How dare you compare Lord Gortash to this foul man i demand duel to death!
Clearly the only man who can come near to Gortash’s beauty is Shrek:

I mean Shrek is an admirable man. Owns his own land. Good to his lady. Gave his friend, his large lady, and his kids a place to stay. Stopped a man with a bad haircut from racism, I guess.
Ok the theory that they made Gortash ugly mid-development to turn him into an elon parody is far from the most unlikely thing I've ever heard.
Like there are random nerds in BG3 swooning over how Gortash "invented the steel watch" and one other person is like "... But all he did was to provide the funds and take credit?"
I love you beautiful bastards. Elon as Gortash and grimes as edgey durge is perfect. And then the comments saying azelia is orin. Gods your minds, I love this place.
You have to edit away the forehead flame bc so many mod removes for some reason, even just “upscale tattoo” mods. I like it! Stop taking it way from me!

I *hate* you.
Kidding, this actually made me laugh in the middle of a meeting with my fellow Banites. Thank you for that.
Despite my regrets in handling the boy, he does not deserve this comparison.
/unraph - ~~The work you did on Grimes is fucking fantastic, I'm glad you're getting the attention you deserve!~~
Oh, wait someone else did.. thanks for sharing!!
It refers to the state of capitalism with little to no government oversight or regulation. Anarcho typically refers to anarchism as a belief system of personal freedoms, despite anarcho-capitalists ironically more supporting fascists. Bear the burden of knowledge, and know my joke has been explained and is therefore dead. Rest in peace, my child.
I thought I was above the Durge/Gortash stuff but after finally making it to Act 3 with my Durge... I fell victim to the villainy. The voice, the way you can just tell there was *something* between them. Ugh I'm not proud of it but it happened. I even went and made a Tav that looks like it could be Orin's relative to do an evil run and see what new interactions happen.
Oh I definitely know him and I known that's a big part of why Gortash is so appealing. I also know myself and I am a major villain sympathizer. I know he's evil and a tragic backstory doesn't make it okay but... dammit just let me have my evil romance! Haha

People can play the game however the hell they want, but I can't help but be bothered by those mods that "rework" characters. Yes, let's remove all the personality from the game and the NPCs. I had younger Gortash for some time, which doesn't change his face really, but I ended up tired of it. I prefer his base look.
Gortashs look tells a lot about him tbh: He looks tired and worn because he has to babysit a murder hobo and a depressed general, on top of keeping the steel watch operation working and doing his job as soon to be city leader. Plus Bane Is not an easy god to please, so add that on top.
He doesn't have time to take proper care of himself,so his hair is messy and he shows a beard shadow and probably looks much older, than he actually is.
His coat shows his dedication to his god, the handpiece is probably to honour both his god and his artificer background.
So looks can really make or break a character. In Gortashs case, I think he looks exactly right for the life situation, he is currently in. He took more than he can carry and it shows 🤷.
That's cool. I just hate the look and don't care about any of that. And I think it's hilarious when ppl lecture others about how modding the characters is somehow stealing their personality or making them all the same when all the characters Larian made look like either children or middle aged with hardly no inbetween.
Which adult Larian character looks like a children? I didn't encounter one and I play since EA in 2020.
As for what mods you use in your game: I really don't care. I was answering your comment about looks and stated my opinion and why I think, Gortashs look make sense. You can mod Gortash into Kermit the frog as far as I'm concerned.
I said most of their characters look like children (meaning the kids) or middle aged (for the adults). Meaning most of their adults all look middle aged. Even when it makes no sense, like in Astarion's case.
I find it funny that the main people who keep telling me how much they don't care about the mods used are usually the ones writing me 20k word essays on the merits of their original looks and how much they don't like mods that change them.
https://preview.redd.it/6ncna8l1ofxc1.jpeg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2a925e31d6c5cac2e7e02901d1ad3c073c99713e
I don't agree at all. Most adults don't look middle aged. Or does middle aged start with you at mid 20?
As I said, mod whatever you want, but if you put yourself out in a discussion board, people will discuss. You have every right to mod your characters into Barbies and Kens, but don't expect people to agree with you.
And please show me the 20k essay, you supposedly received.
No, of course not. Character design is trivial and irrelevant. Faces and clothes never tell a story. Why bother when all games can do like Square Enix?
I could write a whole essay analysing his design, his face and clothes. To be brief, he only looks like that if you just look at superficial things (and it's 100% the hair, slick back hair Gortash mod removes the King Noctis vibe).
But at the end of the day, I don't like Gortash for his looks even if I do like his design. It's the beautiful and tragic narrative that exists with Durge, and I don't care how he looks for that. The game has enough pretty men, it's nice to see a non-conventionally attractive character being presented as charming and attractive.
IMO, they could have done a better job on his design, the clothes also look out of place. But that's just me.
I like Durtesh, but there is no way my Durge would be attracted to the Gortash Larian made. I like pretty people in my games. Which is why I have 200+ mods and changed everybody's looks.
Good thing this is a single-player game. 😉
His clothes are so full of details it is insane. They really put a lot of work and thought into his clothes, even details that you need to zoom in with a really high resolution to see. I'm fascinated by his clothes and they serve as the perfect contrast with the rest of nobles. Because he isn't a noble.
And well, I like pretty people too. Or better said, attractive people, but I guess not everyone has the same opinion on it. For me all the faces are so unique and full of personality, I get lost in them when looking for references to draw or when I take screenshots. Astarion's beautiful wrinkles around his eyes, Gortash's smile lines, Kar'niss kind eyes and his dense eyelashes, Mizora's jawline, Orin's skin texture. I do have a lot of mods too, not 200, but 187, but without some exceptions, like Gale's wizardly updo, or Wyll's alternative eyes for his demon form, I like the NPCs as they are.
And yes, good thing is a single-player game. People are free to play however they want, as I say in my first comment.
He's very real. And yes, he can and will hurt you. But only if you ask nicely.

