8. The main characters are not teenagers and have canonical names. Genshin Impact – 11 details you might have missed

Table of Contents

The protagonists of Genshin Impact are a pair of twins. When we start our adventure with this game, we have to indicate which of them we shall play as and choose their name. All the characters we meet in the game world will address us using it, or using the generic "traveler." However, this does not mean that the twins do not have their own canonical names. In fact, the boy's name is Aether and the girl's name is Lumine.

In addition, the siblings have slightly different constellations and different attack animations. Their clothes change appearance to match the element they are currently using. During the game, we also discover that the pair of main characters are from an ancient nation, and on top of that, they are about 500 years old... Which stands in perfect contrast to their appearance and the fact that they are treated like minors by everyone around them.

9. The login screen changes with time

You've probably noticed that whenever you log into Genshin Impact, the main screen is different. Unless you login at the same time of the day. Developers included a small, but very nice detail. The landscape on the said screen changes depending on the time in the A ether device we are playing on. It will adjust to the time of day and display an appropriate background. There are four variations: dawn, morning, day/evening, and night.

10. Play around with the sound settings

Genshin Impact also includes a pretty rich achievement system. It's worth doing challenges to receive various currencies, including the one you'll use for the gacha system. One achievement deserves special attention. To get it, you have to go into the settings and play with the dialog volume. Set the value to maximum, and after a short while to the minimum – repeat that a few times. Eventually, Paimon, who accompanies us during the game, will notice our behavior. It will turn out that she was talking to the player the whole time. Irritated, she will offer the said achievement and a small reward.

11. Attack an NPC to receive applause

Barbara is one of the playable characters in Genshin Impact who has a special role in the game world – she is an idol. You might want to think about her as a sort of celebrity in the world of the game. What's so special about it?

Well, when we set Barbara as the main character and attack someone in the city of Mondstadt, our misdeed will be rewarded with applause. That's because it's a healing character, and on top of that, she basically attacks with music. So, in the city there's apparently no shortage of fans who appreciate her artistry – even when they are the victim of it.
