Whether you’re a novice or a veteran Genshin Impact player, there are always characters that you appreciate for their personality, story, and design, but never truly immerse yourself in playing. As a recent post by Ok_Expression_3805 has ignited a flurry of thoughts, stories and even recommendations from the player communityabout characters that they like but would not play.
Summary
- The character, Dehya, bagged a significant number of votes despite her skill set’s restriction to water-based terrains, speaking volumes about her compelling storyline and design.
- Not new characters like Candace and Albedo garnered attention with their immersive backstories and design, despite their unappealing gameplay.
- Interestingly, the protagonist, Traveler, found himself in this list, highlighting the game’s diverse character pool that keeps players hooked.
Unplayed Yet Appreciated
Several players’ responses were threaded with similar sentiments of admiration for various characters, but they wouldn’t pick them in a game. Candid reflections came from players like LivingASlothsLife, who detailed their thoughts around why they wouldn’t choose to play as Dehya despite being one of their favorite characters. The same character is again referred to by 1XXL1 who even admits that Dehya has the most appalling character quality to gameplay quality ratio.
Fan-favorite Characters
An intriguing takeaway is that not new characters have managed to attract an audience. For example, Candace has earned Prestigious_Split579’s interest, who admires her design and backstory, but regrettably wouldn’t play her in the game. Similarly, False_Baby8628, a new player, mentions Albedo, characterizing the woes of missing out on powerful weaponry for chosen characters.
Design and Story: Not Enough For Gameplay
Interestingly, some of the game’s major characters like HuTao and Cyno appear in players’ responses, crocundies respectively who adore these characters, but they can’t bring themselves to play them. This shows that even though character backstories and designs play a significant role in making a character favorite, they do not necessarily influence gameplay decisions.
For some Genshin Impact players, catching ’em all Pokemon style isn’t always the path of choice. Sometimes it’s the path of admiration from the sidelines as players discover their bonds with these characters from the bench. So, who’s your favorite character in Genshin Impact that stays warming the bench?
