People really forget that Dottore is an apathetic and logical person. He does everything in pursuit of knowledge not because he enjoys hurting people. It's also funny how he was only interested in ruin guards when he was still in the Akademiya but they didn't let him study ruin guards so he started experimenting on people 😭😭 I don't know how he didn't receive a vision with that kind of ambition lol
I can't wait to see him again, his lore, he's my favorite since manga and I am dying to have him playable! Absolutely gorgeous character! (and his voice does things to me) p.s. According to his eng VA, the last voice was of 10 yo segment and an age gap between segments approximately 5-10 years, and he's voiced 8 segments for that scene, also the oldest segment he voiced was 60+ yo
He's such an interesting character that thankfully doesn't cone off as the cliché mad scientist type. I hope we see more of him and that HoYo doesnt nerf him. Great video as always!
Smartest, yes. Most evil, are you on crack? We've seen entire civilisations destroyed by beings, and even stuff like what happened with the Deys which led to much devastation, not to mention the Tsurumi Island sacrifices, etc. and the Sages locking Nahida for 500 years. You really want to say Dottore is worse than all that? Sounds insane to me. I hope he will be in Natlan, for sure, but how are you going to sum up a character whose motivations we do not entirely understand as "evil," let alone the ONLY Harbinger who actually played nice with us when he didn't have to (Arlecchino only did so because SHE was on the line for being dissolved as well, not for any goodness, and Neuvillette/Navia make this quite clear.) Dottore is a greater good kind of person, he pursues knowledge for the benefit of humanity. Perhaps you can call him misguided, but not evil by any stretch, he's saved a lot of lives, ironically including Collei's, and even Tighnari is forced to reckon with this, which is why their exchange at Pardis Dhay went the way it did. Although he did not surrender Haypasia deeming it unnecessary, he was also not hostile with Dottore, knowing well Collei's entire backstory. Dottore did also save Abbas' life, even if the clinical trial was very painful, he at least was cured of Eleazar ad even regained vigour/acquired superhuman strength through the use of archon residue. Though it seems Dottore found a way to refine the method into a vaccine, what else was he supposed to do? Without two Gnoses, not even Nahida could have purified Irminsul, and Dottore was the one to bring that second Gnosis to begin with. If Dottore truly was evil, he could have kxlled us or hurt Nahida/taken the Gnosis by force, yet he chose not to. I'm so tired of people being so simplistic with their assessment of him, if you're going to make theories on characters, at least try to be objective or fair to them.
@@taniaaslanyanikr? He’s genuinely such an interesting and good written character so far, but people only look at the bad of him… They never pay attention to the good deeds he’s done.😢 And as I told one of my friends while discussing something similar to this; No one is born a certain way, it’s what happens and what not that can make someone who they are… Even goals and something they’d want to achieve! I just really hope more people can notice the good things there, it’s just not too many want to pay attention to its
I'd definitely agree with saying that Dottore has convictions, contrary to what Nahida thinks, and is wise enough to determine the best course of action to his goals. However, it's hard to look at all the things Dottore's done on children, to Scaramouche (his friend, that community that lived with them), the people of Sumeru, his subordinates, etc to satisfy his curiosity, and say with a straight face "he's not evil by any stretch". Also, Arlechinno helped Fontaine because her children wished to, while she wasn't Fontainian (but she did grow up there).
I love this man so much, it’s crazy! I just hope he gets playable, but I don’t want one of his segments to defect or to have a redemption arc, in my opinion having morally grey and evil characters makes the whole game more interesting.
HoYo only markets good characters. Which is why they beat us over the head about Childe. And is the reason why I'm worried about the Knave being playable. I'm afraid they'll nerf her personality to make her "good" (and possibly generic), completely uprooting everything they established about her.
I like the differences in his personality in dubs. In English, he's theatrical, arrogant and emotional, but in Japanese and the orig. Chinese, he comes off sophisticated, meticulous and cold. Especially in his introduction and when Columbina "gives him a compliment". They're like two different people, and I imagine his segments being similarly distinguished. The biggest difference of course being that the "Last voice", when he removed the segments, wasn't his manga counterpart. It was a voice of a child.
I get a lot of flak for saying it, but Dottore isn't evil. He's just neutral. He doesn't care one way or another if people benefit or suffer from his experiments, unless that's a goal of the experiment itself. Has he done terrible, horrific things in the name of science? Absolutely. But everything was considered necessary, regardless of cost. Is he completely selfish? Yup. Evil? I'm not buying it. Maybe I just identify with him too much despite having lines I'm unwillingly to cross. Hunger for knowledge is a terrible curse.
11:21 not only himself but also the Captain in case he does something he’ll regret or if he steps out of line and the Captain will just send him to the shadow realm
I'd just love to see some quality of life updates like a trade system for items and artifacts between friends. Also some more underground levels I loved the cave systems in sumeru
The language they use around Dottore does not sound like language revolving around clones. To me, it occurs that what they might describe is a scientist whose science went *wrong*, and in doing so fractured him into various incarnations through time. As such, the "playable" version might represent his "last incarnation" that either (a) realizes the errors of his ways or (b) turns coat to help the Traveller for some other reason. In fact, I conjecture that the story in which that happens will feature three segments of Dottore working together, and one of them switches sides at a key moment. If this is, in fact, the case, I would expect that the "last incarnation" might change sides because, while being brilliant, he can't act effectively against them until he has the Traveller's help. In fact, that "last incarnation" may even be appalled by his prior selves--if it *is* a time-related thing, he may realize that he can't act against them for fear of a Teyvat-shattering time paradox.
8:13 yeah but big dawg THAT dottore said that he’s the selfish/greedy segment and it begs the question of HOW is he not in the shadow realm with the rest of the segments big dawg
I just wish he will bring body horror to Genshin. It won't feel right at least for me if someone who is into messing with nature is shooting beams and blasts.
@@mavty2202 No I expect a proper end game lol, can’t tell me you enjoy baby level puzzles, if archon quest is whats makes you enjoy the game then you safe don’t worry
@@bestinthagame “end game” and the game isn’t even at the end lmao. + exploration , story quests and world quests are right there. + and more importantly, no one is forcing you to play every day lmao. There is plenty of content in Genshin, if you’re already done everything that’s on you, it’s not a real issue. Just find another game to play while you wait for the weekly update with the weekly event
@@mavty2202 can you point out where I said anyone was forcing me, neither did I say I want to play the game everyday nor do I like exploration like I said if that’s what you like you’re safe lmao, “end game” is literally in the game already just stale so I believe it’s possible to make other endgame without the game ending 🤷♂️ it ain’t magic, the game is just boring for me I aint you
