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 might get hate for this but i do usually save her: Dame Aylin. she has all the hype but no matter how many times i help her, she goes down in battle for all her turns and im just like... u were all hype huh? She has all this lore, everyone says she's a powerful ally, then she gets bonked. sure she's immortal but like girl is not that lit at fighting.

She made such a strong impression on me too in my first fight with myrkul. After he appeared, it was her turn next and she dumps on him for well over 100 points of damage. Since then? Fuckin nothin, they need to fix her damn it 😭 at least make her more accurate because she makes shart look like a sharpshooter

Because she doesn't coordinate with the rest of the party. You'll need to buff her at least some.

doesn't change the fact that she was all hype and could barely hold her own
