One Early Dark Urge Decision Completely Kills Off A Key Origin Character
19.10.2023 - 19:21 / screenrant.com
It's possible to burn a lot of bridges in a Dark Urge playthrough of , but one early choice stands out by killing off an Origin character altogether in a way that might not be obvious. The Dark Urge offers a way to play with a custom character and still have a specific backstory, although it's not the right fit for every campaign. Plagued by murderous impulses, the Dark Urge is frequently challenged to resist a violent path, which can put some key NPCs in harm's way.

Even when playing a regular custom character, it's not hard to miss out on some of 's potential party members. Although non-Origin characters Halsin and Minthara can both be recruited, for example, it's clear that they aren't actually intended to be in the same party. Even party members who aren't mutually exclusive can be easily left behind, as recruitment is entirely optional across the board. Origin characters can all be met aboard the Nautilus or around the crash site, but it's possible to skip over any of them either intentionally or accidentally.
Gale makes his first appearance stuck inside of an Ancient Sigil Circle, reaching out a hand for help. Different subclasses have some specific interactions here, but the general possibilities are to initiate conversation, slap the hand, attempt to pull him out, or leave him inside. The Dark Urge, however, offers the impulse to simply cut off the outstretched hand. The absurdity of this choice likely makes it appealing for many Dark Urge players, but its consequences are much deeper than simply making Gale lose the hand.

It's possible to play through most of a campaignafter chopping off Gale's hand without knowing what became of him, but Act 3 can reveal his fate. The Bhaalspawn Sarevok will measure the worthiness of a protagonist upon meeting them, and any Dark Urge that let their worst impulses get the better of them will be shown an image of Gale and asked what killing him was like. This implies more than just malicious neglect, so it's likely that Gale died directly from blood loss, although there are numerous ways that his fate could have ultimately come about.
Locking off Gale from a playthrough as the Dark Urge is surprisingly easy, as the option is presented as fantasizing about murdering the wizard. It doesn't take long to understand that the Dark Urge's fantasies can manifest quickly and violently, but meeting Gale is often the moment that teaches that lesson rather than something encountered after learning it. Killing him off entirely is a somewhat heavy price to pay for this transgression, although there are still plenty of other companions to

It’s absolutely worth playing Baldur’s Gate 3’s Dark Urge campaign
Baldur’s Gate 3 is such a dense and rich game that completing the campaign even once is a feat. But doing just one playthrough means you inevitably miss out on certain paths and branches in the game. There are few differences so extreme as doing your next playthrough as the Dark Urge. The Dark Urge is an origin character, found in the same part of character creation as our good friends Shadowheart, Astarion, Lae’zel, Wyll, and Karlach. Now that Baldur’s Gate 3 has been out for long enough for fans to compare and contrast between campaigns, it’s worth taking the time to recognize how dang cool the Dark Urge is.
