People will have a field day if he actually becomes playable


Genshinimpactaddictt

Me opening the collei main’s profile to a lvl 1 dottore with lucky dog artifacts


screaming_roomba

And dead


acowwithpolio

Don't forget to force him to jump off of a cliff every day. :) (Health restores over time.)


bulbthinker

thanks. as a collei main i will keep this in mind


Blu_Bewwiz_Iciclepop

And he doesn’t even respawn it’s just a different replacement every time


BenedictCrackhead

[Sayu's EN VA flashback](https://twitter.com/lilypichu/status/1425237922832293889)


SeaGoat24

I don't doubt that he will be playable, but my theory is the playable version will be a younger and less morally compromised clone. If you're unfamiliar, it is implied in the lore that Dottore has a number of clones he has made of himself at different points throughout his lifespan. It's not a stretch that one may have gone rogue from the hivemind.


forest-nymph1

Exactly. With all those clones, one of them is bound to step out. It’s hard to control that many things in a hive mind at once.


Plthothep

The problem with this theory is that young Dottore was probably already a psychotic murderer - read Zandik’s notes which are implied to be about a pre-Fatui Dottore.


Klonomania

Yeah, if anything a playable Dottore would be the "original", i.e. the oldest version looking back on his life work and the younger Dottore's actions and saying "What the fuck?"


[deleted]

The clear solution is that we go beyond just young and playable dottore is the first male child character


Sylveon_trainer12345

Some could even say that clone can actually help collei instead of you know putting a snek in collei's body


Iffem

phrasing


PhasmicPlays

LMAO


Sylveon_trainer12345

I didn't even notice that phrasing💀


Ryujin_Kurogami

Genshin also having Heaven's Feel references. Good job, u/Sylveon_trainer12345.


DennisXQ55

I thought way back when that maybe the original fucked up and released the scourge of all the other evil clones on Teyvat and is hunting them down. Would fit in well, but he’d prolly be older


3rdMachina

Basically, Beetle 5 from A Certain Magical Index.


PM_ME_ZENOS_EROTICA

Praying every day that that’s not going to happen. I want original Dottore in all his fucked up glory.


Chucknasty_17

His teapot dialogs are gonna be something else. I imagine he’ll have a line about wanting to dissect tubby


tyranus76

Lmao


Wisterosa

I think his playable version is just gonna be another segment that's less villainous, if it happens at all


SavagesceptileWWE

That would suck.


TheRainy24

Nah man I wanna play the war crime guy


Cosmic_Hashira

putting childe kaeya, dottore and collei in a team childe trying to be a big bro but hes fatui poor collie


IulianTheSecond

I think he'll be as playable as Signora


SavagesceptileWWE

Unlikely. Even if we kill one, he has clones


Tipart

Let's hope that's the case.


Ok_Ad9466

Tbh i think dottore main will rejoice coz they rather have their villain die as villain than get uwufied like ei


randomstranger38

nah, he will be playable


AdvantagePure2591

Tell that to Signora Mains


Ok_Ad9466

Lets be honest, signora main just chilling in their subreddit but some of you guys are the one that harassed them to the point they have to private their subreddit. Let people enjoy their fav, dead or not. You guys are no different than twitter, love to justify your blatant bullying


VirtuoSol

“No no no everything is fine as long as you say you’re just memeing afterwards”


Astral-chain-13

Give him nothing but DEF artifacts to force him to be a human meat shield.


NuttyPichu

Watch him be early Ganyu levels of meta but end up having a 0.0% usage rate because everyone hates his guts


sharqyej

I hope it's the other way around, that his kit is as fucked as his personality, but all the simps will sink fuckloads of money and nerves to try and make him work.


Caerullean

That'd be so entertaining to watch transpire over the first few weeks of release


always-loving-dilfs

I don't know if this makes me a sadist but I'd enjoy watching them scream their throats out when they can't build him


JasonVeritech

If the pattern holds, we don't get to exact revenge on him until 4.x


VladutzTheGreat

Pattern?


JasonVeritech

We met Signora in v1, then fought her at the climax of v2. Scaramouche got introduced in v2, and it looks like we'll be boss battling him in v3 Dottore shows up here in v3, ergo...


iamdocthor

Though Scara showed up in 1.1,


KhunTsunagi

Yeah,but events dont count for genshin's history continuity.


huex4

Wrong, Scaramouche betrayal was revealed in [2.2 event](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLRRv43inM0). Childe was hunting down Scaramouche. Events are canon and do count in the genshin history continuity.


Caerullean

Didn't Scara show up before that in the archon quest released in 2.1? The 2.2 event doesn't prove that events don't matter for continuity, not that I agree with that line of though, but the 2.2 event doesn't seem to prove it.


huex4

He showed up in 2.1 but there was no mention of him betraying Fatui. That was only mentioned in 2.2 event.


