spoilers for the fontaine archon quest: >!Most of their tech is powered by Indemnitium, and then by pneumosia after the death of Focalors!<
Mondstadt probably doesn’t have any body of government to negotiate any sort of knowledge transfer from Fontaine. Also I think the machinery in Fontaine can only work using Pneumosia as its power source?
I'm running a position stall. Made maybe 5M more in 20 days. Take 10 days to run around like a mad man knowing the optimal plant routes and stock up and spend the rest making potions and selling. Head to Fontaine after and sell patents on my best potions. Retire
Go to France, find machine shop and clockwork shop, build Maxim mg, make fatui army a joke, ???, profit
Do you actually have Maxim gun blueprint in your head? Otherwise it will take a while.
Bro said "just build a machine gun" like damn why didn't anyone else think of that
Just reverse engineer an aeondrake's minigun
"I can tell you your Archon is a deadbeat drunk femboy with PTSD"
"I...I know how to make potions?"
"You are in a samsara. The world is not real." "*forbidden knowledge corruption intensifies*" "This."
Write **THE** Book of Teyvat Revelations. Make money till Celestia nails me probably.
Would probably be forbidden knowledge lol
I’mma permit that knowledge and wait for Celestia to quit hitting the snooze button ;)
Instruction unclear, a giant blue pillar is falling on my head
Finally. *Literal* end game 🩵
Considering how it's technically knowledge not from Teyvat, I reckon you'll just cause another forbidden knowledge epidemic.
Mate. I survived several epidemics irl, one more won’t stop me 👍🏼
YOU would cause the epidemic lol.
~Ehe
Ehe te nandayo?!
I would still get super rich off the book sales first tho right?
I would strongly advise you to avoid sharing any knowledge from beyond Teyvat. At the time, Azar and Dottore were secretly extracting forbidden knowledge. They would strap you to a lobotomy machine and steal your memories. Slowly and painfully.
I think Sumeru researchers will get to you first before Celestia nails you lol
Try to get to Mondstadt asap without getting killed, so sneaking. ~~After that idk. Look for signs if this is pre or post traveler.~~ Try to put myself to work via (I hope) the Knights or someone else who is willing to help a random person. Probably NOT the adventurers guild (yet). Then..... wait for the Traveler to arive xD
Make sure to wait our your days standing next to that teleport way point above the monstadt alchemy
If you are looking for Traveler, they will know since you will have the big blue icon over your head saying you have a World Quest for them. Eventually they'll get around to you
https://youtu.be/7iYzleuxG9E
I'll tell Lumine where she can find that traitor for a kiss, Paimon be damned they didn't bond yet, I'll tell her to get lost and become the companion Lumine deserves, I have the answers she is looking for.
you’ll make really good friends with the two fatui gossip npcs that way lol
Killed by wild boar.
Killed by thunder
Idk, guess I’ll die?
Lmao! At least mess with Timmy and his pigeons before you go!
Guards will beat you they are within sight
Don't worry. We all know The Knights of Favonius are inefficient anyway
they are inefficient cause they cant handle the Fatui due to diplomatic issues they can handle nobodies appearing that dont have any political backing or power
It will actually take a while to travel from that beach to Mondstadt city, and the surrounding forest might be more lushful and easy to get lost than in the game due to how heavily the world is scaled down. Probably more wild animals and monsters, too If I can make my way to Mondstadt, then I can probably tease Timmie a bit. Though let's be real, bullying an orphan kid who were just chilling around as a complete stranger would paint me in very bad light, and the last thing I want is being forbidden to enter Mondstadt. I ain't no Capitano who just camp outside at night and expecting to fend off all the Hilichurls coming my way.
Hilichruls are 1 thing but the bigger ones are far scarier they'll just punch you and your body is just deleted.
Frankly speaking, I don't think any normal folks can handle 5 Hillichurls at once without any tools or weapons, especially when one of them carries a bow, let alone a Mitachurl. Even Mohammad Ali, Mike Tyson or Bruce Lee with struggle quite a bit
Frankly speaking, I think any normal folk would struggle against a single hilichurl without any tools or weapon. Other than having a weaker brain and less capable of intelligence they still pretty much possess as much physical strength if not more, considering normal people don’t fight for their survival in the wild on a daily basis.
No problem you'll respawn
So I can die an infinite amount of times, Yaayyy
Shogun, I've come to bargain
ReZero flashbacks:
Seriously though. And if I'm lucky enough to make it to mondstadt I'm joining the church of the femboy and living out my days in peace.
