Genshin Impact feels like it was made to be an open world game with a single playable character in mind but somehow had gacha shoved into it's gullet.

It also feels weird when a character that has been in your party since you started the game act like they never were, Amber.
From what I have played so far is that MC is the BEST character in the game. Hands down.
I rarely use anyone else.
You'll pretty much only keep Amber and Lisa in your group cause Thunder element is REALY GOOD and Amber has range.
Let's talk about MC again.
MC gets WIND at the start of the game, which sounds like a total bummer UNTIL YOU FIND OUT that your E and Q move can ABSORB ELEMENTS and BECOME THAT ELEMENT WHEN CASTING
If the element is nearby or the enemy has an element effect on them

[Cont...]
If you are near an campfire, fire slime, burning weapons and shields, fire mage, BURNING GRASS
Boom. Fire damage.

Near a body of water, water slime, water mage, CLOTHES A LITTLE DAMP?
BOOM. water damage.

DID A FROST SLIME SNEEZE AND THERES ICE IN THE AIR
BOOM
FROST
DAMAGE
It's also great when the E and Q moves are so satisfying to use.

ESPECIALLY E BECAUSE IT COOLS DOWN SO FAST
E can vacuume enemies in to a multi hit attack and ends with an burst
While Q can summon a TORNADO and whisk all small enemies away while also dealing damage
All the cool stuff Genshin Impact does sometimes makes me forget how terrible of an inclusion Paimon is.
She adds nothing.
She's just a devices for the silent Protag to speak with out speaking.
Not unlike what Paper Mario has done for the last 3 games
It also doesnt help that she speaks in the 3rd person all the time.

She works well as a mascot character for the game and I can see her being used for other mechanics in the game; she should've stayed a mascot character, tho
Or atleast reworked her introduction.
You just fish her out of the ocean and then you're just friends.
NOTHING ELSE IS SAID TO DISCRIBE WHO SHE IS.
I've just realized I've been ranting this thread for an hour and should really stop
So last post

It's free.
And for what it's worth, holy fuck is it fun and enjoyable.

If you wanna play with friends tho don't bother.
It's really restrictive to what you and your friend can do.
