[@Byeahman]

I love how Dark Urge doesn’t sound angry, he sounds terrified, like he genuinely doesn’t want to be the really evil monster he is.

[@talradlandheart6075]

Dragonborn are generally of a good alignment, so it's likely that he's been corrupted in some manner.

[@butteredpooper7750]

For real though the durges voice actor did a fantastic job there

[@gentleseal1778]

yep, my durge playthrough was a tiefling monk who tries to temper her murderous rage but sometimes it slips through. She's horrified when this happens so she tries her best to do good, but just can't

[@L0ngsword]

Dark Urge sounds a lot more desperate than I imagined, I expected him to be completely unapologetic

[@lotrofan5]

The narrative potential of the Tragic Monster is quite appealing

[@juzoinui899]

Before he lost his memories, he most definitely would be an unapologetic monster. Now though? That's a entirely different story.

[@user-df4kf6fg7h]

I wish all those who go "why even play Dark Urge, if you are not going to pick the evil choices?" would get that. Not that there's anything wrong with enjoying an evil playthrough, but going for the struggle and defiance route is exactly as valid.

[@blacktemplarbrotherlucius1935]

​@@user-df4kf6fg7hWhat is better, to be born good, or to overcome your evil nature through great effort.

[@SplitSight]

@@blacktemplarbrotherlucius1935that’s a familiar quote, who’s that from?

[@Cratmang]

So, if I'm understanding everyone correctly... Astarion: Vampire that wants revenge against his master. Lae'zel: I hate mindflayers I hate mindflayers I hate mindflayers I hate mindflayers I hate Gale: Yeah, I'm a coolass wizard who bedded a literal god, no need to praise me... yet. Shadowheart: On a holy quest to deliver a holy D20. Wyll: I accidentally got a pact with a devil and I want out. Karlach: I'm a soldier of hell who wants to go home. The Dark Urge: The voices in my head tell me to kill, and I want them to stop.

[@MegaRazaele]

Laezel hits me as more naive girl who wants to impress mommy

[@antheathetiefling8581]

Why can i see a DM be like: ok, lets go around the table and introduce your characters...

[@Alleskeins]

Probably because that's the vibe they were going for

[@MetaNiteFM]

Everyone stares uncomfortably at the Durge player. “Is he gonna be a problem?”

[@Motolmang]

the voice acting on the dark urge is 10/10

[@momachill2255]

Dark urge 10/10 acting

[@LeahLovesNature]

I really like this setup! It kind of reminds me of how some Greek dramas and Shakespeare plays begin, with a chorus introducing the main characters and telling you where the story will go. The brilliant voice acting certainly helps; I could imagine each of these characters taking center stage in a theater and reciting these lines before an eagerly awaiting audience, then stepping back so the next character can have their turn. All that's missing is the lovely narrator.

[@blueturtle3623]

I mean that's one way to look at it... Another way is first session the DM goes around the table and has players introduce your character. In fact I'm sure the narrator is meant to function as a DM.

[@ironwolf56]

I like how the artifact in this game is basically a big D20

[@privateuser3726]

That gale story, this MF managed to hook up with a goddess and somehow fumble that relationship

"Receiving Mystra's booty call" is like a lvl. 9 pussymancy spell. Hard to achieve, but by no means impossible

[@HADEZFIRE147]

“My name is Shadowheart. Loyal servant of Shar” *scoffs*

[@ten5h1]

Okay … Astarion: the veteran player who knows just how much BS the DM will put up with. Lae’zel: The player who’s bursting out of their comfort zone to play a badass character. Gale: the nerdy bookworm who would totally build a robot if he could. Shadowheart: the new player who has no idea how to create a backstory, so the DM made one for her. Wyll: the normally quiet guy who gets bullied, but doesn’t let it dampen his spirits. Karlach: the tomboy punk that people are afraid of, but is a real sweetheart deep down, and can let that softness show around her friends. Maybe defends Wyll’s player from bullies. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Dark Urge: the jock who is also new to the game and had the brilliant idea to play a chaotic evil character that doesn’t know they’re chaotic evil until they fail saving throws.

