American Psycho in Baldur's Gate 3

[@readyforlol]

The light matching at 1:01 is pure insanity. The perfect chosen indeed.

[@JudgeNicodemus]

I'm glad I'm not the only one appreciating it.

[@Weatherman4Eva]

Fuck I didn't see that, the creator is crazy

[@damo8791]

thank you for pointing it out. eli's work is so good i forget to appreciate how great things are because its so expected

[@HeyManni]

i've been trying to figure this out! in my projects i can never get the clips to colour grade and match the other clip! he does it brilliantly

[@trafficking2596]

I noticed that as well. Although I think it is actually from the movie. He's walking down a hallway with a bunch of open office doors on the right of him.

[@Maxikon1]

The most sane walkthrough for Dark Urge

[@Dracobyte]

Indeed!!

[@Xandersama]

"Impressive, very nice. Let's see Gale's spell book. My God.... the variations, oh my God... he even has a Basket summon!"

How did he find out about the basket summoning necklace 😮

[@georgesturua5394]

The moment "why isn't it possible" killed me

Clown make-up caught me off-guard

[@LAFORGUS]

I laughed so hard at this, i shouldn't have watched this at work!

[@IrisGlowingBlue]

The very metaphorically loud facepaint vs. how quiet dude is hissing it is great

[@crowcorvinus3173]

......."You stupid Bastard ! "

[@DMAN99]

Patrick banging whilst his party watch and Astarion just giving the most “what are you doing?“ face with Patrick pointing is just beautiful.

[@patrickbateman3146]

Impressive. Very nice.

[@patrickbateman3146]

Let's see Paul Allen's BG3 playthrough.

[@RKroese]

​@@patrickbateman3146Look at the subtle skill set. The tasteful selection of it. Oh my god. It even has perception +4!

[@Yertle_Turtle]

Me: immediately starts over as Human Rogue Assassin Patrick Bateman

[@NecoLumi]

He is LITERALLY the Dark Urge

[@oedipamaas2067]

LITERALLY

[@babydragon4813]

Even Astarion is like "fucking hells...this guy's fucked up"

[@eggproductions9683]

He just like me fr

[@Dookie5495]

Patrick Bhaalman is perfect for an evil Durge character. Eli done brillant work again.

[@taliag09]

I actually just made a Patrick bhaalman thanks to you :) I just started but I began with him as a bard (cause he loves music and has high charisma) and will multi with rogue so he can assassinate people. Excited to see where it takes me

[@HeisenbergFam]

Patrick fits Baldur's Gate really well, considering how unhinged characters can be in that game

[@ForeverTraitor]

The Dark Urge especially

[@Dracobyte]

The Real Dark Urge protagonist!

[@CrizzyEyes]

The Bhaal tattoo was such a good touch

[@MrAeral]

Exactly!

[@KneGros-nc1ss]

"in reality, I don't mind zoophilia, infact, I indulge myself within it, cats, dogs, crabs, they're all up for grabs. Its all legal, just cause its actually a 2000 year old druid, just like loli vampires in anime" -least psychopathic animal fucking BG3 player

[@SacredDaturaa]

Look at the seamless intercutting. The tasteful selection of clips. Oh my god, it even has matching lighting.

[@EndThusIAm]

"A tale so catchy, most people probably don't understand the theme. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of the weave and the importance of magic. It's also a personal statement about the Goddess herself. Hey, Gale!"

[@DeathnoteBB]

NOO NOT GALE 😭

[@EndThusIAm]

@@DeathnoteBB It was either him or Astarion, and Gale had the more Paul sounding name! Hahaha!

🎶 It's hip to be square...!🎶

[@PierceArner]

DURGE Bateman & Sarevok leading the slaughter of all of Faerûn for Lord Bhaal. He's a perfect candidate, and this was fantastically well done as always!

[@keeganbate8935]

*single tear of pride falls from Sarevoks eye*

[@MrAeral]

I agree

[@freshcoffeebug]

It's a shame this was uploaded after Important Videos was finalized, it's really good

[@exception05]

I didn't played BG3 yet, but I will, but I think there is a flaw. If Cyric is still alive, he fits better the insanity of Patrick Bateman and he's also is (or was? didn't played BG3) a Lord of Murder since he killed Bhaal and aquired his sphere of influence. Anyway, there is no Patrick Bateman in Faerun, so it's just about fitting of Patrick Bateman. And we all know that he just want to fit in.

