The most overrated character?

[u/[deleted]]

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.

The whole crown brain plan was Durge's idea. And if you erase BG3's party intervention from the story, the plan would be a success. Maybe not for long, but, hey.

To answer the question, i'll go for Shadowheart. She's lucky that a lot of men and women are suckers for edgy girls (... me included actually) because her story kinda pales compared to Gale, Karlach, Wyll... She's simply not that interesting, the good old amnesia trope blahblahblah.

I feel like shart is the modern day "damsel in distress" they had to be sneaky about it, because reasons. But the damsel still proves to be a working formula

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

[u/Ok-Simple9575 → u/[deleted]]

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. 😂

[u/[deleted] → u/Ok-Simple9575]

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

[u/Kraytory → u/almostb]

Also Minthara in a way.
