ALL Companions React To Dark Urge Bhaal Choices - Baldur's Gate 3 

*Accepting Baahl* Some Companions: Ugh you suck now 🙄 Other companions: Yay we're cooler and more powerful now! 🥳😈 Gale: Well... it is what it is lol 🤷‍♂️

It broke my heart when Minsc said do not look Boo it is our friend no longer. I had to reload lol

With Jaheira and Minsc it feels like my mom and uncle are proud of me

I wonder what went through Bhaal's mind when Withers revives you. I imagined it was more like ".... what the fuck just happened here?"

God, hearing Minthara expressing her feelings about everything she's been through and how she empathizes with us makes me feel really bad about killing her.

Astarions reactions might be locked under romancing him, I had unique lines after rejecting where he’s supportive and says he only ever saw you as yourself

damm... Mintharas last words cut deep...

I love Minthara so much. Such a shame she is apparently still bugged, she provides both amazing in-universe insight as well as a very well written and layered character.

Hm. Gale to me feels not like he’s approving or disapproving, just giving in to the nature of being “chosen.” He feels more like someone with religious trauma than anything else. Just sort’ve… resigned to some ultimate truth that Gods can’t be defied. “This is what it is, this is what will happen. I know it from experience. Good luck.”

I love how for not accepting the Urge, everyone is all “f yeah!!! You rejected it!!! Let’s go celebrate!!!” after ALL the stuff ya went through to fight it, and even getting close to killing a few of your companions. Just makes it feel like Dark Urge was the canon approach for Tav which definitely might be my next run!

Every other character: im proud of you Laezel: you are you

"To be a vessel of murder itself, I can think of nothing less natural" - MFW honeybadger

Not me giggling, kicking my feet like a schoolgirl hearing Karlach being so proud of Tav, omfg, I would reject Bhaal a thousand times just to hear her be so happy for me 🥺🥺🥺🤧🤧🤧

Minthara hates bhall but disapproves of you rejecting bhall doesn't make sense

Astarion has differing reactions depending on his quest status.

That last sentence. With Minthara saying “no one would remember me” .. so sad

I romanced Astarion, finished his quest keeping him a spawn, took only him with me to the duel and embraced bhaal after resisting the whole time. When Jaheira confronted us he said, paraphrasing, "Well, not the path I'd have preferred, but I'm with you love. Wherever this takes us" and prepared for battle All that is to say, I fucking melted right then and there and am here to be convinced to keep being good on my good playthrough lol That just felt more powerful to me than everyone basically saying the same "congrats, good job"

Gale: “it is what it is”

When Lae'zel thank you and compliment you, you know you have done the right thing 😁

And Minthara is proof that they should allow her to be a companion without butchering the Grove.

Minthara is honestly the best written companion and it absolutely sucks that you have to be evil to get her and lose Wyll and worse be forced to kill Karlach. And im talking about how the game was meant to be played, those workarounds people do, ignoring the entire crux of act 1 to don't count

Minthara is a good character to have with you for that! That's why I'm romancing her on my evil Durge run

You know what I'd like to see before Withers shows up? Our romanced companion reaction to our horrible death. 🥲 That would be sweet if they could fall on their knees next to our body and say something at very least, w/o any overreacting, but a pinch of drama. Something suitable to this particular character. Very short reaction would be fine, and only then Withers comes to this hall. That'll be awesome ❤

We need to be able to respond "'Bhaal, Lloth, the Absolute. They do not have followers, they only have victims. I won't be a victim anymore.'"

Hint: When you accept Baahl, it would be better to have Shart lead to the dark (Shar) side before. On this side, she is much more inclined to follow the power instead of goodness. IMHO with Shar she becomes a mere puppet of evil.

Everybody watching for the nice responses Then there's me thinking every companion in this video's got driiiiiip~

wow doing a dark urge and refusing bhaal feel so much rewarding!

Gale: "oh no. uhm, anyways..."

