Panam is an insanely ~~well written~~ hot character.
RiwetV
Because she got a GREAT ASS. …sorry I’ve just watched HEAT.
Red_Worldview
FUCKING LOL XD
Written by the same guy who made Ciri in W3, and is an equally childish, angsty teenager.

That tank sesh got me hot ngl
bartolomeudebraganca
She’s a bit kinky with the tank stuff.
rivka000
Yeah…no. With judy it’s one of the worsr characters. Childish, whiny and they think the world revolves around them.
Racing_Nowhere
I feel like she wasn’t that well written. She was always whining like a child, yet wanted to be a leader. Then, with the “impulses” thing, she didn’t show herself to be that impulsive up until that point. She was very intentional about not hooking up in the cabin, then all of a sudden said she can’t control her impulses?
TitanThree
No, she isn’t particularly well-written, you just think she’s hot. Touch grass
BombasticSloth
I gotta be honest, and I’ve never really seen anyone point this out…
I love Panam, and went for this ending for my first playthrough…
But holy fuck she has BY FAR the worst dialogue in this game. So fucking corny that it kept completely taking me out of the game during the final act.
Idk if I’m really alone in this but it was just so cringey it kept making me laugh 💀

Can we all agree that V gets to live his life with Paman, and that he lives longer than 6 months
Lisshopops
Lol not really but we all know the story you really liked from her questline 😆
IceColdCocaCola545
Well written? She does nothing but get angry towards people she doesn’t agree with. She’s got the personality traits of an angsty teenager, not a 30 year old woman. Though, her anger is sometimes justified. Being mad at Saul because he’s gonna get the Aldecaldos murdered or used by the Corps makes sense.
It just feels like the only emotion she conveys outside of “Being friend/lover to the main character” is anger.
throwawayaccount_usu
I never romance women in these games. I was set on kerry before I even met him but as soon as I met panam I just had to romance her lol. She is soooo genuinely human.
life_lagom
I really wish I couldve romance as fem V
tuskish
Yeah, well written for sure. Well written at being unlikable af. Seriously she’s so fucking impulsive and gets all uppity anytime you don’t do exactly what she wants in the game. Judy will forever and always be my main squeeze as #1 homie.
TheRealestCapta1n
the only part I didn’t like about her was killing that AV pilot, he wasn’t some evil corporate goon, he was an average Joe working his 9 to 5
Dambo_Unchained
I love Panam just as much as the next guy but the “reclusive and emotionally distant person who learns to open up again after experiencing true love” is not really reinventing the wheel mate
Suki-UwUki
Yeah she’s insanely fuckin annoying. Can’t stand being around her. This V only needs Johnny smh.
DontBeADramaLlama
Really? I felt like she had such a weird and stilted way of speaking. Never using contractions. She felt very…written. Like I could see the actor reading the lines from a page. It didn’t feel organic at all. Not knocking the actor, I just don’t think she was well written. It seemed surprising, because every single other character felt very natural.
LightFromYT
Her dialogue in the >!suicide!< ending broke me. I lost my best friend the same way and spent a lot of months angry like Panam was but deep down I felt like Judy does with that ending.
That writing particularly really nailed the “I’m so fucking broken and depressed but I’ll pretend it’s anger” emotion.
Edit: accidentally did the discord spoiler tag instead of the reddit spoiler tag lol
Imperial_Bouncer
And even better modeled character!
Superderped
To haboobs!
Unhappy-ButPeriod
Just because Panam has character traits that you, don’t like doesn’t mean that she’s not well-written. Some of these comments are proving that.
DSJ-Psyduck
Why? I found her rather annoying.
Dont really enjoy any of the love interests….Johnny and goro i would consider the best written in the game.
BlackFerro
Panam has one mode: Rebellion. She has little nuance.
AccomplishedWonder1
Obligatory in my part but…….thank you again, Emily Woo Zeller!!!
Om4rLittle
Agree
EvilSavant30
Shes so fkin annoying! I feel like I’m the only one who feels this way
UnhappyStrain
I want a sequel years later in the setting with another protagonist, where this is the cannon ending to 2077 and V and Panam canonically had children that you can meet as npc’s in the next game
sacredknight327
As far as I’m concerned, this is the canon ending.
Tarushdei
One of my top 3 favourite characters in the game.
Think my list is:
1 – Johnny
2 – Panam
3 – Judy
urlond
No she’s not that great. I hate her personality in game.
marbanasin
Honestly, I felt the game really opens up once you finally start unlocking the romance options. Even if you don’t romance them, the way they move the plot forward with texts, missions, then little pauses felt really organic. And helps give a nice excuse to bounce around doing other stuff in between which feels kind of like how you’d actually live your life.
rebeccachambersfan
Ehhhh, idk. A lot of her dialogue is very corny. Especially if you’re trying to get with her
Abyss_Renzo
I thought she was fine, but still preferred Judy. I see a lot of blame thrown around that both use you for their own gain, however that’s not a fair comparison as you mostly need to help Panam because you are forced to by your health problems, while helping Judy is totally optional after Evelyn dies and she even takes you on very sweet date. Also Panam asks so childish in the Tower ending, ghosting you completely without giving you any chance to explain yourself.
Domination1799
I think realistically, even though Panam is hot, I think she would be insufferable to date and be around. I know it’s a character flaw but she’s way too emotionally volatile if she doesn’t agree with you. It just feels like a recipe for a toxic relationship.
thelastofcincin
Panam is the only romance option who is worth it to me tbh.
TeekTheReddit
Depends on how you play.
My last run I was a stone cold professional that barely gave her the time of day and she just kept bothering me like we were friends or something.

thats because she can only exist on paper
