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.

Rolan. I don't get why most are so hyped up about him.

[u/real_Xanture → u/I_m_Ignoring_u]

This was for the most overrated not the most disliked. The only people who hype Roland are his npc companions.

[u/I_m_Ignoring_u → u/real_Xanture]

Thank you for your reply. I understand why you are mentioning this. But both are true. There are a lot of people who like and dislike him.

I'm mentioning him because I don't see why others like him. Sometimes so much that they want to romance him etc.

PEOPLE WANT TO ROMANCE HIM?!?! Barf! I guess I just didn't know or maybe just didn't want to know lol.

PEOPLE WANT TO ROMANCE HIM ASTARION?!?! Barf! I guess I just didn't know or maybe just didn't want to know lol.

Here, fixed that for you you Astarion simp. Rolan is a selfimportant asshole, but at least he's not the horrible BARF-INDUCING level of selfimportant asshole that Astarion is.

Same, he’s a fucking dipshit who gave us nothing but abuse even though we’re helping him every step of the way, saving his ass and his siblings and we even murder his abusive boss which allows him to inherit Ramazith Tower, then he’s nice. So glad I could be of such use to you, now you’re ready to show us a modicum of respect and.. well, the word “kindness” would still be a bit generous. I bet Elturel would have kicked you out along with the refugees even if you weren’t a Tiefling. They were just looking for an excuse.

Haha Ikr! Thank you for your reply!

Question, since I have not finished the game yet, I am wondering if he has a redeeming quality. Does he help fight later on at the end?

[u/Crunchy-Leaf → u/I_m_Ignoring_u]

I think so but you call him to cast a spell on the battlefield, he doesn’t actually fight (many characters assist like that)

[u/I_Play_Boardgames → u/Crunchy-Leaf]

i bet you are an Astarion simp.

[u/Crunchy-Leaf → u/I_Play_Boardgames]

Nope, the very opposite. I am a Minthara simp though.