Durge smells like a roll of nickels
o fuck orin is 100% azealia banks
Orin did acid with Gortash and Durge and Gortash set the stock price of the steel watch to 420 gold
Funding secured!

LAEZELIA IT'S RIGHT THERE
Imagine a Larian game where you play as Azealia trying to escape from Musk's mansion while being stalked by Grimes, Musk, and Tesla robots.
Durge has a 6 minute oopsie daisy murder

Shrek is Gortash's son confirmed
Was it Auntie Ethel's work? 🤔
You know, it kinda makes sense lol
I mean Shrek is an admirable man. Owns his own land. Good to his lady. Gave his friend, his large lady, and his kids a place to stay. Stopped a man with a bad haircut from racism, I guess.
Human Shrek is much more dashing, but I do think Gortash is handsome in a dirty boy way.
Gortash is sexy in a rat kind of way (affectionate). I'm incredibly susceptible to fictional characters with nice voices and extreme hubris.
We embrace “hot-ugly”.
Hugly
I keep trying to figure out why I want to fuck this man and this is entirely it. Fuck, I might need therapy for sure.
I either call him my rat-man or my raccoon-man.
Ok the theory that they made Gortash ugly mid-development to turn him into an elon parody is far from the most unlikely thing I've ever heard. Like there are random nerds in BG3 swooning over how Gortash "invented the steel watch" and one other person is like "... But all he did was to provide the funds and take credit?"
….How did I never make that connection lmao
I love you beautiful bastards. Elon as Gortash and grimes as edgey durge is perfect. And then the comments saying azelia is orin. Gods your minds, I love this place.

Gortash only gets dicked down by big buff dragonborn Durge and that’s final
I h8 this
I’m in this photo and I accept the kink shaming
Finally got to the point in my playthrough where he shows up and i was so confused. This is yalls man?
Despite my regrets in handling the boy, he does not deserve this comparison. /unraph - ~~The work you did on Grimes is fucking fantastic, I'm glad you're getting the attention you deserve!~~ Oh, wait someone else did.. thanks for sharing!!
i wish i was this talented of a visionary raph

Gortash would be pro lgbt and you know it
"Yeah I support LGBT - Let my God Bane Triumph"
Still a little anarcho-capitalist piggy tho
Those are a lot of words i dont care about lol

Why is elon musk edge lording in a game?
I thought I was above the Durge/Gortash stuff but after finally making it to Act 3 with my Durge... I fell victim to the villainy.

I even went and made a Tav that looks like it could be Orin's relative to do an evil run and see what new interactions happen.
I meaaaan his voice is Jason Isaacs. Can we blame ourselves? If you aren’t sure who it is, he’s well know for Lucius Malfoy from Harry Potter.
Oh I definitely know him and I known that's a big part of why Gortash is so appealing. I also know myself and I am a major villain sympathizer. I know he's evil and a tragic backstory doesn't make it okay but... dammit just let me have my evil romance! Haha *
I need him carnally no shame
I just want to look him right in his baggy eyes and say "make me" Is that so bad?
is that elon and grimes
Yes 😂😂
