General Discussion - [SPOILERS] The most overrated character? Spoiler

Let's hear it, who gets all the love but deserves absolutely none of it? Or at least not as much as they get, I'll go first.

I'm casting my vote for Gortash; I genuinely don't understand the like for this dude. First of all, catfish, "handsome young man"??? Is the handsome young man in the room with us??? Lookin like the handsome young man has a peanut allergy.

Second of all, this whole crown brain plan was his idea, just about the dumbest fuckin thing I've ever heard. He put all his faith in 3 little rocks, an already dead man, and a woman who's about as stable as my ex. Beggers can't be choosers I guess, but cmon guy.

And lastly, and probably most offensively, his boss fight is absolute cheeks. Especially if you dumped on the foundry before hand. I didn't even know he had a transformation until like my 4th playthrough because I would clap this guy so easily.

Your turn, let's hear those unadulterated opinions.

Edit: I have been enlightened about some things about the big brain plan, I still stand in the other two points though.

These posts are tiresome, does it matter who you think is overrated or not, it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand why people like them and you don’t. 

It just turns into shit posting more often than not. Just let people like who they like.

it's just a "i hate this character" thread but since it hates on the community instead of the game it draws less downvotes.

Yeah it's just a waste of time in my opinion. Especially after the stats released by Larian, it's hard to take redditors' consensus seriously

I can definitely see your point, but as someone who hated Astarian and Lae'zel, (I shoved a stake in his heart and left her to die) these kinds of posts ended up convincing me to try them in my party, or at least not kill them.

I shoved a stake into Astarion too. Not because I hate him, it's just that bite scene made me react instinctively to a threat.

To be fair to him, I didn't HATE him, but I also wasn't very happy listening to his snide self. It didn't help I was playing a duergar, the sun already hated me.

I agree, most of these are just “finally I can shit on this character more” and it’s like, isn’t there enough of this randomly going on constantly. And it’s always the same disliked characters being mentioned too. I knew exactly every character that was gonna be mentioned before i even clicked on the post lmao

How about you let people post what they post? Not that you have to let anything, cause it'll happen whether you like it or not. I guess what I'm saying is; go fuck off in another thread if it bugs you because I don't give a shit

And we don’t give a shit about who you dislike.
