The very thing he wanted to use to destroy the world was used on him, and now for you evil folks, well you are now a god of death, but not the only one. Make that the case. This seems like such a far more fun thing then being some trifling "Legend" besides you wouldn't be the first Bhaalspawn to resist Bhaal. This is obviously all headcanon nonsense but ultimately being typical "Good" isn't always a compelling story.

For me this song is all about being a returning Baldur's Gate 2 player. I destroyed Bhaal once before.... and I am more than capable of doing it again. Maybe he's the big bad scary murder God for the city.... but for me, he's the pest who refuses to admit that he's been beaten.

[@jordantakahiro5481]

I usurped him in my playthrough. Also technically Bhaal was already dead in The first two Baldur’s Gate games having been murdered by Cyric a few years before the game. Bhaal created the Bhaalspawn his children to be used as sacrifices for his resurrection. At the end of Throne of Bhaal the canon ending has you refusing to use his dark power and become the next Lord of Murder. It was confirmed in one the books that the canon version of Gorion’s Ward the protagonist of the first two games died to the slayer. His death brought Bhaal back to life as a quasi-deity meaning he is not a full deity. Thus explaining why he is alive in BG3 which takes place several years after the events of the first two games.

[@dantederi5062]

I like to imagine the returning players is some kind of entity that guides the characters into motion, so in a way we are returning in the story

[@nottegiew]

You've never played the first two games obviously.

[@garrycotton7094]

​@@nottegiewWhy? He is quite correct if you choose the ascension ending. And even if you choose not to ascend, Gorion's Ward did a number on Bhaal regardless as Bhaal is a shadow of his former self. He's barely even a god at this point.

[@Can_O_Crayola]

Jaheira certainly seems to have this attitude regarding Bhaal, and especially Sarevok. Just one more upjumped god who just doesn't get it, that he's never going to be top dog and there will always be heroes and even his own kin to turn on him.

[@Aedrion-]

1:29 - The favoured child of Bhaal, no matter if they're resisting the urge or not, has returned to the temple to wash away the pretender in a tidal wave of blood. No matter what else they've done, for this moment, Orin faces not some do-good adventurer but death incarnate, come to teach her what a proper offering to a death god looks like. Badass.

My Dark Urge (on Tactician) was a Selûnite Cleric 1/Evocation Wizard 10 when he faced Orin. There was no duel, only an execution. I got to go first in initiative. I used Perilous Stakes as a bonus action, it landed. Then with my action I cast Cirriculum of Strategy: Artistry of War. Orin melted into a puddle of blood and gore not 6 seconds after her transformation and the start of the duel. I then told Bhaal that I'd rather die than continue living a life where he can possess me on a whim

Without the influence of the BG2 party to shape her worldview, she returned to Shar, who placed Viconia viciously under her thumb. In that context it makes more sense.

The strength it takes to resist the bloodlust and reject the power people like Bhaal, Gortash, the Emperor and Cazador all have to offer either me or my companions could never compare to the freedom we'd get in comparison for rejecting them all. This theme encapsulates both the fight for one's freedom or their return to power.

But the moment I faced Orin in duel, having the Slayer within me, ready to unleash my revenge on her for what she had done to my character. I wasn't full evil but this moment.... Damn it felt so fulfilling and powerful. It wasn't about being loyal to Bhaal, it was about vengeance.

[@scrittle]

Defeated Orin first try even with the cultists praying in Sanctuary. Aggro'd all the cultists to attack the party with AoE spells, and eventually left Orin completely defenceless. She may be a bloodthirsty sociopath-psychopath, but she's no more bloodthirsty than the protagonist on a diplomatic run.

The moment everyone realize that you are the biggest threat to Faerun...

[@heomji7216]

*For the first time over a century, silence falls over the Bhaal Temple. No chants, no screams, no prayers. In the end, your own death has brought you more joy than any you wrought on this land. You are slipping into peaceful oblivion. But your journey is not over.* "Thou hast defied Bhaal, thy liege and father, and in doing so hast earned a place amongst champions and heroes. But alas, thy courage was in opposition to the divine cosmology that bound thee to the Lord of Murder. Thou art now faithless - godless - and doomed to wonder the Fugue plane for eternity. I will not permit that, though all the powers of life and death dictate that it should be so. I, too, still hold some power, and I invest a portion of it in thee, who hath challenged the gods, and now liveth to tell of it. Thy fight is not over, and it is thy fight, for one who can look upon Bhaal and oppose him can survive any crisis. *So rise, Challenger of Gods, and prepare for battle once more. Death will not claim thee whilst I endure.* " I was so AMAZED watching that scene. My bronze dragonborn fighter being resurrected by Jergal as his chosen, I felt like I wanted to tell as loud as I could : *BHAAL, YOU TRIED TO MAKE ME KILL EVERY SINGLE FRIEND I'VE MADE, NOW I AM COMING FOR YOU !* The chills in this game man. That's how you become an Oath of Vengeance proper paladin. Fucking epic.

