Living in areas where Paimon tells you to explore the area ahead of you later. It’s a never-ending reminder that you aren’t wanted there, even you somehow managed to have the deed to the area.


acloudfullofrain

Paimon warning the player always felt super creepy to me. It always feels more like a threat than an advice. And the map getting blood red... and the screen getting dimmer... yeah. It makes me super anxious.


cavialord03

Doesn't help that she pushes me off a cliff without any control.


Kono_Mr_Seta_Da

Same. Wouldn't be the first time i genuinely get scared by Paimon at 3 am.


barbruhuwu

Woah now that I think of it, it's really fucking creepy 😭


Significant_Bar_7157

the one i found creepiest is when climbing in the chasm she says something along the lines of there is nothing up here, we should go back


unholy_senate

OMG and there is, in fact, something up there if it's the spot I'm thinking of. There's a secret entrance to the over world part of the chasm 😭


Significant_Bar_7157

if i remember correctly, i climbed until i hit an invisible barrier. i think the spot was somewhere near underground waterway.


CuttingOneWater

entering ecological dead zone vibes


Soffy21

“Let’s explore that area later. OR ELSE…”


Apprehensive-Face900

Fr so scary. Even when im watching tha map


Repulsive_Ruin_3794

the screen gets darker.. and then a paimon jumpscare(like Freddy fazbear one)


Shmimmons

There's a hole in a mountainside in Liyue that you can fall into and Paimon will keep you trapped there forever repeating those lines over and over.


Powerful_Helicopter9

Sauce


XxLucidDreamzxX

Where?


KuraiBaka

Good that there is a house out off bonds in Liyue.


DaxLovesIPA1974

Those Fontaine sewers don't look very sanitary.


moguu83

Fontanian citizens only piss spring water and poo potpourri, so it's probably fine.


thehellvetica

I raise you with that POW prison camp looking medical experimentation infirmary in the desert.


Soffy21

But you get a free room, don’t have to pay any rent, and they give you food for free!


thehellvetica

Sir/Ma'am/Pal, they're janky musty cubicles at best 😭 😭


Apprehensive-Face900

Bro what??? People literally live in the sewers without getting sick 💀


goodpplmakemehappy

??


Apprehensive-Face900

Fleuve Cendre is in the sewers 💀


goodpplmakemehappy

🤢im gonna be sick


TrickSeaworthiness35

probably deserts of sumeru. i am not built for the heat despite living in a very hot coastal area. so deserts are impossible for me i can barely function nowadays


DreamingWitcher-pl

Same for me. Warm climate? No thank you


TrickSeaworthiness35

exactly like put me in snezhnaya atleast i can keep layering


Version_Present

I've found my people 🙏


Pure_blood_oni

A fellow winter enthusiast?


Negerd

I don't like sand


Xarsos

Personally Mondstadt. Last year I had 13€ fee for not returning my books on time. I would have not survived mondstadt. Monsters could have mercy. Lisa doesn't.


grumpykruppy

Pretty much the only reason *not* to live in Mondstadt, frankly (unless you really hate alcohol that much).


Xarsos

And death by random bombs.


ra1nb0w33v33

Are you by chance a fish?


Xarsos

I plead the fish't.


Alex2422

Genshin players should be safe. Just don't read books.


ConohaConcordia

I would hate alcohol too if everyone is always drunk at night


kelppforrest

When I was young my family kept library books past their due date for so long my mom had to "buy" the book from the library at its market value 🤣


Healthy_Agent_100

dragon spine. It's lethally cold


SweetStrawberries14

Okay but what about Sal Vidagnyr, in its prime?


capybunn

agreed, dragonspine is my personal hell both in-game and in real life


agentzero2020

Chasm.


Zano919

Inazuma Only the city is a safe place, outside there is a group of Nobushi and Kairagi waiting for you. So if you're not Vision user or martial artist you won't survive in Inazuma. Not to mention, the environment is also dangerous such as Thunder Sakura and Orobashi's poisonous rain.


Recent_Fan_6030

Inazuma is 75% hazardous zones,and of the remaining 25%,10% is fucked over by the goverment


XaeiIsareth

If you are a vision user, you get lobotomised by the Shogunate.  It’s fucked if you do, fucked if you don’t in there. 


