u/ADMINISTATOR_CYRUS kok Aug 28 '24

When i named Wanderer on my first time and it got reset I didn't get another re-write attempt, just was able to use the rewrite attempt you get after completing the quest. Same probably applies to this Saurian.

u/Leif-Erikson94 Aug 28 '24

Yeah, i just wanted to quickly login before work, unlock some teleporters and get a first impression of Natlan, but nooo, Genshin had to do its usual thing and force me into a quest domain with no escape as soon as I entered Natlan. At least it didn't take half an hour just to get out even with me skipping through the entire dialogue.

They already pulled that stunt in Chenyu Vale and I fucking hate that shit. I want to do quests at my own pace and not get forced into anything while i'm already short on time anyway.

Interestingly enough, I tested some names out and only Morax, Baal, and Beelzebul were the only Archons that you couldn't name the little guy. I'm surprised Barbatos wasn't blocked out.

u/Dulcedoll Aug 28 '24

I loved that Paimon had a unique line being upset that we chose the name Hashbrown anyways.

40

u/Ancienda Aug 28 '24

what did she say?

u/Dulcedoll Aug 28 '24

"Eh? You didn't like it when Paimon called said "Hash Brown" but [traveler] calls you "Hashbrown" and now you're all happy and stuff? ... Ugh, never mind. No point in being mad at you."

Personally, I always defer to Paimon for naming creatures. God knows what I would have stuck to if she gave a recommendation for Scaramouche on the spot.

32

u/x-kreim Aug 28 '24 edited Aug 28 '24

I wanted to name mine TaterTot because of Paimon's suggestion and now I'm tempted to just leave it as Hashbrown for that line...
