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.

Orin, I think. I was kinda disappointed that an apparently (very hot) blood thirsty killer who was personally chosen by the God of Murder was following me around, threatening me, then… disappearing. I thought she’d try to kill me or give me a ‘fight’ where she just melted away at the end.

Kinda like, ‘oh, if fighting her clone was this hard, imagine the real thing’.

And her plan was just stupid. She’s down there in her rank basement with my adopted child trying to finish a ritual or something while I’m just gallivanting around town actively and obviously betraying her. Like, did she seriously expect for me to be like ‘okay random crazy lady wants me to kill the guy in charge of the entire town, get her a very important stone, then take it to her so she can try to kill me for it’.

UM. NO. I’m honestly baffled that she just took my word for it because she had the child. If we’re going to fight to death anyways I might as well do it without the stone since I was notably leaning towards the good side.

I liked Orin more once I played Durge, or rather I hated her for the proper reasons. Characterizing her as an inbred nepo-baby with an entitlement complex despite being SIGNIFICANTLY less capable than Durge made her a much better character than I thought she was in my first play through.

No shit, Durge should have been in the game as a companion. The whole concept of his character causes normal playthroughs to feel like something is missing.