[@PierceArner]

@@exception05 This is why you should play the game before you speculate. BG3 takes place over a century after BG2, and not only is there no indication that Cyric still retains any significant power at all, rather it's quite the opposite to that. There's only one obscure murderous entity who makes reference to being a follower of Cyric in the entire game, meanwhile Bhaal and the other dead three have full control over their respective domains again. As those no longer fall under Cyric's sphere of influence at all, there's no flaw in this portrayal as you had incorrectly assumed.

[@mauser98kar]

1:05 - The sheer contempt on Karlach's and Astarion's faces.

[@armery3009]

This moment killed me 😂

[@Boeing-777-X]

Larian's early games were a little new wave for my taste, but when Baldur's Gate 3 came out in 23, I think they really came into their own.

[@metetural9140]

"eurojank" would fit better than new wave imo

[@兄ちゃん-g9z]

Eh, I enjoyed DOS2 more than BG3

[@jordanwindham3804]

Commercially and artistically.

[@AntiGravityC9]

please don't refer to years in this century by just their last 2 digits for at least 30 more years, I can't take it

[@alexstaysgold]

[@JunkPhuJP]

That walk through the sun lit hallway. That bedroom scene with the reflections and Asterion’s expression. *chef’s kiss* your editing powers have doubled recently…

[@mattyh6837]

Good twice the power double the likes

[@jojosoni]

Must have been the editing ring or necklace of editing

[@mandarin4679]

"You like Alfira? Her early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when The Bard Dance came out in '91, I think she really came into her own, commercially and artistically. The whole performance has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. She's been compared to Milil, but I think Alfira has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor. In '92, Alfira released this, The Power, her most accomplished album. I think her undisputed masterpiece is "Raphael's Final Act", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself. HEY WULBREN!"

[@kirkgriff5117]

LOL sir, I dont regret the read. Not just Wulbren, name any other tosser npc here too, hmm Balthazar, Zrell, pretty much 90 percent of the druids from the grove XD

[@DetectiveNyx]

"TRY TAKING OVER BALDUR'S GATE WITH THE IRONHAND GNOMES NOW, YOU FUCKING STUPID BASTARD!!"

[@anthonyhiebert8491]

0:00 There's something so hilariously in-character about Bateman listening to his Walkman right in front of a minstrel, openly ignoring their music in favour of his own

[@UncleBoss-cr1cb]

He doesn't really like live music after all.

[@zunilbo5445]

He can't keep getting away with this. These edits are so top tier it's insane.

[@KeithFraser82]

Deserving of a reservation at Dorsia!

[@oldbroken1]

"I have to return some magic scrolls."

[@GorgBlack]

The perfect character to play for the Dark Urge

[@HazelwithaZ]

It's not just the editing, it's the clips that are chosen, too. Perfection. 🏆🏆🏆

[@sweggieboi4928]

He fits so well as the Dark Urge

Aren't you somethin' to admire? 'Cause your shine is somethin' like a mirror

[@Liesmith424]

Most lore-accurate Baldur's gate protagonist.

[@HalfLifeHalfDead]

This is such a beautiful, PERFECT fit. A lot of channels have started doing these kinds of videos. None of these can come even close to what you are doing, both in terms of editing and pure creativity.

[@CyberBeep_kenshi]

"I have to return some scrolls" or "oh my Bhaal, it even has a wizard lock"?

[@bradbee9874]

You are way to good at finding two random things and smashing them together But honestly can't imagine how it all comes together A common man has an idea. A craftsman actually makes something from the idea

[@emmanew3226]

WHY DOES IT WORK SO WELL

[@Darkshadow7827]

Baldurian Psycho. Love it.. It's official. You know what you just did Eli. Someone is gonna mod him into the game now hahahaa. Also, Bateman is based calling Akabi a stupid bastard haha. Damn Djinn! Durge - Patrick Bateman Class: Wall Street Investment Banker Race: Human Background: Noble (IIRC he came from a rich family), Charlatan, Criminal, Psycho (Durge) Abillity Points: Debatable I would say STR: 12 DEX: 12 CON: 12 INT: 14 WIS: 10 CHA: 16 Skills: I would say Sleight of Hand +5 Stealth +5 Insight +2 Perception +2 Deception +5 Intimidation +3 Performance +5 Persuasion +5

[@kpakozebro2258]

0:45 Looks like this will become legendary.

[@nickmattio3397]

“I have to return some video tapes.”

[@WolfyFancyLads]

Oh that is pure genius, I didn't even think of Bateman for the Dark Urge. And the genie part was an unexpected comedy amidst a somewhat dark edit. Gotta say, you've normally done comical "X in Y" videos, but you've handled dark excellently. Really captured the sinister mood of both a psychopath and a Bhaal spawn.

