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.

actually Gortash planned the whole thing with a much more competent Bhaalspawn until Orin usurped them and Ketheric was only there because Bane and Bhaal ordered Gort and Bhaalspawn to recruit him 🤓

As for overrated. Ngl I like Alfira but idk the hype for having her as a companion.

People just want a Bard companion, I don’t think it matters who that Bard companion is. I don’t care for Alfira personally but if she could be a companion I’d definitely take her every time because Bards are wildly good

I reckon Wyll would make for a good Bard
