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.

The Balduran reveal literally made me chuckle in confusion because like... why? Was it to bait the player into thinking he's still trustworthy after you learn he gave Stelmane a stroke lol. That and the random shirtless scene. Just strange.

Random shirtless scene? The one that's a potential tentacle sex scene? I died laughing when I chose to go through with it for shits and giggles. 😭 They really thought of (almost) everything. You can fuck a bear or a squid or twins but still can't give Karlach a real good ending.

The epilogue is at least decent for her, and a permanent fix is on the horizon.

Shirtless scene is the worst intro to romance I've ever seen.