Love seeing the companions proud of overcoming the evil urge

You can also lose the 1 vs 1 against Orin, and be stuck in a limbo ;p

Interesting, i just finished this quest. Won the duel and rejected bhaal. Karlach wished me a happy birthday, jaheira had the same reaction as in the vid and astarion said it was a convenient deux ex machina from withers

Karlach's reaction is oddly terrifying.

Minthara's dialog has changed after Hotfix 21 and 22. This dialog is much more... melancholic and insightful

I haven't seen clips of when you died in the 1v1 but your party kills Orin after. There's at least some unique dialogue with Astarion (possible only when romanced) but I've only done one playthrough so far

Now I need to see lines for losing the duel :D

Karlach dancing in the background 💀

Marrying wyll forever

Gale is so chill about literally anything and everything

Okay how do you have such cool outfits for everyone? Mods?

"And nobody would remember me." I will always go out of my way to save Minthara even on good playthroughs now.

Gonna miss this version of Minthara...🥲

I DONT HAVE OPTION WITH MINTHARA "orin is dead. you have your veng" WHY? IS THE GAME BUGGED?!!

Wait, Jaheira and Minsc just leave like that? How to accept Bhaal without fighting them?

What kind of mantle is Gail wearing?

Tav: I am bhaal’s chosen, I will butcher this world in his name. Gale: well beggars can’t be choosers. Was there something else you wanted to discuss?

Man I love Minthara so much.

killing Orin as the Slayer and then taking my rightful place was the most satisfying moment in the game

Whenever I see evil Tav/dark urge do evil stuff, I can’t tell if Astarion is scared or turned on lol

Karlach: pffft you put ur foot in it now? xD

What does Shadowheart do if she remains a Cleric of Shar?

2:14 what is that hair mod?

Why do so many people only show selune shadowheart?

I think Shadowheart should have a much different reaction if you let her kill Aylin and complete her quest to overthrow the Sharran cult. Her getting upset about you becoming a chosen when she aspired to be and succeeded at becoming one for Shar makes no sense

Withers casts lvl 12 "Say Sike"

I began seeing this videos so I do not have to play them myself. That was poor judgment. Because now I'm downloading it to play it myself because I just can't help myself.

Gale is the true homie

What Happen to my romance Partner if i accept baals gift?

Astarion called rejecting Bhaal very twee, there is more to it though lol

The character you make is kind of hot. 😍

if you accept Bhaal, can you betray him at the end?

" You are *YOU* " 👁 👁 👃 👄

Where do you get those sexy dresses 😩

4:42 hahaha, really, Asta wears the dog collar =))))))))

what about shar shadowheart

Wow

Why is Gale kinda chill about this?

Hmm i killed Minsc and his rat in the sewers, figured they cant stand our new glory. Also Gale being the best buddy as always. Edit: i wonder what Shadowheart is thinking, when she became Shars right hand since she is a selunite here.

Why is hasin so annoying?

Shadowheart's reaction is pure hypocrisy - as if her god (not for the version seen in the video, but the Sharran version reacts the same) did not want to achieve the same evil goal as Bhaal, destroying the whole world.

Man, people really like to dump on Minthara because of "muh druids and children", but she is a deep and profound character for someone who can truly understand the inner workings of the nutty gods.

seems hypocritical of shadowheart to go off like that after fully supporting her pursuit of becoming a dark justiciar...

It's kinda deemening to say "you're free" when the choice is "do what we want or you're not free" I've conquered my IRL dark urges long ago, and I chose this path cause I actually wanted to reawaken them, give me some life, as I feel I've gone too light, balance darkness in with my light, be a balance of my full self, I chose this, and I can say, this game has helped me gain those things back and have a bit more drive and life, I needed some darkness to feed my light again and vice versa. So I didn't do this for bhaal, or obey him, I made my own damn choice, but it seems what the game considers freedom is meekly capitulating to the social norms of your companions. Then I again I almost feel like the writers channel my past self, especially since I see myself like a white dragon inside and that's what the default player is, and I did conquer my urges before, but yeah. But I done so by not hating myself because of them, I think the real key is not hating yourself, any aspect of yourself. I always was the author of my own tale, which is why I chose the dark urge path from the start.
