Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players can\u2019t take Act 3\u2019s \u201cweeb\u201d villain seriously Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 players have taken a new stance on one of the game\u2019s most prominent antagonists, though it might not be the perspective that he would want. The wide range of villains in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 is a big part of what makes the story so compelling. When you add in the fact that you could treat several other characters as antagonists, depending on how you roleplay, the possibilities are nearly limitless, and that\u2019s before we\u2019ve even touched on Durge playthroughs. However, not all villains are born equal, and there\u2019s one late-game antagonist that just doesn\u2019t command the same presence as the rest of the rogues gallery. It was always going to be a tough act following Act 2\u2019s Ketheric Thorm, especially with JK Simmons\u2019 impeccable voice-acting, but players just don\u2019t feel the same way about Enver Gortash, chosen of Bane. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players just don\u2019t feel intimidated by Gortash Ironically, Gortash is meant to be the most imposing of the Dead Three. As the Chosen of the tyranny god, you\u2019d expect him to be more intimidating, but he\u2019s pretty chill in person, and offers you a place at his side ruling the world almost immediately when you reach Act 3. To cap it all off, players just aren\u2019t sold on his style, which doesn\u2019t match the look that Ketheric and Orin were going for. One player on the Baldur\u2019s Gate subreddit asked: \u201cAm I the only one who can\u2019t take Gortash seriously? Like seriously, the guy looks like a middle-aged Weeb cosplaying Final Fantasy.\u201d Several players agreed, with one comment reading: \u201cWhen they referred to him as the handsome man in my second playthrough I fricken guffawed, like there\u2019s no way they thought that hairstyle with that old dude face went well together.\u201d It doesn\u2019t help that the narration insists that Gortash is a young, handsome man, despite his model looking significantly older.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