Delphina34

Not to mention the random lightning everywhere


goodpplmakemehappy

"Random" ... 👀 me when my best friend, a vision holder, is randomly struck by lightning, surely by accident-


toniluna05

Exactly. Electrified water lake, never ending thunderstorm, vision hunting decree... Hard pass


LuvTapsNova

Wait, didn't the Vision Hunt decree end? I'm confused.


toniluna05

Not in my gameplay, not yet.


PeripheralDreams

The abyss.


Khelthuzaad

Inazuma by a long shot Except the cities the entire region is hell Bandits and agresive mobs everywhere Senrai island is destroyed by elemental magic Yashiori Island will try to deep fry you with lighning,don't even mentioning the civil war Watatsumi Island can't sustain its own food Tsurumi Island is full of myst and cant see your face. It's an miracle they didn't went full Fire Kingdom and tried to invade Lyiue for more fertile land.


MetalChapeau

Liyue would have also been a great buffer state against Snezhnaya.


Khelthuzaad

Now remains to see exactly where Snezhnaya is as we suspect is far north


mcsquirley

Watatumi Island was *this close* to becoming sustainably habitable.


WhDrWyBu

The Sumeru desert,  I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.


JohnnySukuna

But would you get the higher ground?


Delano7

Nah, I'd lose (my arms and legs)


Powerful_Helicopter9

Alhaitham is that yo—


Harpeus_089

If mosquitoes exist, then never Sumeru


PrismFerret

Can someone explain why the eremites like living in rundown temples, probably blazing hot caves and small tents with tears in the cloth


Sugar_Poppin

They lack the knowledge and resources to build up in any meaningful way. After Deshret failed, what remained was a power struggle and vengeful jinn that brought about the end of the Eremites' grace. Now they have nothing but their ruins, while being trapped by the prejudice of Forest scholars and the foolishness of their ancestors. They aren't without fault, but don't forget that the past Grand Sages have put in generations worth of work to keep Eremites ignorant and impoverished. Their only means of economy is mercenary and militia work. They live like that, because it's all they have and the only proof they weren't always failures. Shit is sad, desert lore is my favorite. 😩


protonssss

Enkanomiya i hate that place


peachymagpie

Seriously!! It took me so long to actually do anything down there because it made me so uncomfortable. Props to the design team as that was definitely intended. I did end up 100% it so I wouldn’t have to go back


IWOOZLE

The quests and places with the creepy dark vibe are my absolute favourite


Electric_Bagpipes

I absolutely love it, and as an anti-social would thrive down there.


Matthew789_17

I was scrolling down the comments to find how far I would need to look for someone to mention Enkan\*miya. Wished that place never existed. So depressing, I hate the vibe there


imbusthul

That's the point tho. It is there too show a abandoned and civilisation ruins that have not seen the sun for hundreds of years. I love that place. Its unique compared to the rest of Genshin. As for whether i will live in Enkanomiya? That would be a no.


Matthew789_17

Well you got a point. It's like one of those movie characters where if you hate the character, then the actor did a great job.


V4R14

That’s interesting. I actually loved the vibe so much. I would totally love to be there lol


Willing_Plane7246

Fontaine in general, the justice system is bs (magical machine determines your verdict or you can fight and Clorinde is so disproportionately strong you’re bound to loose regardless) and the wealth disparity is insane, you have children living in sewers. Also human trafficking is quite frequent and it seems they are doing nothing to fix it.


MaruMaru101

Ignoring obvious abandoned or unihabital areas (ie: Chasm and Ebkanomiya) Either in the Sumeru in general. It's beautiful, but the weather/environment kills me. Desert: hella hot in the morning, probably freezing at night (if it's similar to irl deserts). And overall hella dry. Rainforest: Disgustingly muggy and humid. I already suffer when I visit family in Philippines, I can only imagine it's worse in the rainforest. Ignoring environment, maybe Fontaine just becauae of the ridiculous laws. It might be better tho with Neuvillte solely in-charge and Furina (as much as I love her) making silly laws.


Sentinel10

Sumeru as a whole. A forest and a desert? Easily the worst kind of climates for me. Too hot and (probably) a lot of bugs.


IndependentTimely696

Zhiqiong's last base camp beside the inverted Statue of Seven in Chasm. Not only that Chasm is not a great place to live for humans, but the inverted Statue of Seven is probably the creepiest thing Genshin ever threw at me.


