gallagher just isnt my vibe. i guess some people like the older guy bartender vibe but its really not for me. like if siobhan was playable and he was the npc i would prefer it a lot more. penacony just wasnt really my thing anyway (and the fact 2.6 was a penacony patch considering how much stuff happened in 2.5... smh). ruan mei i like a lot more since of her involvement with fugue/tingyun who ive always liked, herta i've always liked but especially now with her cool new form and hopefully more plot relevance im very excited. yanqing in 2.5 was also pretty cool! now we've actually seen him do something more monumental it makes me like him more, before it felt like they just told us he was a prodigy without showing us. and as for acheron, she's cool but i dont have a lot to say about her. i also feel like her writing is a bit all over the place? she's not laid back like black swan but her dialogue is very like informal/casual? i do like her (and would love to see her interact with jiaoqiu) but i feel like she just needs more time to get fleshed out. i would love to see a cq for her!
