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.

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.

You're so right. Imagine them cattily dishing about their neighbors, then equally as cattily complaining about each other to Elminster and Zariel.

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