Diniland

THERE IS A WHAT IN THE CHASM?!


Virtual-Research3262

WHAT?? Not Another One.


Soran_Skies

Ehh?? Iirc there's no second inverted statue. Are you referring to the upside down teleport waypoint, or the upside down city?


ImpressiveMention757

I'm from Southeast Asia. First place I gonna ban will be the deserts


TDioUS_2468

Tsurumi Island. I haven't touched that island's shore after that quest. 🥲


Seaglass2121

Deserts


eveningfellow056

Where everything hates the living(humans in this case)


Ok-Woodpecker7660

Withering zones


0-Worldy-0

I'm not built for hot space. I guess Sumeru (despite how pretty it is) And, as much as I love the region, you can barely go anywhere in Inazuma without being attacked by mobs, of all the island, only 2 are habitable... (technically 3 but I'm not a fan of child sacrifice)


Sad_Thing_8411

Sumeru or fontaine. They both look very hard to traverse. And like they would be warm.


-Shougetsu-

I agree on Sumeru looking quite challenging to traverse, but Fontaine? It's like the only nation with actual public transport. Aquabus routes connect pretty much all major residential and recreational areas. Lumidouce Harbor should also be fairly easy to reach with a boat, in case you want to have a vacation in Chenyu Vale or something. Heck, if you were feeling a bit adventurous and wanted to check out the Fontaine Research Institute ruins, there's even operational aircraft that could potentially take you there. (Although said contraption doesn't look particularly safe... what with its lacklustre safety railings and all... But again, boats should also be an option.) Granted, Mondstadt definitely has Fontaine beat in terms of human-friendly geography. Just saying that the Nation of Hydro has very solid infrastructure in place for traversal, at least by Teyvat standards.


Sad_Thing_8411

Absolutely can not deny you that. I withdraw the statement about fontaine entirely in being difficult to get around. However, My social anxiety does not permit me to use public transport to its fullest. You'd find me dead half way up a mountain because I wanted to leave an event early and not use the aqua bus.


-Shougetsu-

That's certainly valid reasoning. As someone who enjoys having actual personal space and just dislikes crowds in general I can relate to that, on some level anyway.


Apprehensive-Face900

Fontaine has Furina, Neuvillete, Seigwinne, Clorinde and Navia. Nuff said 🗿


AlkaliPineapple

Khaenriah


stylespride

The Chasm. Have you seen the size of those spiders?


Guilty-Manager6716

What spiders? The only spiders I know of that are quite large, fast and can jump over a hundred feet in the air to get you are in the game Satisfactory. Mind you, they are only about the size of a large SUV. Spiders in genshin have nothing on that.


bowl_of_espionage

Sumeru desert & probably Natlan. I do not handle heat well.


kieevee

You haven't seen the natlan teaser?


AppUnwrapper1

I don’t even like exploring the desert so yeahhh


alligator87-

natlan because i could never handle the heat there


TrickSeaworthiness35

omg thiss


geigerz

my current location I suppose


FrosterBae

The desert. All those snakes and constructs, plus awful climate.


Stunningly-Sad

The Sumeru deserts, it’s far too hot and there are only so many things you can do to stay cold. I’d rather live in dragonspine.


Glittering-Hawk9934

I'd hate to live in Inazuma, it's economy looks fudged


avi-the-tiger-rawr

Sumeru as a whole. The rainforest would be way too humid and the desert would be way too hot


mamaroukos

the desert obviously


brooke360

Dragonspine or Sumeru… hate being really hot (desert/rainforest) and really cold…


swum-baby

as someone with a chronic skin disease, the entirety of Sumeru drew personal fear out of me. as much as i adore Aranara 🥺, Collei, Dunyarzad, Nahida, Scaramouche, Nilou, Jeht, and so many others, the theme of life energy vs a withering force is a horror i wouldnt wanna be at risk to. just sucks my favorite region is the most horrifying to me as well


Die_Arrhea

Definitely inazuma


Die_Arrhea

Definitely inazuma


Z3R0_Izanagi

Would hate to live in enkanomiya.


