Scaramouche was retconned out of the story

I don't see many people talking about it but it bothers me that Scara was absolutely removed out of the archon quest and the "saving Durin" plotline.

During Simulanka at 4.8, Albedo said Scara would help the real Durin. Not only help, he said Scara was important to save the real Durin, even.

But when we get to the actual quest, it's like the writers were even afraid to mention him. Like, the first thing I thought was why Scara wasn't with Mini Durin. It's super weird and I can't help but feel they purposefully retconned him out of Durin's story.

Another fact that doesn't help is that I knew this would happen from the beginning, due to CN rumors that the incels were mad (again) at Scara at 4.8, and of course hoyo would listen to them. Rumors say that he would have a few lines in the AQ, but got removed.

I feel sad because this makes me believe that any endgame relevance that Scara would have is not gonna happen anymore. If the writers wanted to remove even an small influence like this, who's to say he won't be relevant altogether? I can already tell the Traveler won't even ask Scara about the harbingers before going to Snezhnaya. The swordsmiths plotline? May as well not exist.

Sorry for being negative and doomposty but I was really hopeful this wouldn't happen to him. I know that most CN Scara fans already gave up Genshin, and what matters is the character himself, not the game. But a naive part of me was still hopeful.

We can only hope Scara will be relevant when Durin becomes playable. If they remove Durin's connection to Scara I'll be even more baffled.