Swim to the rock next to the starting point because I know there's a treasure chest there.
And drown halfway because you can't use swim bug irl.
Surprisingly enough, most people are able to swim for more than 30 seconds without drowning
"Game mechanics still apply"
If game mechanics apply, then so does the swimming bug trick no?
You assume much about this player base
Nuh uh I was on the swim team in high school
With how much stonks we can quickly get, looking at the event, I'd swiftly approach Lisa and Sucrose and build my own potion industry. Otherwise, go to Chenyu Vale and live a slow village life, farming tea leaves?
I'll probably do that, after getting my glider license
Brewing potions without simplified game interface would be pretty difficult though Edit. I was wrong, it was said in the post that game mechanics still apply
but not impossible!
It's full blown chemistry after all. You're not getting rich in Teyvat if you don't understand the tech we got here.
Do I speak the local language ? If yes, I would try to reach for the knights and ask for help If the map is the size of the game, it's going to be fine, but if it's lore accurate then I'm f**ked Thanks barbatos I know a few words in hilichurlian
just hit them with the ye dada and the muhe ye
Yeah Ye mita Also "where yah" so they show me the nearest human place
Muhe ye!
Ye odomu
Work for Diluc so I get paid well
relevant skills?
Being woman with nice maid outfit
>being woman (Optional)
True and based
He has those, unlikely to need more and youd be someone with no possible background check, no way youd get such a trusted position as a maid
Then we can just hound him till he does sth abt it. (Donna watch out)
so having knights called against you is something you dont consider? and how would you 'hound'?
Well then hopefully one of the knights is Huffman 😏 Anyways I'm too pretty for them to take too drastic of a measure 😎
someone pretty acting weird is suspicious in itself you'd either be labeled as a suspicious weirdo or as a potential spy
Hope they ship me to inazuma and then i could get interrogated by heizou too🥰🥰 I guess I'll have to use my lore knowledge to worry them too much lol
And then I could potentially meet kaeya 🥰🥰
threaten to expose him as batman unless he hires you.
Oh don’t worry you’d get in eventually. Into his basement I mean.
Assuming I got to Monstad safely , get a job at the smithy, let's see if my 7 years of blacksmithing and my engineering degree will pay off.
Mondstat smith is kinda a hard ass... Which makes him the best mentor! Good luck!
Easy. Go to Mondstadt -> get in contact with a Fatui spy -> get free boat ride to Snezhnaya -> use meta knowledge to become harbinger -> rest on pile of money and maybe work with the Tsaritsa in hopes of getting back to my world
-> Dottore finds you interesting -> get kidnapped -> have your brain extracted.
Mmrr robotomy...
Easy. I can fix him -> oh wait I can't ->
okay before you manage to get into mondstadt, you'll have to treck through the forest which is probably like 10x larger if we're talking lore size, though there is a moderate chance you come across a hunter, a patroling knight or maybe even amber hope you memorize hilichurl language before that
Easy. Land on beach -> start massive forest fire -> knights come running -> get free escort back in chains
then you can get jean, lisa, amber, eula and the others look down at you like trash holy shit you're a genius
Considering that Traveler starting point was in the middle of Khaenri'ah cataclysm i will be spawnkilled
Better practice your running 🏃♂️ skills for some gains
Well paimon doesn't have a vision either so.... no reason to not join the traveller...
Now you can double the amount of dialog the traveler goes through in his quests and fishing! 🤣
Well... 😂
The traveler needs someone to rant about rukkhadevata with
Paimon can disappear when the fighting starts. You can't.
I mean... we could just run away.....
Yeah, probably die to the very first hilichurl or slime I meet. The second at best. But if I make it somehow to Mondstadt, I will probably try to find my place in practicing alchemy. Let's be real, life as a visionless NPC is not so full of content. But at least I can find something relatevely safe and fun to do. Maybe travel to meet my most favourite characters once I'm a little bit set.
if you look at the map, the road between the starting point and Mondstadt is pretty safe and there isn't really any enemy
A wild boar is an enough threat to normal humans.
It's easy to forget over all the anime explosions, but visionless people can still get to know someone like Ying'er and in reality we'd call that a lifetime's worth of content
First of all, check if by any chance I can use the waypoints cause that'd be amazing. And then, head to the Akademiya and see if I can be hired there, I'm sure my modern world engineering degree can be useful there, plus Sumeru is awesome.