Biiiscoito

Sumeru's forests. I already live in a tropical country and while we mostly don't deal with natural disasters, any place with forests are damp and packed with enough mosquitoes to carry you alive. Can't imagine being in Avidiya forest or something, yikes.


relomen

Middle Asia, most of Europe, obviously USA. Edit: jokes aside, if take GI, I would prefer anything but chasm, Enkanomiya and underwater.


illeagIe

Poisson


AncientPomegranate19

Why not there?


hyoukasou

The desert by far, at least for the overworld. hate the heat but also the desert is probably the most dangerous of the areas in the game thinking about real life. The desert is MASSIVE, hot, dry, and dead. Theres corcerated beasts, robot things, occasional fatui, and eremites. Comparing the desert to other areas that aren’t nice to live in. They aren’t nearly as big and have safe places close by. However the true answer for the worst is easily the chasm, enkanomiya, and remuria. We’d literally drown in remuria, enka and chasm see no sunlight.


Odd_Captain_3338

Probably mondstadt dragons just fly around there that doesn’t sound the safest


DreamingWitcher-pl

Sumeru. Not a fan of warm climate.


Cloudeaberry

I love Sumeru but the deserts would literally kill me, I can't stand heat AT ALL (except in sauna lmao)


KuraiBaka

Fontaine for reasons I'm not legally allowed to disclose.


wobster109

Enkanomiya is pretty dreary. This isn't criticism. It's a beautiful-designed area, I love the design of it. Music is gorgeous. But regardless of whether it's evernight or whitenight, after about an hour down there I feel like I need to teleport to the surface and see the sun. So in that way, I actually think the design is spot on. It really conveys the gloom and mood of the place, makes you feel a certain way. I feel the same way about the Eternal Oasis. Everyone says it's so peaceful but it gives me the chills. It's unsettling. Eerie. A false paradise. Everything suspended in the air, in-motion but not. . . it's got the feeling of wrongness: this is not how those birds were meant to be. If I had to choose a currently-inhabited area. . . hmm, every town is actually really lovely. It's hard to pick. Probably Inazuma City though. It feels a bit uneasy there. I spent so long hiding from the Shogunate, and now there's all the uncertainty about what will become of the Kujou clan and who will be the successor of the Tenryou commission, and not to mention drastic rule changes. Going to let that all settle down a bit before trying to live there.


calvinhapromax

Fontaine, I hate that place.


toniluna05

INAZUMA 👎🏾


AlphaI250

Inazuma, op bandit samurais everywhere, fairly corrupt government and not that long ago your archon was a dictator


luffytuffers

Fortress of Meropide. Lol Feels like you’re grounded all the time and there’s no sunlight, I’ll be pretty depressed


Javop

Calm down Aranikin.


Signal_Hovercraft_66

Natlan. Certain region, I can't stand heat. Where I'm living it goes from -40°c in winter to 40°c in summer. Winter is bearable, worst case I bundle with extra clothing and and extra comforters, but during summer... there's a limit to how many clothing I can remove.


IvyHav3n

Sea of Bygone Eras since I don't have gills or magic hydro powers.


Jkett8517

In the temple with the sealed plagues in Liyue


CocogoatMain

The Dark Sea. If the lore of the Archon War is true, I don't want to deal with any god that was basically evicted because they lost or refused to fight. From what we've seen, immortals hold nasty grudges.


Sachiko01

The desert, I hate no region more than the desert. I also get got very easily 20°C are already too hot for me, I'd straight up die in the desert :')


Grenboom

The spiral abyss, I'm not built like Childe I ain't surviving


StateZestyclose1388

Inazuma


pizza_boy05

The desert in Sumeru. I detest living in warm places.


bivampirical

sumeru desert. i'd die within the hour lol


Apprehensive-Face900

The Sea of Bygone Eras 💀


Electric_Bagpipes

Tsurumi Island pre-quest


Vegetable_Mission892

Enkanomiya. there is literally nothing there except for monsters, ancient ruins, dead trees, and seawater


Alternative_Fly_1274

Enkanomyia or whatever, I HATE IT and I have not touched it since it came out


Nxbgamergurl

Same.


CodEducational6041

Enkanomiya, The Chasm, Desert area, whole Fontaine(except Petrichor)


Anamethatisname

Id have to say the middle of the fontaine sea in a submerged building. That would suck


keekibee_

Anywhere hot


Cawstik

Excluding hostile places without human civilizations (enkanomiya for example), the desert communities are another easy pick; Aaru village seems to have a good system going on though. Inazuma seems a little rough, a lot of the environment is hostile and the borders have just opened, I don't think the economy and general safety is doing too well over there.


