In-Depth Review and Discussion of Nahida’s Story Quest ACT I
Nahida’s characterization and Journey
The story takes place after the whole events of the Sumeru Archon quests. During the archon quest storyline, players get to experience Nahida’s character development throughout the plot. To put it simply, Nahida in hindsight very reserved and soft-spoken Archon. She differentiates herself from the rest of the three Archons, we encountered due to her little experience and knowledge of the outside world and her submissive demeanor.
Nahida initially was never confident with herself as an Archon, having to live up to the expectations of the former Archon of Sumeru, Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, and failing to do so as per the treatment of the Akademia. Although she may not live up to that expectations, we cannot dismiss the fact that Nahida truly cares for the people of Sumeru and we get to experience that when she proves it many times when she protects them from the Akademia’s and the Fatui’s devious plans.
Nahida in this quest has already been a well-loved and established God, having to deal with the many affairs of Sumeru. She helps the people of Sumeru in her own way by going through each of their individual dreams and guiding them through the truth of reality, as painful as it may be. This story quest proves and establishes her from the other archons as someone who is proactive and takes responsibility in her actions to help, even the traveler.
Story Plot
The plot of the story was well received, given that it follows Sumeru’s Archon quest plot with the involvement of Dreams. Ever since the Akademia stopped extracting people’s dreams, everyone in Sumeru can finally experience what it’s like to dream again and hence hosted a little event called ‘A Moment of Dreams’ where the participants share their dreams and ask for advice from the Traveler and Paimon, and also Nahida afterward.
Of course, Nahida vehemently informed the dreamers and the traveler that dreams are meant to be as they are dreams. Fleeting hopes and indulgence for an individual. They should not be taken seriously and people should not risk themselves to live a part of their dreams. Life should be lived dealing and facing the pain and suffering in the real world, not avoiding them and living a false livelihood in dreams to indulge in temporary happiness.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Nahida’s story quest is on par with the other Archon’s story quest in terms of good writing. Even though the stakes were not as high as Raiden Shogun’s second story quest or as dramatic and sad as Zhongli’s both Story quests, it complemented her characterization greatly and stayed relevant to the whole lore of Sumeru.
