[@rareoddish]

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.

"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!"

[@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.

[@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

"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!"

[@Macho_Fantastico]

This works way too well.

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.

[@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.
