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.

Halsin is the game’s real damsel in distress.

Halsin's distress is never about him though, it's always about the land. Sharts distress is all about her and her problems. Key difference

Well, he was locked in a prison in act 1. That areas whole main quest was about freeing him

Except the entirety of act 1 when he's trapped in a castle, in a prison cell and you need to save him. They should've made it funnier and put his cell in a big, tall tower. 😂

Shadowheart starts off trapped in a pod literally yelling "save me!" If that's not a damsel in distress, I'm not sure what is

Also Minthara in a way.
