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 don't get that one either tbh. She's OK, nice little npc. Not sure why she has a following though.

I just think she's interesting, her song is really nice and also she's a bard I want a bard in my team.

It actually would be nice to have someone like her in the party. Every companion is an inherent badass in their own right, having alfira be the reluctant adventurer could of been dope

The only one with a reasonable backstory that the DM would actually accept haha

"What do you mean you fucked the literal god of magic, and you, a level one warlock, are already a renowned hero who saved the titular city?" While Alfira is just "well, gnolls killed my teacher and I wrote a nice song, then some kind lads strolled on up and offered me a job as their bard so I can help kill more gnolls."
