Darkurge Gortash bad ending romance? We NEED this <3 thoughts?
My thoughts? I was thinking about, how you'd define a "bad ending romance" with Gortash? I mean, is it a bad ending for Gortash? Is it a bad ending for Darkurge? Or is it a bad ending for Baldur's Gate? What would you like to see, what is a bad ending in romance? I am curious.
Gortash is - in my opinion - not a handsome man, not even average in his appearance. But I love all the villians Jason Isaacs are playing as an actor, his acting is delicious, so understandable, that Gortash could be interesting, but only with a mod changing his appearance, even if characteristics can make up for a lot (like in "outlander"), but Gortash's appearance is too hideously ugly.
I agree, that he would have potential, (complex) or/and more or less handsome villians in fiction attract people and that for centuries. It's a pity Larian didn't think about that enough or maybe didn't like romanceable villains, there is only Minthara and Astarion to romance (with a good evil ending). Minthara, well, is not finished. Astarion (villain-alike, sarcastic, narcissistic, murderous) and Ascended Astarion were quite good, but some inconsistent things going on there, so new players wouldn't go his villain-alike path right now.
There are quite a lot of people who are really not interested in romancing an unexcited, nice and boring partner. But Larian should have decided on such options (a romance with Gortash) before the release (and honestly, why did Larian not know about people wanting to romance Jason Isaacs? It should have been known, when they engaged him, for
what he is so popular. That's unbelieveable, haha), subsequent changes are always very dangerous. Since they won't change much about the content in BG3 anymore, maybe they'll consider a romance with a handsome villain or antagonist in their future games (passionate, exciting, violent cat and mouse games with enemies to lovers,
not unnecessary, toxic break-up scenes)
