    A beautiful dream unrealized. Yet, do not call it impossible, for some sunny day, it will surely come to pass if you never falter or turn aside from your path

    He got not a single C on it
    Two B+'s an A. Basically Mordred but with better instantaneous CON, MGI and LUC.
    But then Mordred has better skills. Gawain has Siegfried tier skills.

    I think it was Malory that explicitly said Lamorak was the third best knight after Tristan and Lancelot; incidentally, those two always sidestepped over who was stronger by avoiding fighting each other and if they did, it was because they didn't know at the time but they always figure out eventually. (And that everyone was racist to the Cornish except Tristan)

    And that Gawain had to gang up on him with his brothers and stab him in the back because Lamorak was banging his mommy, who Gaheris (or was it Aggravaine?) murdered the hell out of.

    And Pelleas being ranked makes sense since that was the dude that was beating Arthur's shit in until he got Excalibur.

    @You: Maybe you should clarify it as Skills, since the other could be understood as better fighting skills.

    Numeral of the Saint still is a massive game changer

    Its true that most activity in HGW takes place on the night, but Gawain obviously is going to play to his strengths

    If he can get past all the defenses, a well timed march towards Einzbern Castle can be completely devastating

    Yeah but at night time he has siegfried tier Personal skills.
    I thought the whole point of your post was to discount Numeral of the Saint.

    Every brother except Garet participated in that act because was consistently depicted as most decent of the bunch.

    Yeah, Gareth also loved Lancelot.

    Which makes what happened delicious irony.

    Most activity in a proper HGW is going to be at night, Galatine is powerful but has a huge area-of-effect radius, making it impractical to use in a covert fashion without causing a Fuyuki Fire every night, and take those two away and he's just Saber Lite.

    He's amazing with Leo in eternal noon time when Everything's Sunny with Harways, but I wonder how practical he'd actually be.
    At night he's still one of the best stat-wise, and Excalibur Galatine's AOE extends only as far as he visualizes it. (13 KM is the max, not the minimum.)

    Then for a third of the time he's basically invincible.

    There's no actual downside to summoning Gawain unless you really care about night-time personal skills for some reason.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Oh also he's one of the few Servants that will go along with basically anything and doesn't mind exploiting the fuck out of his invincibility cheat, so you can totally go "What are implied rules lol?" and drop him on the enemy base during one of his godmode hours.

    He can't cook well. That's a flaw.

    Gawain. He was the chef for the Round Table but he was a vegetarian so everyone was sad at dinner time.
    Shirou should be thanking Gawain.

    Well there's your problem: Prototype isnt a thing yet.

    I guess you could call it the ever distant utopia or something.

    its not that Prototype isnt a thing yet, its just that Proto-Saber is a prototype in the anime/movie sense,in that he`s better than the mass production model

    I think Utopia is the wrong term because it implies that Prototype would be good and not just a mess.

    I think someone else needs to gather nasu's ideas and write it (obviously with nasu handing out some random basophilic dialogues). Actually nasu just need a huge writing team where he can be mushroom dictator. Does anyone else want to learn his true identity?

    Does it have Gilgamesh?

    If yes, it's good.

    Sadly it doesn't have the actual good Gilgamesh, instead it has some dude that takes days just to try to drown you unsuccessfully.
