As if anyone venturing into a playthrough with 's Dark Urge needed a reminder of the Origin character's disturbing background, there is one particular item that really drives it home. Throughout any Dark Urge playthrough there are hints and clues that they might not come from the happiest of circumstances, contrasting sharply with the custom character Tav. However, there is one item found early in the game that takes this dark depravity to a whole new level.

The Dark Urge is just one of seven Origin characters in with predefined backstories, alongside favorites like Shadowheart, Astarion and Gale. As the game progresses, more about the backstory of this strange character is revealed, tying in wonderfully with the main plot. From the beginning of the Dark Urge has some questionable choices that differ from any other playable character, but one item in Act 1 perhaps illustrates that the best.
Can just one item out of potentially thousands in a massive game prove the Dark Urge's true depravity? It can when that item’s name is Roasted Dwarf Belly, but to be fair, there is also Roasted Dwarf Leg and Ribs too. These culinary delights are only found in one area of and can only be eaten by the Dark Urge, hinting at the Origin's disturbing past.
When arriving at the Goblin Camp in Act 1, the party will find the goblins in the middle of a celebration. Those who have taken the peaceful route are welcome to join the festivities, and there is plenty of food and drink on offer, including several pieces of a roasted dwarf. It soon becomes apparent that this was Brian, the dwarf who was once part of Aradin’s adventuring crew, who the goblins have cooked.

Only the Dark Urge can eat this «food,» with any other companions refusing due to the taboo nature of the delicacy. But given that the Roasted Dwarf has better healing than some of the healing spells at this stage in, it is worth even those attempting a «good» Dark Urge playthrough to pick up a few pieces.
Keeping some Roasted Dwarf on hand is also a good idea, because they don’t take an action or bonus action to use. This makes them fantastic for battle in place of potions in , as several can be eaten one after the other to heal a Dark Urge character. Using the Roasted Dwarf in this way can make tough fights so much easier, especially in the early stages of the game.

Throughout players' adventures through the Forgotten Realms, Tav can recruit an assortment of colorful companions to their side, each one bringing their own unique backstory and baggage that must be carefully handled. While the recruitable allies are all beloved in their own right, one villainous member may have been just a stretch too far.
Every morning when I turn on my computer, I do what everybody else surely does: my Neopets dailies. I spin the Fruit Machine; I visit Coltzan’s Shrine; and most importantly, I go to the Secret Laboratory Ray and zap my pet.
Days Gone is that zombie x motorbike open world game (except they were at pains to point out that Freakers weren't zombies) that Sony did for PS4 in 2019, and ported to PC in 2021 - both years after people were done with Sons Of Anarchy as a thing. As alluded to in The Maw this week, there hasn't been much news out of Bend Studios since then, but they're now hiring for a lead project manager for "crafting our next high-profile AAA title."

Through players' adventures through the Forgotten Realms, the voice of the narrator, played by veteran actor Amelia Tyler, accompanies every major decision and moment in the story, chronicling every action and choice.
