Do you honestly think this is fine? It means the devs simply don’t want to dig deeper into his character. Why put effort into someone who isn’t profitable for them?

When pantalone talks i can believe that he has a job

real. hot take but childe suddenly being so buddy with the traveler was rushed. I GET his character is respecting the strong and he’s a pure nice guy but it’s still a little too rushed imo. arle too

Honestly it’s weird how the “evil” characters are the ones that feel like actual characters. Because they’re allowed to have conflicting ideals and emotions that make sense

Feels like he was written by differrent person than the rest of the current harbinger tbh. The storytelling style is just different

I like that he's very ingrained in his job. It keeps him very grounded, and he stays in that position most of the time so he's easily digestible and consistent.

Ahhh like- Pantalone acts like a person with opinions while everyone acts like they're just going through with the script?

Yes, but Sandrone is the biggest auntie that adores to hate on her colleagues Her trash talking Dottore and Pantalone feels so fucking real

I don’t feel anything towards him at first but gradually I start to intensely like him. It does feel like he’s there for less of a plot point & more of ‘I just happen to be here.’ I love morally dubious characters in genshin; they dont usually feel Convenient, but human

tbh the rest of the fatui blaming it all on dottore while he can not defend himself is probably the most human like behavior you will find in the game lol

The way he spoke in the Veche scene really reminded me of some IRL politicians who are obsessed with the image of "being good at debating" so think it does

Pantalone is as if a regular person got transported into a story with a y/n.

That's where commedia dell'arte comes in. It was a classic there to use "stock character" who are tropes/caricatures or in other words masks, and sometimes characters "outgrew" their masks Fatui are basically actors/stock characters playing the tropey roles they need to

Единственный, кому не выдали сценарий

This is why I want him and the Rooster to NOT BE PLAYABLE If they made this characters playable, they’ll eventually have to go thru the process of befriending the Traveller

Can u explain a bit what u mean by acting like a story character?

Because he's not going to be playable, you can see the same behaviour with npcs, it's why so many quests utilize npcs to enhance the interactions

A story characteriz acts like a story character? Color me surprised

idgaf abt him unfortunately but objectively he's like the best harbinger rn cause at least he's not a hypocrite

Yes, they're in a story

Oh my god youre so right

Those y/n stories...