[@MrLugoku]

After finishing the game i can say i recommed playin'g as the Dark Urge (Plus you can customize him or she)

[@eviltoad746]

Man, for how short it is, The Dark Urge's voice acting managed to be one of the most impactful things in a game chock full of impactful things

[@Karomix3]

I like how Astarion has both Intelligence and Wisdom at 13, unlike the others who always have 1 higher than the other, in some other case, one a lot more than the other, suggesting he's one of the most sensible in mind out there, given Lae'Zel has lower wisdom and intelligence, Gale has higher intelligence but lower wisdom, Shadowheart has the opposite of Gale in those as what Gale has in intelligence is her wisdom and what he has in wisdom is her intelligence, Wyll has the same number as Asterion for intelligence but lower wisdom, Karlach also has lower intelligence and wisdom as well, even the dark urge has a few points behind too. Astarion has 200 years backing him up and when he's not the one doing stuff for fun or protect himself he's the first one complaining about how everyone else are weirdos, best seen with an impersonator, where he complains he can't notice if someone's been replaced and half the reason is because they're already all weirdos. XD

[@MinnowTF]

Yeah yeah yeah I get how the lore matters but respec them all into having 8 intelligence

[@Karomix3]

@@MinnowTF You mean all the guys have 8 of strenght, right? Seriously even the Dark Urge has it. Shadowheart has 13 of strenght for some reason meaning she's more strong than Astarion, guess vampire spawns are not made for strenght but for speed and agility more.

[@CreativeUsernameEh]

Canonically the narrator says Astarion is a smoother brained than the rest of the companions.

[@Karomix3]

@@CreativeUsernameEh Yes, he's not much of a detail person, to be fair given he hadn't had to think for himself for 200 years and all the abuse on it I can understand he's rusty. Best shown when you first meet him, he asks you to help him kill a mind flayer, only to think that we're a thrall, if we were a thrall we wouldn't think of trying to kill a mind flayer. XD Still he does have braincells. Just not used to using them after 200 years.

[@Break0fdawn]

I thought karlach was gonna be a bad bitch based on what wyll said. But upon meeting, the complete opposite.

[@EvelynNdenial]

so dark urge is a bhaalspawn then? the symbol is right there under him during the cutscene. basically the main character.

[@diegoundreiner6392]

Yessir, he was planned to be the one and only custom character but the devs thought differently

[@scrapkingkeita3825]

I think if memory serves, the reason was because they thought the Urge mechanic of randomly controlling your choices would be too frustrating for new players @@diegoundreiner6392

[@jimstoesz3878]

I understand why the Dark Urge is fully customizable, but I really do feel like anything other than the default voice and appearance is a strict downgrade.

[@inframatic]

They really directed that actors to use their hands and arms when they talk, didnt they

[@fangzntalonz]

Probably, gotta make the long conversations more visually interesting. Gale and Astarion are the extreme ends of it, I think.

[@thetypicallifeofcousins2703]

Neil Newbon did the mocap for all these introductory sequences

[@chrisdaughen5257]

I like the illithid effect around their heads at the start and end of the introductions. Spoilers: It's as if the Emperor is suspending the Absolute's influence to gauge their personality and see if they're good enough to use against the Absolute.

[@shyviking]

To anyone saying "faces and facial expressions are too hard to animate", watch how it is done here. Astarion's and SH's faces and expressions are especially well-made, IMO.

[@thecheck968]

You know, this is my first time watching all these back to back since I first heard about the game. Since then, I beat it twice. And wow, is it weird remembering my first impression of each character. It's bittersweet remembering a time I didn't know how stories would unfold and seeing how completely lost they all started, with neither them or myself able to see it at the time.

[@IvanGarcia-xy7bf]

You can use a extra controller 🎮 on ps5 two use guest option and have to mains in the party at the same time and just log out the controller and you can manage the second character like any other companion, trying the origin characters mains is alot of fun honestly it gives you a unique look into the mind of the characters and unique cut scenes

[@nicholasfarrell5981]

DUrge is (soft) canonically a Sorcerer? Not what I expected, honestly.

[@LinTekKim]

Or a Vengeance Paladin since they have one of his promotional artwork as such, and some dialogue about how/why he was able to become one with the OB knight.

[@MyUsernameIsGoofy]

Honestly if they canonically multiclassed, Durge would 100% be a Paladin/Sorcerer. You're trying to say that the guy with muscles thicker than a tree isn't a martial class?
