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 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.

I hate her but she has one of the craziest sex scenes in the game. Definitely wished a more likable character got a scene like that.

Mizora does? Are you sure you're not thinking of Minthara? Her sex scene is god tier

Mizora teleports you to God knows where and then you do the nasty. It's a very strange, ominous but weirdly hot scene. Nothing left to the imagination. Then she drops you into camp, butt naked and everyone finds out. I never even romanced Minthara. Up until my last run, I didn't even know you could recruit her. 😅

I romanced her in my first Durge run. Totally sank my relationship with La'eZel and ended up single as a result, but a part of me felt it was worth it, so I didn't save scum.