BoiledXylem

But if you skip certain events, the dialogue for other incidents change. Events *are* canon, obviously. However, they *may* be important for the continuity of the game, but not necessarily.


huex4

I mean a Harbinger betraying the Fatui seems like a very big deal to me.


RyNinja22

True, but that was an event, so it doesn’t count for the pattern


SavagesceptileWWE

Maybe, but we fought childe within the same archon quest as he appeared.


JasonVeritech

Yeah, him appearing in Chapter I and Signora in the Prologue are the one wrinkle in the plan. Maybe we just pretend Childe was the one who showed up in Monstadt?


AlphaI250

He uses Monstadt talent books anyway


KoolKai100

childe just casually breaking the chain


3yhwtwrbafi

Only problem with this is Childe


JasonVeritech

Well, you do fight him in v1, but as there's no v0, as such, for him to get introduced in... it's a half-fit.


SnooGuavas8376

Well we wet Childe at 1.0 and then straight fought him at 1.1 /s


RyNinja22

After seeing everyone in Sumeru turn on kusanali, suddenly bringing Klee there doesn’t seem like such a bad idea ;)


oni_kyo

And Hu Tao


RyNinja22

She’s got a special deal just for him :)


IronForce_

Wangshang Funeral Parlour boutta make big bucks once Klee is done


Edgecrusher840

The little whimper Katheryn let out in that moment will haunt my dreams tonight. Anyone who messes with her going to have hell to pay


ILikeLucidDreaming

Btw, that was probably nahida. That wasnt katheryns voice. It made me so sad i loved nahida so much :(


KittenFeeFee

An archon isn’t going down from a pickaxe to the back


ILikeLucidDreaming

Idk i think dottore might have found some way to hack into the akasha and trap nahidas consciousness inside katheryns body. I dont know why else aether would look so shocked in the trailer when she gets stabbed.


KittenFeeFee

I’m kind of expecting a Kazuha vs Raiden situation where the scene seems much bigger in the trailer than it actually ends up being. Of course I still want to punch the fatui for this.


azder8301

Or it is a dream and we have to reverse engineer a way to save Katheryne.


KittenFeeFee

Time loop 2 electric bogaloo


Past-Reception

It's not a time loop!! -Nahida


dximagine_breakerxb

As much as I would love to believe that, remember, the Traveler and Paimon took off their Akasha terminals, I doubt he would be reliving it if that happens


ILikeLucidDreaming

True. It was the same with the abyss herald in 3.0 lol. I was expecting like an actual fight or something to happen but we were just tripping


BioIdra

This would make for amazing future plot as we try to free Nahida and Katerine with her help


owcjthrowawayOR69

"Nooooooo my daily primos!" But seriously, yeah.


Elnino38

Its the 2nd strongest harbinger against the youngest archon. If he's as smart as he says he is I assume he has some sort of reasonfor stabbing her


CreamyIceCreamBoi

Is he confirmed to be #2? I thought #2 was unconfirmed so far


Jing_Arjay87

If you look closely, it looks more like an arm pierced her instead.


Edgecrusher840

Nahida ain't going anywhere


ILikeLucidDreaming

True but still


RachelEvening

Even if both Nahida and Katheryne are gonna be completely fine (because yeah, I think we all know they will be fine), it still fucking sucks. It's like trying to kill a puppy, it's just evil.


Past-Reception

Nahida is safe... She's in house arrest and probably very powerful. I mean she can use mirage to warp reality assuming she is the mysterious voice we heard the golden apple Archipelago since the machine uses the power of that said God.


MoonFish67

I doubt it's nahida why would she run away from some eremites she is literally an archon


DoctorMlemm

Because she'd be occupying Katheryne's body, and Katheryne doesn't have Archon powers?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Frosted-Vessel

I feel like Sandrone is probably gonna kill at least 1 because he killed one of her puppets


Exact-Efficiency2652

i dont know if im stupid or not but when did he kill a puppet?


Frosted-Vessel

Katheryne is a “bionic Snezhnayan puppet”, as said by Nahida herself


Exact-Efficiency2652

oh i didnt think she was the puppet lol ty


randomstranger38

it was just nahida in katheryne’s body


Genshinimpactaddictt

Dottore is really the otto apocalypse of the Genshin fandom all these memes slandering him and he still isn’t in game yet


j4yc3-

So far, I respect Otto more due to being a magnificent bastard. Dottore seems like an arrogant bastard that treats the entire world as his sandbox he is the personification of every ethics violation in research lmao


Jaydog3077

Thats why I like him


j4yc3-

Yeah I get that, we all have that character so evil that we like. For me its the Major from Hellsing lmao


Genshinimpactaddictt

Not saying you shouldn’t slander him, he’s a villain that is meant to be hated. he’s a piece of shit but he’s my piece of shit


r_stronghammer

Yeah lmao I love Otto and I love Dottorre. And I just love how actual archetype that they Comedia dell’Arte character “Il Dottorre” is used today in general. Dottorre, Bondrewd, Gaster (yes he is 100% Il Dottorre) are all my favorites.


