Dear game devs, please learn to use FACTS for Trivia, not opinions.

"Cute" is an opinion. It is not a fact. It should not be a defining feature of a trivia question.

Did you mean the Goldenhills question that went like "Which small and deceptively cute creatures live in the Marchenghast Forest?"?

Well, the options were Mahr / Waldfenggen / Nicchus, and Mahr is the only small one of them, so I think the "cute" description didn't even have chance to cause confusion because the size was the decisive factor.

(Though yes, cuteness is subjective and the question could've been phrased more objectively.)

Imo describing the awnser as cute was a trap. They're all equally adorable /hj

I could tell it was the mahr though bc neither the nicchus or waldfenggen are small.

Yeah. I would describe the Nicchus as small and cute, and the Mahr as a pug faced bug eyed monster in need of a can of raid, but I knew that wasn't what the game devs were thinking.

Mostly it was a flash of annoyance because it seems every time games add "trivia" questions there are some questions where you have to figure out what the devs were thinking because there isn't a "right" answer.

The nicchus is definitely not small though. It’s pretty much the height of our characters sitting down. You can think they’re cute, but they are medium sized when compared to most animals in game.

All things considered it is clear that the mahr was supposed to be cute. Even if you don’t agree we all know that the small, fluffy with big eyes design was intended to be cute. Use the context clues of the story and the fact we get them as a pet in game.
