Re: Overpowered characters

For me it is less superpowered characters that bother me and more always right characters. If they have a lot of powers but can be wrong and make mistakes and have weaknesses, I'm fine with it.

On the other hand you have characters like Richard Rahl in the Sword of Truth powers who is not only overpowered but is always right even when he's really really wrong. And the author sets things up so the other characters have to practically worship him so they aren't vulnerable to the main bad guy.

Uuuuuuggghhh, Richard Rahl.
Those books were loaned to me by a teacher, which made my eventual opinion of them a little awkward...

I hated Richard. He regularly went from being bland and boring to me actively judging and despising him for his choices. He was OP'd and super awesome and moral (even though they weren't always imo), and all the women ere in love with him. That series was just a trainwreck.

Sword of Truth legitimately went far, far off the rails. I quit before it got horrible, but I've heard stories *shudder*.

It really did. I really love the first book, and I quite enjoyed the next three (minus the end of the fourth). But it really, really goes off the rails and pretty much becomes an author tract masquerading as fantasy.

Wasn't the first one actually a commentary on the evils of gun control, to be fair?

Was it? I didn't get that from it, but I haven't done actually any research on it outside of reading it. The later books are clearly objectivest tracts. But if that was the intended message, at least it wasn't overpowering the story. It was still a good story. The later ones not so much.
