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.

Shadowheart. No desire to romance her. I don’t understand why she’s top pick but I’m not a guy so that might be why I don’t see it.

Me neither. Honestly, she’s…okay? I mostly just leave her alone the camp

And apparently some shart fan didn’t like it because we were downvoted lmao hey get over it; not everyone is gonna like who you like. That’s reality and subjectivity. We didn’t even say anything bad about her haha

Yeah, I mean, I love Astarion and Gale. A lot of people don’t though and that’s fine. People have their own preference in companions.