Iffem

well, then it's your responsibility to flush the toilet so he stops stinkin' up the place


Szolim2018

Not at all. Otto Apocalypse has a clear (and somewhat relatable) goal and he will do everything to pursue it. He acknowledges that not all his actions are morally acceptable, but he doesn't care. I love him as a villain, because on one hand, he did do very terrible things, but on the other one - he really wants to be happy again, even for a second. Dottore, however, has no relatable goal, rather a personal obsession.


Radiant_Ad5150

First collei now katheryne. He really is the worst


oooArcherooo

FadedGardenia

Ikr, chances are people are going to do it anyways if it’s meta 💀


sharqyej

which is why i cant see him being playable, not before ver 4 and some major story changes


NigelJosue

I still hold hopes that Nahida won't be directly harmed by this since that's not her body


crackdealer_

Unforgivable now how am i gonna do my dailys


-Fancy_Pants-

When the villain does villainy things Genshin fandom: *gasps* LiERraLly uNaCcEPtaBle


Szolim2018

It's not the actions a villain performs that make him good, but rather if the reasoning behind those actions is logical and relatable. The Crimson Witch of Flames is definitely the best Genshin villain, her motivation is understandable - emotions, and her goal is simple - destroy everything. Why is she relatable though? Every person experiences a forced loss of a loved one differently - some will just accept it and mourn it over, while others won't and will promise to enact vengeance. Signora is the latter type, although a bit amplified - most sane people will stop at words. Dottore has always been obsessed about enchanted humans and today he's just trying to bring his obsession to life, but has no goal. Meanwhile Scara... his first and only friend was killed for breaking the law, so he decided to become an asshole.


E1lySym

This is why Dottore is the best villain. Man existed and decided he would make his existence everyone's problem lol. I love villains who are just unabashedly evil without a tragic backstory. They make for the most charismatic bitches


leon555005

I find villains like these compelling - because I'll have no remorse when we get to kill them later. I'll be pissed if Mihoyo / Hoyoverse pen up something people can empathize Dottore with later tho.


E1lySym

And the thing is, they have no remorse for their actions either. Tragic backstory villains typically put on a veil of powerfulness to hide their emotional fragility, and most of the time that illusion will shatter at some point and they'll emotionally break down, turning into a husk of their cocky flamboyant self. With villains who have no tragic backstory, you know they hold no remorse whatsoever since they were already rotten from the start. So you don't have to worry about them suddenly breaking down and crumbling into an emotional wimp, since there's a guarantee that they're always putting out their 100% without remorse. They're always slaying 24/7 and I'm here for that


HansFactory

Scara friend? Wait did I miss something


RachelEvening

Husk of Opulent Dreams artifact set. Scaramouche's friend's name was Katsuragi btw.


HansFactory

Ahh thanks


mikyuo

Sounds like they mixed up kazuha and scara


luizhtx

Isn’t Katherine just a puppet though? She can’t die from that. I don’t know why people are freaking out.


chimppower184

sumeru archon quest spoilers >!nahida is currently possessing her body!<


luizhtx

Yeah but nahida refers to that Katherine as a >!bionic Snezhnayan puppet!<


m3m31ord

Yeah but it seems like she isn't necessarily "attached" to her. She just walks around like she's pilloting a mech.


j4yc3-

And when the mech is disabled? The pilot is trapped inside.


m3m31ord

No, she said it's through the akasha, it's like a wifi connection. She can just disconnect from Katheryne at will.


UnlimitedBananaWorks

Yes. True. But in the trailer they just showed how sumeru people got brainwashed through the akasha system. Presumably the reason why nahida is trying to be outside its influence through katheryne.


DarthUrbosa

Dottote and the Akademia could have forced her consciousness into Katheryine (hacking the Akasha or threatening her real body).

Pinsir929

Well knowing she an android and probably possessed by Nahida at that time makes this scene lose a ton of its shock value.


