** Fresh Cut Grass. They were initially well-liked for being an adorable and unique character concept (a small, sweet-natured Automaton non-religious Cleric with a Southern accent) with potential ties to tantalizing Aeor lore left hanging from Campaign 2 and intriguing backstory involving their creator and former party. Interest only increased when their past caught up to them [[spoiler: and it was revealed they were once ManchurianAgent KillerRobot and elements of this programming remain]] and they attempted to repair their strained relationship with Dancer. However, there were always some who found their therapy attempts naive at best and full of CondescendingCompassion at worst. But the base really shattered when F.C.G committed to becoming a ReligiousRobot for the Changebringer. What seemed to be the end of an arc about finding purpose instead caused them to devolve into a religious fundamentalist bordering on StrawCharacter, right when the campaign's core plot took a RageAgainstTheHeavens bent. There's now heavy divide between those who find this F.C.G [[CrossesTheLineTwice offensively funny]], just plain offensive, or [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot derailing a potentially far more interesting character arc about trauma recovery and/or Aeorean history.]]



** Bell's Hells' [[NayTheist kneejerk antagonism towards the gods]] has proven divisive. One segment of the fandom finds their skepticism towards the Prime Deities refreshing, viewing the divine powers of Exandria as [[JerkassGods self-righteous bullies]], [[GodsHandsAreTied useless bystanders]], and [[KnightTemplar short-sighted zealots]] who [[NiceJobBreakingItHero caused the whole issue with]] [[SealedEvilInACan Predathos]] in the first place, and are justifiably receiving their first [[WhatTheHellHero serious criticism from mortals]] in centuries. Other fans view the Hells as [[EgocentricallyReligious selfish]], [[UngratefulBastard ungrateful]] [[HollywoodAtheist Hollywood Atheists]] who [[EntitledBastard demand divine favor without doing the work of cultivating a relationship with the gods]] (even after attacking a temple, slaughtering an angel and ''summoning a'' ''[[AlwaysChaoticEvil demon]]'' ''while doing so''), [[FlatEarthAtheist ignore centuries of documented historical divine intervention in the world for the better]], and [[WeAreStrugglingTogether refuse to put aside their grievances towards the gods]] despite the fact that [[EvilVersusOblivion even the most callous deity is probably an improvement over a being called "Predathos, the World-Eater."]] Only Orym and Fresh Cut Grass have so far offered a serious defense of the Prime Deities, and F.C.G., being a newly ReligiousRobot, takes the zeal of the converted [[BeliefMakesYouStupid so far]] as to seem like a DeliberatelyBadExample of a cleric.

Added DiffLines:

** Bell's Hells character progression, being essentially the inverse of Campaign 2's Mighty Nein (who started out as mistrusting {{Nominal Hero}}es but gradually developed into TrueCompanions) Bell's Hells initial openness with each-other was at first considered a breath of fresh air and antidote to the SlowPacedBeginning issues Campaign 2 suffered from. As the campaign progressed, however, the Hells fell further into self-destructive habits and toxic mentalities, failing to address their multitude of issues and in some cases making them even worse. It reached a head when Orym, TheHeart and OnlySaneMan of the group, was dragged down with them when fans expected him to lift the others up. Opinions are divided between those who find this dynamic interesting and a change from past campaigns, and those who think it [[TooBleakStoppedCaring makes the party hard to invest in]] and that [[WeAreStrugglingTogether inter-party arguments]] distract the group from making story progress too often.

** Imogen and Laudna's relationship. It has many fans who love how supportive and caring and devoted they are toward each other, but others feel that their codependence is unhealthy in a way that isn't being acknowledged for what it is, and that the lack of any real conflict or movement in their relationship outside of simply "being together" makes it uninteresting and wears out its welcome quickly.

** As soon as Laudna revealed she was from Whitestone, fans started to speculate that she had some connection to the Briarwoods, two popular theories being she was either a necromantic experiment of Delilah’s, or Delilah and Sylas’s daughter. Episode 6 reveals that [[spoiler:she was killed shortly after the coup, and was resurrected by Delilah, who became her patron.

Theories cited his unusual stat spread [[note]]Rogues are FragileSpeedsters, whereas Chetney's highest stat is in [[PintSizedPowerhouse Strength]][[/note]], his unorthodox equipment[[note]]Rogues don't have medium armor proficiency, and Chetney's Armor Class was far too high for anything short of a breastplate[[/note]], and Travis' penchant for being a TrollingCreator. Episode 11 revealed that Chetney is an [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent Order of the Lycan Blood Hunter]], which had been foreshadowed by Chetney's interest in tracking down a werewolf named Gurge, his [[TheNoseKnows suspiciously accurate sense of smell]] and [[HunterOfMonsters knowledge of supernatural creatures]], and Travis' [[AuthorAppeal personal enthusiasm for werewolves]].]]

* BaseBreakingCharacter: Dusk [[spoiler: a.k.a Yu Suffiad]] is an incredibly divisive character, to the point where if you search their name on Google, "Dusk Critical Role annoying" is one of the suggestions. Many fans found their antics hilarious and enjoyed their fun dynamics with the party, especially Laudna and Fearne. Others found the very same antics annoying, slowed plot progression, and messed with Bell's Hells' relationships while they were still developing (see DieForOurShip for one heated example). TheReveal partway through their arc, [[spoiler: that they're a villainous changeling agent in disguise]] didn't exactly help matters. While most agree that [[spoiler: post-InternalReveal Yu is a much more interesting LoveToHate character]], supporters feel [[spoiler: it justifies their earlier behavior as ObfuscatingStupidity]] while to detractors [[spoiler: the façade was too obnoxious and overstayed its welcome]]. The way the reveal was handled is also divisive, with some feeling it would've worked better in a film or TV show than in a D&D game (where most of the table wasn't looped in on the twist until it happened), or was done better by [[spoiler: Bor'Dor]] later on.
* DieForOurShip: A variation. Some detractors of the [[spoiler: Imogen/Laudna]] ship have taken out their frustrations on ''Dusk'', blaming their flirtatious teasing for triggering the GreenEyedEpiphany that eventually led to the ship sailing.

* EpilepticTrees: In Episode 66, the reveal that [[spoiler: Orym grew up with toys made by Chetney]], plus the chemistry between Chetney and Orym's mom, lead some of the cast and fans to wonder if Chetney was somehow Orym's dad, with a couple making Insight Checks to see if they could spot a resemblance. Liam added fuel to the fire, saying Orym had always been a little small even for a halfling. Others wondered if another gnome, such as Scanlan Shorthalt, was Orym's father, or even if Chetney was ''Scanlan's'' father (possible due to Chetney's immense age).
