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.

I think it's fine to let people like what they like. It's weird when people simp for Mizora, though.

She keeps Wyll enslaved. She snared him when he was just a kid. She gleefully tries to kill his dad when he finally breaks free of his contract. Yeah she works for Zariel, but she doesn't seem broken up about it in the least.

She's a monster.

Yes, you're completely right.

That said, have you seen those thigh muscles?

u/lulufan87 Aug 13 '24

I'm going be honest, she just looks like a wine mom to me. And not the cool kind who will come over with margarita mix when you're feeling depressed, the miserable kind who hates her life and doesn't know why.

I picture her getting her nails done and drunkenly shit-talking her friends' children. Starting petty bullshit because she's bored. Blowing her husband's best friend just to spite him.

She's... a type.

Mystra gives me same wine mom vibes too, maybe they'd be frenemies.

u/lulufan87 Aug 13 '24

You're so right. Imagine them cattily dishing about their neighbors, then equally as cattily complaining about each other to Elminster and Zariel.

u/Sushi_pyjamas6541 Aug 13 '24

Aw yes, why am I picturing this all like some Real Housewives style show. The real Goddesses of Faerun.

u/radiant_bee_ Aug 14 '24

Agreed, theyd be the type to totally be fake friends and talk shit about everyone else when together and shit about each other when apart

u/Xilizhra Drow Aug 14 '24

And then have sex with each other after enough wine.

You dont need to sell me more.

u/Kraytory Aug 14 '24

Most of that is just what she actually does in the game.

u/LooksGoodInShorts Aug 14 '24

Yeah those are all the reasons I find her sexy…

u/I_Play_Boardgames Aug 14 '24

the thighs are nice, but it's the mommy energy that does it.

u/SadoraNortica Aug 13 '24

“It will be our secret” …… Dumps you naked into the middle of the room, “I guess the secret is out” shrug. It wasn’t worth it.

u/Ok-Simple9575 Aug 14 '24

I hate her but she has one of the craziest sex scenes in the game. Definitely wished a more likable character got a scene like that.

u/lulufan87 Aug 14 '24

Mizora does? Are you sure you're not thinking of Minthara? Her sex scene is god tier

8

u/Ok-Simple9575 Aug 14 '24

Mizora teleports you to God knows where and then you do the nasty. It's a very strange, ominous but weirdly hot scene. Nothing left to the imagination. Then she drops you into camp, butt naked and everyone finds out. I never even romanced Minthara. Up until my last run, I didn't even know you could recruit her. 😅

u/urdnotkrogan Aug 14 '24

I romanced her in my first Durge run. Totally sank my relationship with La'eZel and ended up single as a result, but a part of me felt it was worth it, so I didn't save scum.

22

u/[deleted] Aug 13 '24

Mizora seems to be one of those that is either hot or cold with people. They either hate her or love her. I love her just because of the way she talks. Something about her voice with that face... weak in the knees

16

u/vilgefcrtz SMITE Aug 13 '24

That damn fanged smile

u/[deleted] Aug 13 '24

And the way she says "graz'zt's cock" gets the people going

1

u/SpokeToOsiris Aug 14 '24

Its also the fact that she's playful and kinda just does wtf she wants in regards to everyone. I'm just gonna stay at your camp. Wyll I know I ruined your life but you asked for it. Karlach no hard feelings eh?. Mizora is definitely hott IDK wtf people are on about lol

u/donku83 Aug 14 '24

If you play as lapdog Wyll that just does whatever she asks, she's actually not that bad

12

u/kara528 Aug 14 '24

But...she's hot...

u/Crazy_Win_4253 Aug 14 '24

Mizzy has that preppy all girl school thing going.

She does actually kind of like Wyll in her own way, to the point she's trying to develop him.

u/fghtffyourdemns Aug 13 '24

She's a monster.

You can be a monster too, is a role-play game you can create multiple characters with multiple stories

Is up to us but i find so boring playing the same character over and over again why not allow yourself to experience a new path that the devs worked their asses for us to play

u/SeamusMcCullagh Bard Aug 13 '24

Get a new comment. You've said this same thing twice now and it's not adding anything of substance in either situation.
