In this story, there\u2019s a scene where players are able to give a name to a character called the Wanderer. While the Wanderer has appeared numerous times throughout the story, they are a character that has been shrouded in mystery. The scene has become a hot topic because players get to name such an important character just about whatever they want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Players are free to change the Wanderer\u2019s name as long as it falls within the set character limit. However, the names of other <em>Genshin Impact <\/em>characters and the name of the Traveler (the protagonist) are off limits, with the Wanderer refusing to be called by them. Since just about any other name can be used, players have been having a field day coming up with interesting choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Japan, players are using names like \u201cEmergency Food 2\u201d in reference to the Paimon Emergency Food meme, \u201cChiikawa\u201d from the anime\/manga of the same name, and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/pump1145141919\/status\/1600372443386089478\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Doppo Orochi<\/a> in reference to a character from the anime and manga <em>Baki the Grappler<\/em>.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I can&#39;t decide, give me a good name for him <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/cHITVIqw5Q\">pic.twitter.com\/cHITVIqw5Q<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Gacha Zone (@Gacha_Zone) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Gacha_Zone\/status\/1600695570225856512?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 8, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>As for English speaking players, some can be seen coming up with serious names befitting of the Wanderer, while others go in a less serious direction with names like \u201cShrek.\u201d No matter the region or language, <em>Genshin Impact<\/em> fans on Twitter have been having a great time naming and sharing their names for the Wanderer. But there\u2019s a limit to how many times it can be changed, so it\u2019s probably best to think long and hard before deciding. If you get too silly, you might spoil the atmosphere of future story scenes.<br><br><br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:12px\"><em>Written by.
