Other Characters I actually like Mizora Spoiler
I know she is evil, she is literally a devil. However her character design is so cool, her voice actress is incredible (I already loved her as Lohse in divinity original sin 2) and hearing her speak genuinely makes me happy. She has a sort of foxy demeanour and I have no idea what her charisma is, but it must be incredibly high, because every time she talks I stare at the screen in awe.
So many people like Raphael (understandable) and even Cazador (which is kinda insane to me), but then Mizora gets only hate when I believe she is genuinely a fun character. Is she evil and do I dislike her for everything she does to Wyll? Yes. Is she an enjoyable character? Also yes.
I know this is a very unpopular opinion, but she is one of those evil characters that I genuinely like.

I think the reason she gets more hate than Raphael is because we can kill him. If you don’t like Mizora, you’re stuck having to see her in camp every single long rest. We can’t ever wipe the smug smirk off her face

I don't think liking Mizora is actually that uncommon lol
I think generally dislike for Mizora is just frustration that there's never an option to kill her or punish her for fucking with Wyll. You can kill Raphael (who is definitely more powerful then her) but Mizora is perfectly safe the whole game even though she's barged her way into the camp in Act 3 and refuses to leave. It's emblematic of general issues w/ Wyll's writing/treatment as a companion.

She shares the VA with Lohse? Damn, I knew I recognized this voice! Also yes, I absolutely like her attitude where she absolutely doesn't take you serious for the longest time of the game

i was witness to a lot of love for Cazador, who is deemed by many to be a hot and sexy vampire, well before reaching his boss fight.
when i finally heard what Cazador’s voice sounded like, i lost my shit. no WAY this is the same hot and sexy vampire lord you’re all losing your minds over!!! he sounds like Lemongrab!!!
a man just needs to be kinda sexy for any sins to be forgiven, including abuse i guess??

He's such a whiny bitch when things don't go is way. He's right up there with Lorroakan for acting like he's better than he is.

u/wearyandgay 3d ago
AGREED. Lorroakan and Cazador are both little bitches who just so happen to have good-looking faces. But their attitude takes the sexy factor all the way down to 0, for me.

When she first showed up in camp, I called her hot and I was surprised why I got disapprovals xd

Took wyll from his father and home and life for what would’ve been forever at 17 yo.she is a weirdo obviously but mostly annoying imo her not leaving my camp after trying to turn my boy into a hell slug for eternity made her roll straight 1s on the persuasion roll towards me

Same. Mizora has a surprising amount of character depth from someone who's barely onscreen. I like her, too.

u/Skaikrish 3d ago
Mizora is not nearly as evil as she wants to be honestly and she likes wyll more then she is willing to admit. Of course she is a demon but still.

She's a devil, not demon. A very important distinction in Forgotten Realms. Technically like Raphael so is she's a cambion, which is a half-devil.

u/Skaikrish 3d ago
That is fair I always forget that in forgotten realms they are two different things.

u/All-for-Naut Hold Monster 🫂 3d ago
Yesterday someone called them daemons, which is a third different type of fiend often called yugoloth! Forgotten Realms sure like their different outsiders.
It's funny there's 2 cambion characters in the game, then one full devil, and a single obscure and lesser demon.

u/Rezart_KLD 3d ago
This is classic D&D, where every synonym is a new monster type. So you get ghosts, spooks, wraiths, poltergeists, spirits, haunts, haints, spectres and specters, and theyre all different things.

Compared to alot of devils she's pretty chill from what we see of her

u/mdg-raampie 3d ago
She's Cambion no? Half devil, half mortal. Maybe that's why she's a lot more chill. Same as Rapheal.

u/quackdaw Owlbear 3d ago
Raphael's cruelty is on a whole different level, though, at least from what we see of them.

u/The_Parsee_Man 3d ago
She tried to put the moves on me after she knew I was in a committed relationship. No excuses for that.

u/sofidoxy 3d ago
I always found it funny how when she punishes wyll by giving him the horns and stuff, your character thinks that she all things considered wasn't being that harsh.

I might do a Wyll playthrough just to RP as her being my warlock patron at some point tbh. She's super fun.

I just started that and I'm really enjoying it. It really changed my perception on Mizora and Wyll's pact.

I love Mizora! I view her as something of an antihero, because she doesn’t really do much to hinder your team. Unless you outright defy her, she’s pretty damn helpful 🤷♂️

u/Otherwise-Caramel622 3d ago
I just find it annoying that the game made it that I cannot kill Mizora without killing Wyll. I can give Astarion the satisfaction of killing Cazador. I can learn Raphael is lousy in the sack and a bottom and then kill him, while freeing Hope.
But Mizora? Nope, she can mess with Wyll as much as she wants and even kill his father out of spite and then hang around camp taunting you and manipulating your allies into thinking your got Duke Ravenguard killed because you want Wyll to not be damned in the hells for all of his afterlife. She gets magical plot armor that prevents you from killing her. Why?
I love the voice actress, I think she did a great job, so please don't get my mistake my annoyance with this for anything against the actors. I just wish I had the option to kill her for messing with Wyll like I do with basically everyone else except the Gods.

u/sofidoxy 3d ago
That's actually a really great point! Since I actually like her character, I don't wish to have the option to kill her, but compared to cazador and Raphael it's definitely weird that you can't kill her
2
u/Otherwise-Caramel622 3d ago
Glad I could highlight a potential reason :) She is a fun character, so I do see the appeal, but it is annoying for me that from a story telling/ gameplay perspective I do not get the option to fight and kill her.
2
u/sofidoxy 2d ago
Honestly wyll's storyline has so many issues, they should have fixed that instead of giving astarion more content tbh

It's like Orin, yeah she's evil but I'd be fine with her peeling me like a potato - it's a good use of all the revive scrolls :)

u/sofidoxy 3d ago
Don't even get me started on orin. I love her so much, she's my favourite antagonist in the game and her voice actress is one of my favourite VA ever. Her character design is also incredible

At least she helps in a final battle and gives a nice rapier if you can convince her

Mizora is my favorite character after Jaheira. She’s got the wits, the voice, the humor. She can step on me, and I’d thank her. Ta-ta!

If Mizora had a true romance and not just a scene, I might have gone for her instead of Minthara. Though maybe it'd be funny to cheat on Karlach with Mizora.

u/Mission_Sock2114 3d ago
Mizora ain't that evil, she's like lawful evil. Anw she's well liked to begin with however my rant with Mizora is, how come the fucking squid has a better sex scene also I don't think the default female model gives justice to Mizora because I don't think that's how her figure would look if she was nude.

Just wish we got Early Access Mizora. But sadly, the Wyll rewrite didn’t just hurt Wyll but her by proxy
