2-5, 7, 13, 14, 30, 31 and 34!

(Genshin Impact ask game)

2. Who is your favorite character?

Tartaglia. It's Tartaglia, to nobody's surprise. I don't know either, I didn't think much of him before I started playing and then he stole my heart and now he means the world to me. I got him to friendship level 6 today and spent half an hour writing the poorest excuse for an essay ever in an attempt to piece his character together from canon info only. I love him so goddamn much and he's disgustingly spoiled.

3. Your favorite party?

This is my current main team (I have a secondary team with Geo Aether, Jean and Ningguang for "utility" like puzzles and mining). Double pyro for the damage, Taru as the main DPS with Yanfei as backup when he's on cooldown or enemies are immune to hydro, Thoma for the shields, and Shinobu for healing and a bit of damage now that she's C4 and has a 4-piece Ocean-Hued Clam set (both of them for elemental reactions as well). Shinobu and Yanfei are a very good Overloaded duo, and Tartaglia can pretty much murder anything on his own but a bit of Vaporize or Electro-Charged is always welcome.

4. Which characters do you have (count all of them)?

That's all of them! So 22 total, but only about 14 that actually come from the gacha since you get a lot as quest rewards. Though interestingly enough, my Dori isn't an event reward since I'm not in Sumeru yet - I just rolled her.

Just... Don't look at their levels. It's a work in progress.

5. The character you don’t have but you want soso bad?

Zhongli, oh my god I want Zhongli so badly. He's my second favorite (I expected him to be the first but we all know what happened here) and I need his shield. For my sanity.

7. Who is your least favorite character?

For playables, I'm not huge on Mona though it's more her design - she's my "least favorite" in the sense that I like everyone else more, not that I dislike her. For NPCs I still hold the grudge of a lifetime against Keijirou for how tedious his stealth mission was.

13. Favorite enemy?

Ruin guards! I used to hate fighting them but loved their design (Castle in the Sky looking guys, how could I not?) but now that I have a built DPS I hunt them for sport and I have a blast every time. Fatui Pyro Agents are a very close second, they also have great designs and fighting styles.

14. Least favorite enemy?

So far it's still Geovishaps. My shielder isn't optimal for them, and they're just very annoying to fight - a close second is any kind of Lawachurl.

30. Something you like in general.

The music. Genshin has an incredible soundtrack, and I think for me it's part of why I enjoy the game so much. Good music really adds to a gaming experience.

31. Something you dislike in general.

The controls. They aren't bad, but there's no optimal setup - I play with a controller, which is nicer to sit back and relax while I play and also gives me better camera control, but it's not great for the instruments and most importantly it makes aiming with a bow incredibly hard. A bit of a problem when your main uses a bow... But I'm not willing to switch to keyboard for that reason alone, because for almost everything else I prefer using my controller.

34. What do you think of Paimon?

I genuinely, unironically adore Paimon. I still think it's due in part to how much nicer on the ears her voice is in the CN dub, but I also grew really fond of her. She's a dear friend to my Traveler, she cares about him so damn much and he cares about her too, and she's so endearing. If something happens to her I'll burn Teyvat to the ground.
