Thread: "Time Skip" for 4.5 or 5.0?

I might remember it wrong but wasnt that quote more a text bubble when you got near him at one part of the story line? I just kinda remember that I found that always a bit bad for a reason because an eye less is less sight. But would not 100% be sure if it was there.

Edit:

Some new brain stormed idea.

What if there is no time traveling or dimension traveling at all (kinda hard to imagine after they said that there is a reason why they were not showing more of the new maps for shadowbringers) but we simply remember the words from Arbert and try to stop a calamity after we tipped over the balance in that battle against Garlemald in 4.5 (or the dungeon). Since the first shard was not destroyed right away and still had enough time left so that the WoD came to our world and done their things there, maybe we just see the first signs of a flood of light like some of these light creatures appearing everywhere (Thancred who is awake is then fighting against one of them) and we try to stop this by giving the world the balance back in form of a WoD.

Arberts words (if its him) about "history must be unwritten" could simply be a poetic way of saying "dont let what happen to us, happen to your world". This way we would not need some kind of time travel. It could also be that we are getting echo visions of the first shard, how their world looked like and then either understand the consequences or even believe that we just saw a glimpse of the future?

I still dont think that we would get a time skip. The one from 1.0 to 2.0 had the WoLs be left in a time chamber to wait for their return thus any kind of sudden time skip would need to explain what our character has been doing in that time because it would be utterly strange to log in one day and suddenly years have passed. Because then our character would have done things alone and not because we controlled them. That would be imo quite a huge thing in terms of playing our own character. And even if they make us fall into some other dimension thus we are taken out of the time skip itself, they still would have the problem with old quests and having a whole world that is different depending on when you are in the story. People would change over the years but if you do old quests then they are suddenly young again. I know that they have explained that each quest has a certain place in time thus we have already done them at that point even if we are doing it later but still that would feel so bad for me.
