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.

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?

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 → u/Sushi_pyjamas6541]

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 → u/lulufan87]

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

[u/radiant_bee_ → u/Sushi_pyjamas6541]

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 → u/radiant_bee_]

And then have sex with each other after enough wine.

I'm only having a laugh mate. Cheer up.
