A term used used to describe characters that offer an amazing experience while taking part in their story line, but feel lifeless after their story finishes. Often causing the immersive illusion to shatter.
The term is based on the character
Panam in
Cyberpunk 2077. Her
Panam effect was falling into a deep loving relationship with you during her story, but her ai afterwards becomes shallow to a point it acts like she completely forgotten.
User 1. I’m hurting man. Have you ever fell finished a storyline and loved a
companion, but then it’s like they completely forgot who you were?
User 2. Same! Happens all the time. The Panam Effect is the worst. I wish the
ai had more
depth.