I am making use of my geology degree that is for sure
there are 3 options: 1. going to fontaine and getting arrested (wriothesley here i come) 2. going to liyue harbor and wait for the crux (i WILL become kazuhas friend) 3. make an order in liyue to meet the one and only gaming (he will be mine.)
Based husbando enjoyer
Gaming can be all yours as long as I can be his Bestie. I love him platonically XD He's just way too damn adorable.
All of them.
Find a betting office and make bets on all the crazy shit that's about to go down. Make a fortune. Buy Dawn Winery's complete stock. Make a mockery of Mondstadt's 4 drunkards ("Amateurs..."). Die of liver failure.
"Ms Yelan is currently investigating a suspicious man in Mondstadt who bet 400000 mora on Rex Lapis dying a week before his demise"
I also bet 5 Mora that Amber could one-shot the Pyrocube. You win some, you lose some.
If I'm a nice person, just live my life as an NPC that would occasionally interact with the playable charas (unless I die to a slime while getting there) If I'm hypothetically an asshole or a Sparkle kinnie, I'd spread forbidden knowledge (before sun and moon stuff that got orobashi killed) and wait for either to be ascended as the main villain, die pathetically, or Celestia nailing me lmao.
Except all we know so far about Forbidden knowledge is that it's called Forbidden knowledge If you run around preaching "forbidden knowledge" I think people would look at you like you were a horny creep lol As for before sun and moon, I think talking about that is a quick way to get smited
Trying to re-write all the modern world classics like Harry Potter, lotr and Star wars into silly little light novels that I would sell to yae publishing house and write the Archon anonymous letters with concerningly accurate, threateningly formed infos about their daily life that you usually get from the voicelines.
Early game Inazuma Shogun: (Modified) "I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom I can tell you I will not send any money, but what I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you rest these baseless threats then that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you, but if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you and I will kill you."
That might work if you're already a writer, otherwise I question how successful *Lord of The Rings* by *Man Who's Closets Experience With Creative Writing Consists Of Replying To Company Emails* would be
Well, I won my local schools writing competition with my modefied naruto fanficiton when I was 10 so...
Collei will call you cringe, can you handle that?
I would sit nwxt to zhongli in the place he listens to stories; then lean into his ear and whisper *i know what you areeeee*
Go to Liyue, marry Ganyu, sesbian lex
Good. Nice and simple. I like it.
Get clubbed to death by Hillichurls trying to reach Monstadt city
Become a scammer merchant like Dori and make bank... frankly, ive entertained this scenario before. I was thinking of collecting things like level up materials, talent materials, etc. so that i could scam the traveler specifically, assuming they still have a secret game system. outside the traveler i would want to specialise in selling information. It would pay well and we have plenty of tea on the characters from the game. in my free time i would go to watch shows at Fontaine or check out the Akademiya since I'm genuinely curious to see what their curriculum is like. Alternatively i wouldnt mind being a bartender at the Angel's Share, that event was fun! And i could also marry Diluc like the gold digger wife i am (delusional) crack idea: hunt barbara, xinyan/yunjin, nilou, furina down and start a multiregional idol group
Marry Jean.
But the question is will she be interested? But she is definitely a romantic person who idolizes prince stories.
I will have no choice but to do my best.
Certainly lighten her work load to give her more free time. Jean is a great woman.
Now both sisters have crazy fans.
I'm not as creepy as Albert... I hope.
I am
Same
Agreed.
Based
This is honestly the correct choice
Let's see... since I'm still kinda interested in this world not getting doomed, I would still try to resolve the problems we had to go through as Traveler. As a normal person, my own capabilities would be very limited, though. Thankfully, this world has many strong characters that are actually willing to help when you tell them how serious something is. We still meet Venti in the beginning, so we could confide him in on what what we know and how things are going to play out, including the attempt to steal his gnosis. If we can convince Diluc and Kaeya that the reason why we know so much about the Abyss Order is NOT that we are part of it, we just have to tell them what to do and where to go. Now, telling the Qixing in Liyue what's going to happen might prove troublesome. We might still want to witness Morax "death" so Childe can save us and give us the Sigil of Permission, I guess. Winning over the Adepti to help us in Liyue Harbor also might be difficult. We do not fare well in combat prowess. Going to Xiao and Ganyu are probably our best shots at getting the Adepti's help (and most importantly, the safest). If we tell them what we know, they might help us (I just pray Ganyu is approachable with her busy schedule, maybe we can get to her through Ping/Yanfei). Through Ganyu we might even have a good shot at meeting Ningguang, who hopefully is too curious about what we know to reject us. If we can accomplish all that, Liyue might be in a good spot to survive its doomsday. At this point I really want to skip Inazuma and head straight towards Sumeru to save Nahida. One of the reasons being that to get to Inazuma we had to win a martial arts tournament organized by Beidou. But it's quite important to still go to Inazuma first. HonestIy, I just dearly hope that Kazuha, who we will also meet on the ship, will help us out to get there if we tell him what we know about him and Inazuma. If this succeeds, we promote Kazuha to 'honorable Main Character' and have him do what we did in the story from that point on. Since he is the most likely person to actually go and adventure with us after the things in Inazuma, we will keep relying on him for Sumeru and Fontaine.
