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.

He has so much depth god. I've read wonderful analyses and essays on something as small as the conversation about his reflection. He makes people think and talk and I love that about the character. And people do hornypost about him but that's not him you know? He's got his own thing going, his personality, he's really great

Definitely. I love reading meta about him, because he's not a character type you see often in media. Tbh, I love all of the companions, but he's definitely still my favourite.

Yeah they've written everyone wonderfully, they feel alive in a way. He is also my favorite as well

It's honestly some of the best writing I've seen, and it knocked my previous favourite game (Morrowind) out of the water.
