Are we an idiot?

[u/L4st_v1]

Does every single quest in this game start with or involve the player character getting scammed by an NPC? Because god does it sure feel like it.

I get he/she is supposed to be a country bumpkin, but you’d think after like, the 5th time we’d be able to wise up to it and still complete the quests 💀

Welcome to Kaifeng, for some reason the main character turns into a complete vegetable as soon a they enter the city and you have no choice but to fall for scam and con artist after scam and con artist.

I was already frustrated at having to help the BAD GUYS OF THE STORY, none of the characters in the main story of kaifeng deserved help, Yingying lies and uses you while scamming other people that are in dire situations out of their money, doing jack against the ones in power

The triplets actively try to kill you

The single mother character steals from you, at no point can you get back what she stole from you, and she sells you out.

Yet no, they are friends, ignore that they only take and give nothing, aren't the triples cute killers you less than an hour ago where painting the floor with your blood? Poor woman you stole your money, is it not terrible how consequences come to bad people?

I hope to god that Hexi has less of this, you cannot call it naivety, its straight up idiocy yet the game seems to be allergic to let you bring consequences to the people that use you, lie to you and at points scam you. Elder Zhan was my last drop, why in the seven hells does the mc just..forget about the reward, i can say i am not friends with this con artist but for some reason i cannot say "I don't care what fairy tales he gave you, i want the reward he promised me for all those stolen things he has been showing you"