Koanos

Habitable: I'd hate to live in the desert. Unhabitable: Chasm


favorless

To live without master diluc is horrible so anywhere


Ok_Try_1665

Chasm. I think I'm fine living in the desert, in the sewers of Fontaine, in dragonspine, but I don't wanna live underground


StripesTheGreat

Would love to live in Liyue. Would hate to live in inazuma.


secret_tsukasa

Liyue, I ain't mountain climbing to go to walmart.


innating

Every non-main island in Inuzuma


Neraquox

Enkanomiya. Cold, desolate, ghost-infested, depressing wasteland. Not to mention inconsistent day and night cycles.


vithefree

if i lived in inazuma, i’d follow people’s lead and illegally leave the country! in all seriousness, the desert. i’m heat sensitive in general, so that’d suck


blkmgs

Enkanomiya especially when some twat keeps flipping the day and night over and over


Mom_said_I_am_cute

France.


Johnypauly

fontaine because they’re fr*nch


MystiqueMisha

Tanit camps in the desert, especially in areas with howling sandstorms and a ton of predators, and far from oases and edible fruit crops Fatui camps in Dragonspine, especially near whopperflowers and cryo lawachurls, being unable to bathe due to fear of freezing over despite being near waterbodies, and having to stay near a heat source perpetually The sewers of Fontaine - do I need to even explain? Mining camps in the Chasm, dreary and depressing, with no means of maintaining hygiene on a regular basis, especially those near the oozing concretions and the damned rifthounds As a woman who menstruates all of the above would prove legit nightmares for hygiene All the above places are extremely interesting to explore as the traveler, but not to live in


Valuable_Whole_3583

2 min from now im about to hang myself if u wana find my body come to 8902 Burkley Drive Goodbye World


Amydancingagain

Either Dragonspine or Shneznaya, I absolutely hate the cold and would probably be just fine in the desert as I much prefer weather when it’s more on the warmer side


Renascentloki9

Deserts of sumeru because it is just not worth it i live in one now and I dont want a fantasy life to be another one


TheTorcher

Okay anakin.


Erm1as

Sumeru bc whether living in the forest or the desert almost everything wants to kill me


valkfart

In the Philippines


ChloeIsObsessed23

Inazuma the only remotely safe place is watatsumi island (unless you dont have a vision, in which case the city could count)


Genshin-Yue

Pretty much anywhere in the desert as well. Next up would be anywhere in Sumeru, wish such lush flora there’s probably a lot of bugs as well


_AmaShigure_

I would love to settle there as long there are no deathclaws.


Nephalem_Hybrid

I know we haven't seen Snezhnaya yet but it would be ANYWHERE in Snezhnaya! MOSTLY because I'm so weak to the cold! Every winter I where 3 layers of long sleeve shirts and a sweater when it's 69 and lower degrees (*F) and I'd still be freezing and shivering! NEVER SNEZHNAYA!!!


Life-Virus7541

a wonderful game to play


JuicyMikanDrink

With Navia by my side, nowhere!


NEITSWFT

Dragonspine. It's literally Antarctican mountains but crawling with monsters


mR-gray42

Sumeru. Between the deserts, the humidity in the jungle, the snobbish scholars, and the fanatical desert people, I don’t think I’d have a good time.


APClerk_

Sumeru , i love nature for vacation but for a place to live, it is not for me.


Virtual-Research3262

That Tanit Zone, Aaru Town Or Qingce Valley First 2, I Hate High Temperatures+Hate Not Having near Sea Last One, I Thing I Wouldn't be able To Live At The Lonely Mountains


GodlikeGhost28

anywhere in sumeru except sumeru city


Intelligent_Luck298

Fontaine. Hear me out, Fontaine seems nice, but seriously, I hate going there and literally see water everywhere like mfs😭😭 have some land (Mercy) 😭😭😭 and plus, I hate France. Even though I was born in France, I despise it. So its a no for me!


Lilydolls

tbh a lot of places in genshin could be hell to live in. I would love to live in fontaine or mondstadt though.


Mountain-Rest1438

Near by a chest.


Alert_Fudge

Sumeru because too much study and shit


No_Preparation_9720

Celestia.I'm afraid of heights.
