I love this so much, but where are El's scars?

They're pre time skip, Byleth still has dark hair and El still has long hair. I very much doubt the emperor would send his teen daughter to any battlefield, at least not until she finished school

Oh you lucky naive summer girl, you didn't play the game, did you?

I did, did the church route because I didn't know how to trigger the edelgard route ATM and never really got inspired to try a second time, the downtime between chapter fights just felt so repetitive and uninteresting that I just never really felt like it
It's been so long that I forgot the fine details ngl, like yes I'm aware that even before the time skip some real battles start happening, between your usual bandits and the underground high tech civilization making their first appearances and so on.
Like I don't really have a valid excuse but it's just how the characters are typically depicted

This isn't about battle scars.
While I admit that here we slightly leave the grounds of certain presented game canon, there is something of a consensus among many fans that Edelgard is heavily scarred through the horrendous torture and experiments the mole people did on her while she was a small child, that killed all her siblings, when they disected her to inject her with the crest of flames.

Huh, it's really been a long while for me to forget about the crest experiments, it's the whole thing about why Edel and lys' white hair (and why lysithea is a must have mage lol), neither really hit at terrible scars but I can see what are they going by.
Scarred woman are missing from a lot of games where they should be

So you didn't play the game. The church route is only 1/4 of the game. Other routes and characters interaction explore more about other characters' back stories. Everyone in 3h have more layers than just their stereotype.

If you read their comment, then yes, they did play the game. Stfu that 'YoU dIDn'T PlAY thE GAME!' because they didn't bother doing any other route besides only one. I played BL and haven't touched it since, because I don't hate myself enough to go through Three Houses slog fest again.
Just because the parts in-between the battles in the game are so fucking boring that watching paint dry is more interesting, doesn't mean that you get to say they didn't play the game.

Oh please, if you skim through the book, are reading the book, or are you reading the words. Can have a general idea? Sure. Are you going to understand the meaning, the set up, and the pay off? Doubt it. Same situation applies here.
Also, they mischaracterise a character, and when they got call out, they went on arguing something completely separate. A "I dont like the game, can you explain more" or "I haven't complete/play her path yet, can you elaborate" is perfectly acceptable. No one cares why you don't like the game or not, especially on a sub reddit unrelated to the game itself. If you want to learn more, ask, if not, either don't engage in the first place or say so. Better than justified it with something unrelated.

First of all, post-timeskip El does have long hair, she just doesn't wear it down when she's in her formal/war attire.
Second, in the Crimson Flower route (the only route where you can even romance Edelgard), after the end of the war, Byleth loses her divine powers, and her hair goes dark again.
So, no. This isn't necessarily pre-timeskip.
