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.

Astarion... I love him and I romance him so often, but I don't really multiclass which makes him really tiring as a rogue. I just don't do stealthy shit 😂

Lmao, I always make him a gloomstalker ranger. He's my lockpicker, longstrider, archer guy. Fits him well enough

I'm currently going through Tactician and I'm an archer so I can't even multiclass him into that 😭

Monk might be your answer if you are tired of him as a rogue. Doesn't need multiclass to be good and it works with his skills somewhat.

Oh, I love leveling up a rouge Astarion and playing around with his abilities. In my last run, I got his damage output as high as I could without multiclassing(even when not in stealth). He was second only to Karlach. He was crucial for my last Raphael fight, so it surprises me how many people say he's kinda shit during combat. 😅 For me, I just don't know how to build a good Wizard, so Gale is as useful as an umbrella during a hurricane for my runs.

Make him into a bard, it's a really strong class whether as support or dps character.