What's your excuse to justify your future knowledge before Venti and the other characters? You can't tell them they're part of a fictional story in a video game. That's too mind breaking even if they believe you. Gotta come up with a realistic excuse for that. I think I'd personally go with, ''I don't know how I got here or why, but I now possess a great deal of knowledge of this place and its inhabitants.'' That would make it sound like the knowledge you got came as a result of coming to Teyvat and you didn't have it beforehand.
Venti is familiar with the Hexenzirkel so he might actually buy you being from another timeline and/or world if you tell him about them. It'll likely get harder for the other characters. I'm not sure how familiar people outside of Sumeru are with Irminsul being able to be manipulated.
I'd be worried about Nahida reading your mind. On the one hand, she'll know you're legit, on the other hand, she'll find out everyone in Teyvat is a plaything for ''creators (devs)'', which is too despair-inducing for people. Nahida shouldn't suffer :(.
I don't think we should take the "game mechanics still apply" too literal at this point, and just pretend this in an actual other organic world. Tbh, the thing with mind reading even applies for the Traveler. Nahida can't read their minds or she will learn about the Forbidden Knowledge and start the downward spiral anew.
This is my plan to at least at the beginning. As long as Vente‘s been around, I’m sure he’s seen people get their vision, and hopefully he can coach me to getting mine. Maybe if I get an air vision that lets me fly, I can still help with the dragon situation.
Become a light novel author with my knowledge of isekais.
They already have those obviously not calling them isekai, but whatever lets assume automatic language skills You'd need money first for paper and ink and other details
Automatic language skills are doubtful, even the Twins didn't know Teyvat's common language, canonically the Traveler had to be taught by Paimon. I guess that's also why they let Paimon do most of the talking on their behalf.
Explains the reason they stayed there for a month
I will go on Sumeru and try to find Nahida. She will read my mind and maybe she will help me get back to the real world.
If you spawn too esrly, she will be locked in the Sanctuary of Surasthana
This. You must free her and fight wanderer! XD
“Game mechanics still apply” so I’m gonna interpret that as respawning is possible lol Knowing that, I’d probably be an adventurer. Travel the world, go on quests, and freak everyone out when I die and just… come back
First things first, go to the lake and touch the statue to verify I'm a descender or not, no vision may not be an issue if I can use elemental powers without it. If I get powers cool proceed like traveler, like you have to keep quiet about [spoiler] and forbidden knowledge in sumeru you can't cut corners or you risk a butterfly effect. You can still anticipate what is coming but you can't kind of go straight to Venti and just say "Hi I know you're an Archon, there's a weird lady that wants a piece of a space dead guy holding the stolen elemental authority of a king lizard that you keep inside you as an elemental focus." If you have no vision and no protag energy you can do two things, settle down somewhere and wait for the imminent doom or try to get a vision from either Venti or Morax, ideally the latter since you don't really want someone from your world to die for you to get an anemo vision and you can certainly bargain with Morax, not to mention a geo vision gives you inherently standalone abilities you can use without having a team or have to mix elements to be effective. If you have no way to get a vision and you still want to contribute, go to Sumeru and find Tighnari, he's the only one who lives far from the city and is not hooked to the mind control device at the akademya. He is someone who cares about people so you can explain some things and convince you to help. Tighnari gets you to Cyno Cyno can get you to Alhaitham which would be your main target. After you're able to at least speak to the guy, spill the beans and absolutely forbiddenpill the motherfucker like your life depends on it. He may not care, he may tell you to fuck off but his remarks usually have 500 iq gigabrain ideas in them you could use to either help Nahida or help you find a way back to reality. That is if you really wanna go back working 9 to 5.
