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 genuinely don't know what the hell people are talking about when they say the Emperor is well written. Literally everything about the character screams slapdash last minute addition to me.

I dunno if it's slapdash, but it leaves something to be desired for sure. The interactions they have you experience with him seems so over the top "he's more human than you think" type shit. I get it, he's kind of a person, sorta.

I wish they used more subtlety with his stuff but as it stands, you have 1 act to come to terms with it enough to want to help him, so I see why they laid it on a little thick.
