Seems like even the Pixies had a darker plot to their quests, and they involved a literal candyland.
This is actually dark AF. In most iterations of storytelling, such sugary utopias are actually lure traps for children. The Pixies are not benign creatures.

I haven't started up the Omicron questline yet, but I have a little difficulty with Ultima Thule in general as it is a zone at the edge of the existence that ripped my heart out of my chest; that we can still just go to, so... cafe. Obviously.

Relics for me anymore are about experiencing the story involved with the questline. Tying this one the Hildbrand is kind of a bummer because I liked saving Hildy quests for rainy days during content draught, so now if I want to experience the questline this go, I will also knock out Hildy simultaneously. It's not that bad, but still a bit of a let down.
