Disney Dreamlight Valley brings together characters from across Disney and Pixar\u2019s vast catalogs, allowing players to get to know some of the heroes, villains, and sidekicks they grew up loving. While the presence of some Disney villains can rub players the wrong way, they bring some personality and fun drama to the otherwise peaceful and cutesy world. Some villains are even surprising players by being way more fun to have around than expected \u2013 and no one subverts expectations quite like Gaston. Disney Dreamlight Valley players surprised to love Gaston Beauty and the Beast\u2019s Gaston was introduced to the Valley in last year\u2019s A Rift in Time expansion. Known for his brawn, arrogance, and obsessive pursuit of Belle, Gaston wasn\u2019t exactly a character players were asking for. However, despite many going into the game expecting (or even wanting) to hate him, some players report that the classic villain has actually managed to win them over. \u201cIs it just me, or is Gaston annoyingly adorable in DDV?\u201d asked Reddit user Southern_Security_31. \u201cI really wanted to hate him. I used all the sarcastic dialogue and dreaded his quests. But I think I enjoy spending time with him and I feel disgusting.\u201d Others agreed with the poster, with one saying \u201cI feel bad for him, he misses LeFou.\u201d Throughout his quests, Gaston tries to use the player as a replacement for his loyal sidekick, and while there are dialogue options where you can remind him that you\u2019re not LeFou, it seems the storyline has made the character far more sympathetic. Some go as far as to say that they prefer Gaston in Dreamlight Valley to the Beast, who has been criticized for his gloomy demeanor and angry outbursts. Additional game content like Gaston\u2019s journal entries have also made him endearing. \u201cEverything is misspelled and he can\u2019t admit he missed LeFou even when it\u2019s obvious,\u201d notes one commenter. They also praised Gaston\u2019s relationship with Rapunzel, calling it \u201cwholesome\u201d and pointing out that \u201cMovie Gaston definitely would\u2019ve hit on her, but not this Gaston.\u201d Differences like this add up to a Gaston that leans into the silliness and does away with his cruelty while still feeling like Gaston. It\u2019s a fine line that the developers seem to have walked with ease, something that should have fans optimistic for future characters \u2013 especially villains \u2013 that may join Disney Dreamlight Valley in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Disney Dreamlight Valley players shocked how much they enjoy despised villain Disney \/ GameloftDespite being fully prepared to hate him, Disney Dreamlight Valley players are surprised by how much they actually enjoy having Gaston in the game.