[@Deadpan_Snarker]

Why do you think we became Jergal's Chosen? 🤔

[@heomji7216]

@@Deadpan_Snarker Well, careful because I'm gonna spoil everything to make my point. So if you wanne do a good Dark Urge playthrough (by good I mean fighting your brutal urge), don't read this. When you play as the Dark Urge, but you are actually fighting your urges, Bhaal forces you into a duel with Orin in his temple below Baldur's Gate. When you win, Bhaal starts to speak directly to you and offers you his "gift" of incredible power, revealing he's your father, and that your lust for butchery actually comes from the fact part of your blood is the Lord of Murder's. If you refuse the power he wants to give you however, rejecting him and telling him to fuck himself up, he takes it quite badly and directly kills you with his divine powers, instantly (like Vlaakith can do, but Bhaal is actually a real god). However, in the minute that follows, Withers appears and revives you, saying what I quoted earlier : he believes that you can be a champion to stop the Dead Three, and he trespasses all divine directives and rules by basically ignoring them, reviving you to fight Bhaal again. When you know about D&D lore, and who is Jergal, it becomes more obvious with time in the game that Withers IS Jergal, the ancient, most powerful god of death, who wanted to retire when Baine, Bhaal and Myrkul, three evil-aligned power-thirsty mortals tried to take him down. But, Jergal stayed to help "manage" the path of mortal souls in the realms of the afterlife. Although he kept most of his powers, because he didn't have to give much to the Dead Three to give them godhood, as he was maybe the most powerful god in D&D lore at the time. Jergal's always been for balance, and the Dead Three messing up with their divine powers for power AGAIN (because they already did that before with the Time of Troubles and all of that stuff), that started to piss the others gods off, that's why Withers was sent. And he's the perfect choice, because, even if you don't know D&D lore, you can find in Baldur's Gate graveyard a book that actually describes a Jergal appearance to a mortal, telling him "what is the worth of a single mortal's life ?". This is the exact question Withers asks you when you find him in the crypt just next to the nautiloid crash site. This actually confirms that Withers is Jergal. Jergal is resurrecting you despite all the rules he's ignoring and it seems pretty obvious that he chooses you, especially, and grants you powers then, if no others gods do it too because it would be likely, seeing what is happening around.

[@heomji7216]

@@Deadpan_Snarker if you don't want to read all of my stuff, basically, the game tells you that Withers is Jergal, and the guy I quoted was Jergal resurrecting you after Bhaal directly kills you if you reject him as Dark Urge.

[@Deadpan_Snarker]

​@@heomji7216Yes, I know all this, I just wondered why you think we are his Chosen. He resurrects us, but I don't think it has ever been stated that we are his Chosen. He simply did it as reward for your sacrifice and because you still have BG to save.

[@heomji7216]

@@Deadpan_Snarker well, it's true that the game doesn't say it clearly, but a god investing a portion of his own powers in you is equivalent to Mystra when she gave Midnight (an adventurer who was with Kelemvor and Cyric when all of them were still mortals) many powers, like when Baine gave Fzoul Chembryl many powers too, they were clearly chosen of their respective gods. Jergal finally taking a side in history is really exceptionnal, and his powers are great, probably even greater than Kelemvor's, even today. Him telling that he "still holds some power" is an understatement, because he was so powerful at the beginning that he can easily keep what is necessary to make things right if someone ever makes shit with his powers. That's why I consider it's totally believable that at this point, you are not only a hero, not only a paladin gifted with divine magic, but also a champion chosen by Jergal and perhaps most of the other good and neutral aligned gods and godesses.

i didn’t play as the dark urge bc i didn’t know it was customizable till too late, but even still no moment in gaming has been as truly satisfying for me as when, after worrying sick about her for WEEKS both in-game and irl and struggling for hours to allow jaheira to finally send sarevok to the grave once and for all, my character FINALLY freed lae’zel from her chains just as the beat dropped at 1:08, the music seeming to say “the odds are in your favor now… END THIS.” i then watched as lae’zel lowered orin’s unstoppable count from 2… to 1… to 0…… and finished her off with a powerful CRIT soulbreaker. vengeance served in the best possible way with the perfect soundtrack to accompany it.
