What Zero Could've Been

[Avidria]

In the sense that he continues to terrorize the player character in every scene he appears in and can’t keep his hands off them. A demon by way of that and more a clingy sort of creature whose attempts at seduction and getting close to my character fail repeatedly because he acts so strangely. A pity that they couldn’t at least have done us the favor of making him conventionally attractive if he was going to behave in such a manner.

This is genuinely and unironically the most absolutely baffling take I have ever seen on a video game forum
Are we playing the same game? Did I fever dream this entire expansion or what?

Like my biggest issue with G'raha is that he effectively worships the ground we walk on - in a bizarrely naive hero worship kind of way. Like a, wow sure would suck to have a friend who sees you as a hero before a person kind of way. I love the guy, but I think they push that angle too hard. And I'm STILL completely baffled as to how he could be interpreted as anything close to a "demonic seductress."

Like, Haurchefaunt was worse even after being hit with a censorship bat or two. Now THAT dude was blatantly WoLsexual.

Haurchefaunt didnt eat hamburgers, so I imagine he is considered "okay"

But he had roast chicken, may as well have been eating at Boston Market!

I bet he would have liked to go out and get burgers with us too...

Oh I've been here a while and seen some very baffling takes lol
Just few that have left me quite so confused

Editing to throw out some thoughts here on. The thread topic I guess lol
I'm glad Zero isn't more of a demonic seductress type character because personally I find that type of character generally off putting, uncomfortable, or just uninteresting unless it's done very well or in an interesting way.

And now I'm going to go lie down have a good one y'all

I actually, really really like Venat. She's really just the best Mother.

Just another day in GD."Yikes" is what we do best.

By it's very definition, yikes cannot be the best. Best and yikes do not belong in the same sentence and are capital offense war crimes and violations of the Geneva Convention.

Figures you'd be head over heels for the character who is basically a complete sociopath.

Who else am I going to empathize and identify with? Momma Nelf put Sylvie in the time-out box forever and ever. I just like killing people. In my video games. That's totally what I meant.

You forgot the /s

Did I, though?
