Reddit user Ashreix recently posted a fan art that brings together the worlds of Genshin Impact and Fallout 4 that centers on the Traveler and Paimon. As the fan art reflects, the Traveler of Genshin Impact is considered a protagonist of the game despite many other playable characters becoming favorites in the community. Unlike Genshin Impact, Fallout 4 fans are limited to playing the RPG as the Sole Survivor of Vault 111 who has a rich customization system and shares a similarly ambiguous name as the Traveler.

Just like in Genshin Impact, the Traveler in Ashreix’s Fallout 4-inspired fan art shows the character carrying a sword on their back, but they are also holding a futuristic gun that would be at home in the Fallout universe. While there are many companions in Fallout 4 like Nick Valentine, Paladin Danse, and Piper Wright, Genshin Impact’s Paimon seems to be playing the role of Dogmeat in Ashreix’s fan art. The smaller Paimon alerts the curious Traveler that they found something in Ashreix’s piece just as Dogmeat often locates important loot such as ammo and consumables for the Sole Survivor in Fallout 4.
As Dogmeat accompanies Fallout 4 players through their Boston commonwealth adventure, Paimon joins the Traveler, which shows the key similarity between the characters beyond this fan art. Though the Traveler and Paimon are normally found in Genshin Impact zones like Inazuma or Liyue, Ashreix’s fan art shows the HoYoverse characters in the torn-up world of Fallout 4, emphasized by much darker colors in the background than Genshin fans are familiar with. Paimon wears a western outfit, one that can be found in Nuka-World, with some items in its pockets in the fan art. The Traveler is in the common Vault 111 jumper that Fallout 4 fans are given early in the game in Ashreix’s fan art while wearing a crown more akin to a Genshin Impact item.
Many Genshin Impact fans responding to Ashreix’s fan art have celebrated the pairing with Fallout 4, while some others were surprised to see such a clash of styles. Referring to Preston Garvey’s regular call-outs in Fallout 4, one Genshin Impact fan told Ashreix that a Settlement needs their help, while another fan compared Genshin character Katheryne to Garvey.
Genshin Impact is available now for Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
