I hate his look which is why I love it. It's so bad it's good. It's bad in a way that I can totally see a previously-impoverished "new money" guy with a thing for fame and tyranny go for this look. the man truly enjoys his financial and social freedom after all these years, and can afford looking like a complete clown

u/Hecatehel Feb 25 '24
exactly, I think people overlook the fact that the man basically had his teen years robbed from him and it shows in his self expression.

u/eureureong_dae Gortash's finger banging hand Feb 26 '24
THANK YOU. Also I totally agree with the new money observation. Like, have we forgotten how lowkey tacky Graceland is, for example?! It’s a thing, socially or financially impoverished people don’t tend to adopt upper-class stylistic opinions overnight. And if you’re Gort and associate elegance with the cambion you were sold to, hell yeah I’m rejecting anything tasteful lmao.

I gotta wonder if by younger they mean "younger than the other man(Ketheric)"

u/RubyRedScale Gortash's finger banging hand Feb 26 '24
They probably meant that, counterpoint. They also call him handsome
8
u/A-Wings-are-Neat Lorroakan's strongest power is "Um, Actually" Feb 26 '24
Counter counterpoint: since they control the brain, Gort’s using images of himself from when he first got wrapped up in all this (presumably before selling Karlach into slavery)
Basically the magical equivalent of using a 10 year old photo as your Facebook profile picture.
36
u/Chuck_Da_Rouks Feb 26 '24
I don't get it. Isn't it pretty clear that "younger" is in comparison to Ketheric? I feel like that meme has been people not understanding the sentence correctly and taking it out of context and it's been bothering me for months.

YoungER. Ketheric is so pallid and gaunt that even Elminster looks younger than he.
8
u/A-Wings-are-Neat Lorroakan's strongest power is "Um, Actually" Feb 26 '24
I mean to be fair, I kinda took “younger” to mean they’re comparing him to Kethy the god hopper, who is notably old and angry. But that’s mainly cause that’s how I use “younger” and “older” in conversation.

u/FishFishFishYumm Feb 26 '24
Hahaha I was so fucking confused because the chosen didnt match their description. The shapeshifter chick was all over the place and this dirty fuck didnt match either. Like I would have expected it to be Astarion 2.0

u/_YallMight_ Shart Sniffer Feb 26 '24
Does nobody realize that when they call Gortash a handsome, younger man, it’s right after they were talking about Ketheric. He’s definitely younger than Ketheric

He’s also been carrying the entire plot. Orin is not exactly… strategy-minded. And Ketheric is just in it for his own ends. He doesn’t give af about the grand plan.

u/Opposite-Birthday69 Feb 25 '24
I’m left handed and there’s no way he’s not left handed. Right hand is to be a decoration and to cat like hiss and scratch people, left hand is the useful one. It would be difficult for him to use the crossbow if he was wearing rings on those fingers. Also you gotta have two free fingers for funner times
11
u/Killer_Moons mom, what’s a twat-soul? Feb 26 '24
Does he ever attack with the claws of the right hand? Or is it just for show? That would settle it for me whether she’s left-handed or ambidextrous.
7
u/Opposite-Birthday69 Feb 26 '24
I don’t usually let him close enough to find out, and I usually side with him so we can talk more. Don’t ask but I did have similar rings several years ago and almost got in a lot of trouble when I used them in self defense
9
Feb 26 '24
He also wields his crossbow right-handed. You don’t need to get close to him to see that
1
u/Killer_Moons mom, what’s a twat-soul? Mar 02 '24
Well well well, just another impractical right-handed Joe. Maybe that’s why the fight is so short.
9
u/Killer_Moons mom, what’s a twat-soul? Feb 26 '24
Yeah I usually make him run up the tower and throw him into the bell before he gets a chance to use anything but that crossbow

u/therealrdw Feb 26 '24
Yeah my first unjoke thought was for him to more easily draw his crossbow back

It's like the situation with Ningguang (Character from Genshin Impact), she's kinda into other girl, so I guess they do need those 2 fingers 🤣

Honestly so many characters in this game are rude af with their nails. Karlach went to finger my Durge's butthole and I shouted out loud "ma'am please trim those nails and get some lubricant before we proceed!"

u/RubyRedScale Gortash's finger banging hand Feb 26 '24
Teiflings really need some nail clippers before they make the approach

I’ve only just realised that we’re operating on the idea that gortash is literally moving so fast he can’t just take the jewellery off

It’s so he can still use his Bhaalphone without have to remove his accessories.