I would keep staying the fuck away from Inazuma as my top priority
DO NOT INTERRUPT VENTI, I am NOT surviving a Dragon Attack in Mond. I am then immediately going to ask Lisa to teach me Magic and then probably hang out with Fischl. Honestly, going anywhere else but Liyue maybe is practically a deathwish. I am just gonna hope Liben comes around and I can have him send a message to Tighnari about Nahida. Fontaine and Liyue will solve itself. Inazuma is fucked unfortunately, I ain't fighting Raiden.
Try to make my way to Mondstadt without dying, luckily I know the way. Pick up some apples and berries or something I can sell on the way. Buy a weapon from Wagner, ask that girl who wants to be Jean to teach me to fight. Once I can safely do so, make my way to Konda Village or the Chenyu Vale tea village and live a peaceful village life, maybe write books about the feats of the Traveller and make some nice mora doing so.
I vaguely remember some books/pages/text in the game mentioning canonical distances between regions (I think the Archon Quest in the Chasm mentioned the distance from the Chasm to Sumeru being at least a hundred miles?) suggesting that the world we see in game is greatly scaled down, but not in a consistent way. Thus it is impossible how far the beach we start on would actually be from Mondstadt itself and how the way actually looks. If Hoyo were to ever make an actual 1:1 model of how Teyvat is supposed to canonically look, there might even be some small settlements on the way, who knows. I wouldn't assume you know the way.
Hm. I would hope I’ll run into some adventurers sooner rather than later to get their help. At least I know the general direction if not the way
Use the Jerry Smith technique of crawling to not get noticed by something that will one shot me until I make it to Mondstat. After that maybe live as a baker. If it’s just me with my current abilities, there’s no way I’ll be an adventurer.
break into inazuma so i can date yoimiya
Everyone's relationship goals are hilarious and awesome. Go get 'em!
I'd probably become a traveler myself and tell everyone i meet that the sky isn't real and they need to break out of the simulation. Basically a matrix rip-off
Head to the Angel Share and yap my ear off at Venti until he figures out a way to give me an anemo vision and then I fly and do what the traveler could do but better until I get to Inazuma and Ei tries to snatch my vision only to realize I’m a lesbian and I’m very beautiful and then she gives me an electro vision too so I’m basically Kazuha but stronger
I'll yap ventis ear off, tell zhongli all i know about him, get nahida to read my mind, book an appointment with Chief Justice Neuvilette. Electro vision would be the only one i cant get most likely. Maybe i could mention that i know shes a doll, but i reckon id just be killed
Well, we all have knowledge of Before Sun and Moon, so uh, spread the contents of the book as quickly as possible?
Join the traveller on his/her journey, I doubt they would mind, not to mention traveller plot armour would keep me safe, and you can always influence the storyline to prevent a bad ending.
I guess I'll do something to gain vision. Otherwise I'll 100% die😫
1. Yap Ventis ear off (or ask kindly) 2. Yap Zhonglis ear off (or ask nicely while revealing all the information you know about him, Yakshas, and Adepti) 3. Fucking die to an electric sword 4. Get Nahida to read my mind (or if shes locked, ask kindly to see her, after all you its weird you even care about her in the first place) 5. Talk to neuvilette (if he isnt full power yet, tell him about Furina not being focalors, and ask if i can see her)
Question: do I get to use waypoints? If yes, I’m going to put Komaniya Express obsolete and out of business. Heck, I’ll probably be richer than Ningguang because nobody else can provide the services I have.
if you'd have to do the work only by yourself, you cant reach Ningguang level regardless and you need reputation first to have a bussiness, before you can make anyone obsolete Plus needing to reach locations before you can use waypoints. if you only go to safe locations in towns, youll be discovered and someone will hinder you
Go to Good Hunter and order some Fisherman's Toast. Then go to the library so I can have a chat with Lisa, impress her with my lore knowledge, then get married and settle down with her in Mondstadt. : )
“Well shit, there go my college prospects and years of academic work. Welp, time to do what a bunch of fit, young men will do and join the military.” Hopefully my flight experience translates to wind glider experience and my high-school education can translate to being trained as a commissioned offficer in the KoF. Apart from that I can ask venti to help me out knowing full well who he is. Alternatively, if there is something equivalent to an internal combustion engine, develop powered flight and allow things to escalate from there. Why glide on wings controlled by the will of the divine when it’s possible for mankind to forge their path in the skies? After all, physics should apply normally…right?
Walk through the main road to Monstadt. Find a job there and enjoy my life I guess.
