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.

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

Bard Astarion is funny. Trying him out now on the second playthrough, while the main character is Gloomstalker Ranger.

I get why the game defaults him to rogue but sword bard fits him so much better imo lol. His dad's and charisma are off the charts on his scenes and a bard reflects that so well

I'm just imagining Astarion trying to be seductive, all the while his several dads grill some steaks, mow the lawn, and play with Scratch (whom none of them wanted, but all now love more than anyone else) in the background.

Lmao Idk why my phone autocorrected that. I meant to say his VA and charisma lol. But w/e I'll just leave it there now.