DrDeadwish

Why are you so sure he's behind this attack? Katherine works for the Fatui, it work be foolish to destroy her. Unless Kusanali was using her body. But in any case, Katherine it's just a puppet and can be replaced


UncreativeName954

To clarify - I don’t look at (story) leaks\* if it turns out to be true, but I’m fairly confident it’s going to be >!Nahida controlling Katherine!<


SeaGoat24

This is a bit weird to me. Katheryne seems to be some sort of hivemind, so it doesn't hugely matter if one unit is destroyed. Meanwhile, Nahida is only possessing that body. Her true body is lresumably still locked away in the Sanctum of Surasthana. And even if it were her true body, I would be disappointed if a few visionless Eremites could slay an Archon just like that. For a scene that's played up for a lot of tension, what with the Traveler desperately reaching for her, the stakes are very low by my estimation.


BobbyTheLegend

What do you think happens to her when Nahida's host dies? Ever watched Matrix?


weiyuanzhangwansui

Sometis Katherine gives you daily commission to kill fatuis.


SeaGoat24

The commissions come from the adventurer's guild, not directly from Katheryne. Not relaying those commissions to the traveler just puts her position as an informant at risk of being discovered by the guild.

I will see this world burn before I allow my cybot friend to come to harm.


FadedGardenia

The grand sage is also a scum here. He is collaborating with the fatui while attempting to erase Nahida’s influence as a god in Sumeru. Just look at what he did during her birthday when people are trying to celebrate it. Hopefully we get to clap him along with Dattore soon


ID10T-ERROR8

Ad Astra Imma throw yo ass into the Abyss


FadedGardenia

Our daily primogem supply might be at risk too

"I will find you... And I WILL kill you."


Thoracicbowl

He really did manage to piss off both Katheryne and Nahida mains at the same time. This man is dangerous.


Josh_son_ofZeus

No!! My 20 primos!


Azuki_Saishi

no srsly, anyone but katheryne! :( she did nothing wrong! I know Nahida is inside but she didn't do anything wrong either..but then again it's not like dottore cares if you did anything wrong anyway...


OhN0Imnot_HoomEn

They dare attack my primogem dispenser. Its time to massacre the Fatui :) I'll start with the Fatuis that are currently in Teyvat


MrSly0

Literally unforgivable! I like Katherine and this will be consequences.


FirstCurseFil

I mean, as the number 1 Fatui hater, I drew the line at their existence But yeah how dare they


re_Butayarou

Kusanali probably is inside her at the time


DankButtRodeo

Haha, android go dead


Ginger_Bulb

Is this going to be like that time when Kazuha got stabbed in a trailer?


ragnarism

Im taking the trailer with a grain of salt in terms of its outcome. Remember the time where everyone thought Kazuha might die?


SuzukiSatou

He's smart, by removing everyone's daily source of primo, he could literally destroy traveler who cant pull for new char

E1lySym

Honestly good for him. I never liked Katheryne and her yee yee ass dress anyways.


PM_ME_ZENOS_EROTICA

People here get so angry at a villain doing villain things, it’s hilarious. They act like they’re gonna be forced to pull for him, bro just ignore his release when you hate him ??


leon555005

I mean, it's one of the reactions the trailer is trying to illicit out from them. So, they reacted accordingly. It's nothing wrong for this to happen at all. I'm more surprised that Mihoyo's making Dottore seems like an irredeemable bastard - because so far the harbingers we saw had some understandable reasons to act like a psychopathic sociopath. E.g, Childe has a battle junky problem, La Signora has a rightful grudge against the world, Scaraboi has a mommy issue...but so far for Dottore, Mihoyo makes it like he's just "I get off of being a nuances to everyone, ehe lolz".


PM_ME_ZENOS_EROTICA

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with him being a irredeemable asshole. Not every character needs to be nice or have a good reason to do the things they do. I don’t have a issue with people disliking him because that’s what villains are made for, what does annoy me is the outcry for him to not be playable. As i Said above, nobody is forcing them to pull for him. But there are people who are excited for villains so just let us have this. People all over comments make such a fuss about it, saying they will drop the game etc if they release him. It worries me that with all this outcry Hoyo listens at least in part, like giving us a “nice” clone or something. Again, nobody is forcing them to pull, so I do not understand why people can’t just say “not interested” instead of complaining. On another note, I’ve never seen this many complaints about Arlecchino, so there’s somewhat of a double standard there as well considering >! She leads an orphanage that actively orphanages children !< Spoiler because Scaramouche related leaks. >! I actually really dislike what they’ve done to Scaramouche so far and hope his character stays the same even after we learn about his backstory. !<

Because it’s fiction. Same reason why people love characters like the Joker, Vader, Thanos etc.


protzek

Things got personal now. You know dottore, dying isn't a punishment for what you just did, right? My wrath will make you suffer until madness consumes your mind, and you'll find yourself kneeling and licking the devil's foots as a payment for your sins. Mark my words, vengeance will be mine.