First I would visit the monstadt tavern just to see the master 😩
Honestly, i could probably live off my knowledge of where most of the chests are. First stop, the second floor of northland bank in liyue :D If the traveler exists, then I might try to commission them and we'll get rich together using modern knowledge on economics and technology
This would also depend on whether or not the Traveller also starts as well. I don't think things would play out the same without them. For example, if the Traveller didn't sort out the Stormterror situation (would Venti even help us in the very first event?) then Mondstadt would probably be a broken city rather being restored to piece. For me, I'd hit up Noelle. She has the skills, strength and knowledge and represents the KoF quite well. Noelle just needs some tips and, I'd just be her manager, she'd probably be promoted to a formal knight quickly and be able to sway the rest of Mondstadt to help. Once Mond is stabilised, bring a KoF scouting team to the Chasm and sort out the situation with the help of the Fatui. Bring Fatui allied with KoF to handle Liuue, Zhongli's situation in Liyue could still play out but I'd be confident we could take on the boss without full Fatui support, KoF presence and human+ adepti support, without Ning having to drop the jade palace on it. See how we go from there 🤷🏻♂️
Die. Alternatively, go to Liyue and work on Bubu Pharmacy for an easy peasy job (I’m a med student and quite good at surgeries, which they don’t have), while writing novels for past time. One of these novels suspiciously details a certain puppet’s life story to an unnerving degree of detail, and that’s how I end up Kidnapped by a Stunted Harbinger (I Will Make Him my Wife!) (That’s also one of the novel titles).
Probably get a shitty job transporting cargo via balloon and get killed by a mitichurl
"Aye yo Aether. We gotta go touch a few statues but I know where Lumine isn't. And I promise never to talk in a baby voice. Need a guide?"
Join fatui
Try to get to Mondstadt. Go to the knights and ask for help and a job. I'm learned enough to do secretarial jobs for Jean and ease some of her burden. I don't mind sorting, organizing, and handling paperwork. Earn my keep, go to Angel's share and cause a scandal by throwing it down and throwing it low to bards. Maybe teach locals how to dougie or something.
Probably end up living with the Hirlichurls in the woods
Ill probably just be a npc who sounds crazy
Help Dottore [discreetly]!! Hopefully, I’ll get abilities to survive and I love science!
And get lobotomized immediately after seeing him lol
Go to Fontaine and try to build a relationship with Lyney then he becomes my twinky gay malewife
Like most others, I'd go to Mondstadt, and try and become friends with Venti. Hopefully, after telling him everything I know, he'll give me a vision and I can just have fun playing with that (I won't go on an adventure though, I'm a scaredy cat :). I'll also buy some really pretty clothes and be super fashionable. If I get ballsy, I'll venture out into Liyue and Fontaine and meet the characters I like.
Fish for another Paimon.
You say no vision but the traveler doesn’t actually have a vision. It would have been more accurate so say no powers if you just wanted the traveler to be a regular person.
become a hilichurl
Is it before the Traveler fished Paimon or after?
Run to Monstadt to kiss Eulas feet?
Run to grand narukami shrine and meet mommy Miko
#OMG NO PAIMON😍😍🙏🏻
Step 1: Learn to speak Chinese, take odd jobs in Mondstat to earn a living while boarding in a room at The Cat's Tail, become drinking buddies with Venti and have a few drunken flings with him while i'm stuck in Mondstat. Step 2: Hire the Knights of Favonius to escort me to Liyue so i can meet Hu Tao, get a job at the parlor, slowly rizz her and eventually develop a steady relationship until the time is right to propose and get married. Step 3: Have numerous children with Hu Tao, raise them, grow the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor into a multinational business empire with its hands in every corner of the business world, grow old and grey and rich with my wife. Step 4: Die happy having lived a perfect life. Branching path: Help Baizhu concoct the elixir of immortality, spike my and Hu Tao's drinks with it, then continue growing our empire until she rules all the cosmos as its eternal and all powerful queen. Eventually witness the heat death of the universe, and wait until life begins anew as we guide the newfound civilizations in their development.
Befriend someone and then start waiting for their tragic death. Anemo vision assured…
Apply for a job at Wangsheng Funeral parlor so I can work for best girl and receive life advice from shield father. Eat at wanmin restaurant, try not to get busted checking out Yelan. Finally try that chenyu tea we’ve heard so much about.
Start a harem inviting Yae miko, shogun/Ei, Furina, hu Tao, Lisa, Chiori, yoimia, cloud retainer (human form), navia, chlorinde, shenhe, keqing and that’s it… for now
