Is it morally wrong to kill monsters in Genshin Impact? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! But before I continue, there will be some pretty major spoilers ahead. So, proceed with caution! For those of you who don't know, there are many various monsters in Genshin Impact. There are elemental creatures like slimes and whopperflowers, and there are organic beings like hilichurls. Since the game forces you to fight all of these creatures, of course it wouldn't make you feel bad for it. Except, it does. All of the different types of hilichurls are often hinted at having a higher intelligence. They have their own language, and they'll even talk with people if approached kindly. Later on in the game, it was revealed that this is because they are the cursed people of Khaenri'ah. Although this is bad enough, this also goes for the abyss monsters like the mages and heralds. Even though elemental creatures seem to be rather hostile on their own, it's hard to tell if they're really just scared or not. With all of this information, it's safe to say it feels wrong to go around fighting these things for no reason. Yes they attacked first, but really they did have a good reason. As the game progresses, it just makes you feel worse for fighting all of them too. But, these are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. However, I do feel like it's a cruel joke to make you fight monsters and then feel bad for doing so. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!