[@nadirbaitsaleem7270]

This was such a great combo, if I ever do a Dark Urge playthrough I'm going to model the character as Patrick Bateman 😂

[@RF-INF]

Okay that Bhaalspawn tattoo was just a chef's touch, you are amazing!

[@PleaseHold-il5eq]

This is just beatiful. Perfect for a Dark Urge replay of BG3.

[@EnnuiOwO]

Astarion's miserable face in the mirror is wild

[@patrickthehenchman2679]

Between this and The Penguins, the mindflayer just can't catch a break, can they?

[@gho5trun3r68]

I'm a little disappointed this wasn't longer. There's so much potential with American Psycho in BG3

[@Fatcaterpillar]

this IS the Dark Urge run I been wanting to see

[@AramilsMusic]

This definetely is your magnum opus. It fits so perfectly well.

[@jackstone9569]

"You like Lihala? Her early work was a little too sea shanty for my taste, but when Elturel descended in 1492, I think she really came into her own, commercially and artistically. Her compositions have a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. She's been compared to Volo, but I think Lihala has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor. In '92, Lihala released this, her most accomplished songbook. I think her undisputed masterpiece is 'the weeping dawn.' A song so ethereally beautiful, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should. Because it's not just about survivor's guilt and the burden of mortality, it's also a personal statement about the bard herself! HEY ALFIRA!"

[@tinius9276]

It helps that one of the elf faces for original characters look exactly like him as well. I remember in the early access I did a full 1st act run through where I made Patrick Bateman both in spirit and looks. Such a good concept.

[@cruz1ale]

Gale: Minor Illusion. Mysterious, intriguing. Pale, glowing outline. Tav: Impressive... Very nice... Let's see Astarion's cantrip.

[@Macho_Fantastico]

This works way too well.

[@vyshakhanand1565]

Oh my gawd the clown makeup😂 this edit is so hardcore.

[@breezyimpressions]

Unironically the edit that needs the least editing to make the character fit Bateman pretty much is unredeemed Durge.

[@booleanon6376]

This is the isekai story we didn't deserve.

[@Smartaleckcomedy]

The amount of editing expertise on display in these videos is always impressive, great job.

[@DannyBPlays]

It's cool to bring back an old classic in a new game and new editing. A few character suggestions for a future video would be: Anchorman or Napoleon Dynamite

[@Tuille-fo2di]

I would love Napoleon Dynamite in a few minutes of gorgeous editing.

[@amaraleksandr2645]

Anchorman! “Cannonball!”

[@ch3shire]

Ron Burgundy would fit wonderfully into the Barbie movie

[@Stormtrooper-fv7dr]

Ron Burgundy would fit anywhere. That man never miss!

[@MrJacobElias]

The actor for Napoleon Dynamite also did a few interviews in character so there is quite alot of material there.

[@dacarrots3886]

The 3 types of dark urge I've seen so far XD 1. Sociopath who enjoys it 2. Depressed who hates it 3. And the sphycopath who just does it

[@VTheGonk]

The editing is Preem as usual! Its clear you understand world and characters you mash together! Thats what makes your videos stand out from the others. Love it!

This would be the game trailer I need watch to buy this game. Nice work 👍🏼

[@LouisWritingSomethingCrazy]

Damn....that was cold. This is one of your better ones.

[@eatyourmommy]

On my second playthrough I chose Dark Urge, created a character similar to Patrick, found some kind of axe and walked around with it until the end of the game, cutting down EVERYONE along the way.

[@Maxikingallright93]

Its actually kinda sad, that very few people play and complete the dark urge story line and even fewer choose the blood lust way. BL Durge hase a very distinct and unique path in this game. I played Durge as my first playthrough and I played it (random and by accident) from trying to resist the urge to giving in to it, going full Baal daddy in the end. Watching to unfold this his/her story and having no clue whats going on like Durge was very different and great playing experience and wouldn't have had it any other way for my first run.

[@KaneAmaroq]

I don't like inflicting pain on innocent people or people I like, so there's no appeal to me, literally noting to gain from watching it. I imagine most people feel the same.

[@AeridisArt]

Full-blown evil Durge was the first run I finished, and out of the 6 runs I've done so far, he is still my favorite. So much so, that I make him my Dream Visitor for every new run I do in order to honor him. This game was made to be explored and people are doing themselves a disservice by not exploring the evil path at least once.

[@requiem5151]

A lot of "gamers" these days are soft, I cannot imagine how someone can be so delusional as to actually feel remorse or similar bullsh*t when playing an evil character. Well, I guess there's people for everything nowadays and you have to understand BG3 has attracted all kinds of people, from hardcore gamers to people who play The Sims 4 and want to create pretty characters and kiss Astarion... It is what it is.
