Is it just me or is Taimi’s carefree Scarlet worship starting to be a problem. She has always been fascinated with Scarlet’s research but then we find the machine that supposedly caused Scarlet to go nuts and she runs inside without a thought about what could happen and it jealous that you got to see the eternal alchemy instead of herself. I could easily see the GMs making Taimi turn into Scarlet 2.0 before the end of the season and force the player to kill her. Anyone else thinking the same thing?

No I’ve been getting that impression, too. I mean she basically worships the ground Scarlet walks on, she mentions in Ep 1 that she thinks she and Scarlet are connected somehow, and she just throws herself into Omadd’s machine without a second thought.

I mean I love Taimi; she’s my favorite out of Destiny’s Edge 2.0 but she’s kind of teetering on the edge of obsession and insanity here and I’m kinda worried she’s gonna take a lone trip down to the machine on her own and jump in while no one’s watching.

That’s what I’m most afraid of. When Taimi stepped into the machine I thought she was going to be corrupted or come out a vegetable, but I don’t think Anet is going to go there. It seems more likely that she will grow and mature as the story progresses—she is still a kid after all.

. . . then again, she’s an asuran kid, humility and learning from one’s mistakes isn’t exactly in their wheelhouse, so who knows.

The moment Taimi explained what Omadd’s machine was, I thought, “For the love of all Six and a bag of grits! Someone tie this half-pint heifer AND her golem down before she does something stupid!” And then I’m forced to watch the entire party turn their back to an Asuran kid with an unhealthy interest in Scarlet and the machine that drove her mad.

I’m surprised none of you heard me swearing at my monitor…

And they call us “bookah”…

It would be quite a surprise if Anet went that way. From not involving Taimi in the attack on Lions Arch because she is a child, all the way to make the players themselves take her out? Not likely.

I must say i was instantly reminded of the Mass Effect 1 Beacon scene on Eden Prime as i played through that instance. I dont mind that at all though.

But back to Taimi, if she has anything to worry about, its Rox. She is getting on her nerves.

Where’s Zojja? She’s technically Taimi’s guardian and also would probably be interested in Scarlet’s findings.

But no I don’t think Taimi’s going to go evil since that would leave empty space in the cuteness department. Also I think we’re starting to stretch the going insane thing a bit. We already had Scarlet and what’s-he’s-name from the first episode. We don’t want this turning into WoW (or at least WoW up until Cataclysm, didn’t really keep up with the lore after that).

She’s definitely a loose cannon, but she’s also pretty darn useful. She just needs constant adult supervision . . . and possible a leash.

Having sudden flashbacks to the Buttons and Mindy skits from Animaniacs. But yes, Taimi needs one of those child leashes that were popular in the 90s. Link her to Braham. Better yet, something that’ll shut Scruffy down if she gets more that 20 or so feet from the group.

I maybe concerned a bit about Taimi’s choice of idolizing but she been acting like a normal kid that just don’t want to listen to adults but only smart because she is a Asura.

and its why she's by far the best (and most well written) NPC in this game. multi-dimensional and quirky, but rooted in reality.

making her a villain you must fight mear the season’s end, would thus be brilliant. most players actually like and care about her.

how twisted would it be to see her pull off some really diabolical things? now whether we actually have to kill her, or “cure” her, would be up to how dark/cruel Anet writers are.

For the most part, she’s probably the only character that is truly well developed and fleshed out. She has the most spark to her personality than any of the other Scooby gang combined.

My only concern is that at the end of the scene when you turn to talk to someone about what happened, you talk to Rox and Kasmeer…. when it should have all been to Taimi. Not saying they wouldn’t understand, but they just felt tacked on for air time, it made no sense to ignore the little asura who knows and understands far more than both these two especially when it comes to this field of expertise.

Definitely not the case. She’s asura….that machine had a huge impact on scarlet because her mind had a barrier put by the pale tree in the first place..asura didn’t have that restriction since being born….seeing the truth by someone naive who was behind a wall for all that time is very different from seeing the truth as someone who expects greater things and looks for them, like asura.

Even if somehow she looses control and turns into scarlet…..she will have something that Scarlet aparently never had (atleast at this level) and that is friends who deeply care about her. When she turns…there will be someone to fight to get her back to the way she was. The “heroes” will find a way to cure her…but i don’t see it go to the point we will have to kill her in any way.

My opinion atleast.

Scarlet went insane, but she was in the device for days.

Also, Taimi explicitly notes scarlet did bad things. She however, is somebody who looks at what Scarlet did engineering wise and notes how it can be good/ used for good(While admitting Scarlet did bad things and was evil). She already said a bit of the awe and fangirling was because Scarlet basically told the system to go away and studied what she wanted, when she wanted. That appealed to Taimi.

Taimi seems to rush into things from what I’ve seen. She has all the smarts yet forgets about the consequences, especially if it’s related to technology. Just drop the name ‘Scarlet’ and she would punch everyone aside with Scruffy to squeeze any information out of the person mentioning it :P I suppose it does fit her age if you look at humans, children tend to rush into things aswell.

^ I agree. Except I think any asuran child puts the brattiest human child to shame, probably because asuran children tend to have access to more things that explode.

Yeah I worry about this too, her Scarlet fangirling is probably her biggest weakness. I think it would seem unlikely for her to go full Scarlet on us though; more likely she will eventually do something in her blind enthusiasm that will have some kind of nasty consequences (for her or someone she respects) which will sober her up and get her to consider things with a bit more wisdom and empathy, I would think.

^ I like this idea. Although she showed very little remorse when the player character got zapped by Omadd’s machine trying to push her out of the way. Still, if she were to do something that led to another member of the Scooby Squad being seriously injured, such as Braham (since they seem pretty close), I could see her sobering a little.

Then again, I could also see her becoming even more reckless trying to make up for her mistake.

I also think it is important to note that Taimi is suffering from a degenerative disease. Part of her obsession with Scarlet and the Eternal Alchemy may come from a desire to improve her condition.

That will hardly happen, hell she has to be inside the golem to comply with age ratings of the game, as in a child cannot be put in danger.

You could talk to an Asura mother who literally carried her child out of LA, all the way to vigil keep, only to have the body taken from her and placed in a mass grave.

I personally am a fan of another theory I’ve read here on the forums. Not that Taimi will end up as an opponent, but that we’ll discover some hidden weaponry Scarlet was developing to kill Mordy and Taimi will be the only one capable of using it or adapting it since she’s followed Scarlet so closely.

At least, I’m a fan of that theory until that hidden weaponry turns LS:S2 into another Zhaitan. :/

I think when I got the PoI prior to playing the story there, I was thinking, “I should keep Taimi far away from this”, down to emoting “/no” when I was in the the story instance.
While Asurans give off a mad scientist vibe, she is a teenage girl.
Her fangirling does not have to be rational to anyone. When it comes to Asurans, it seems, when in pursuit of knowledge, she thinks there is nothing she can do wrong in it.

I noticed that too and I must admit, I am with Rox on this. Precocious children are not my favourite beings and Taimi ‘s ’cuteness’ is wearing thin for me.

I think she is a danger to herself and the team because she is still a child with a child’s lack of life skills and plain common sense. She may be bordering on genius level but she does not have much in the way of wisdom.
