I think Panam is a bit of a firecracker. She's very quick to light up with emotions, so with this in mind I think her reactions make sense even if they can get pretty extreme.

That said, I would have liked if her questline showed some maturing and growth on Panam's part, because as it is I don't think she's quite ready for the leadership position the game puts her in.

She buries her axe and comes to Saul's rescue because family is more important. Then, instead of leaving again she sticks with the clan and tries to help. I liked this, but I also felt that after Saul's rescue it all went back to square one. She's back to fighting with him again, she still stubbornly refuses to consider different perspectives than her own. For someone who's so anti-authority becoming an authority... it just doesn't feel right to me.

Saul is wrong for trying to make a deal with Biotechnica, but he was in a pretty desperate situation. He's responsible for so many lives and with his hope for finding a better life for his people falling apart, he did what he thought would help him take care of his family. Panam needs to learn that your idealism can only take you so far.
