Baldur's Gate 3: The Legacy of Bhaal (Dark Urge Extended Mix) 

this doesn't play for non-Durge? I guess I should stop playing as Durge over and over again.

@@kittydaddy2023 It plays for everyone but with Durge it actually elevates in its meaning. You are quite literally stealing the show/spotlight as you should

​@@SnipeOSRSwow scratch of all things. Your not even a monster your just a mistake

@@crimsonnick4843 hey, you're the one calling scratch a "thing". I recognize scratch as a sentient, loving creature... That I need to kill right when he trusts me the most. Better than handing him to his handler in any case, at least a disintegration is painless, I'm not without mercy.

@@SnipeOSRS lol i drank a collosus potion and had gale cast enlarge on me while i was in slayer form so i was GIAGANTIC and only when i was bigger than a steel watcher did i maul the owl bear cub to ribbons. Killing it wasn't enough i wanted some overkill. Dark Urge really got me in the mindset.

​@@SnipeOSRSas fucked up as that last part is you kind of have a point lol

Haha I did that, then convince them all, Oh it's fine, i've got a plan!.. The plan being betraying them, slaughtering Karlach (Who I made a mind flayer) and conquering the world. IN BHAAL'S NAME! Honestly such an enjoyable ending, better the the normal evil one tbh

​@@voidshade9526 Only one word.... DIABOLICAL

hey im doing that right now lol

I never tricked anyone. Anyone who cared knew that my goal was to slaughter the multiverse.

@@voidshade9526 new Dutch Van Der Linde just dropped. "Trust the plan, have some goddamn faith!"

Do u think her pussy is tight or lose

Easy. Struggling and fighting against the Urge and the killing fate it will bring upon you, and then walking up to Orin to remind her that she's nothing but a usurping imposter that shouldn't even be alive, and that it's time she met her end, not for the glory and power of Bhaal, but simply to get the Lord of Murder to make an appearance so you can tell him to kindly fuck off

Honestly I get a lot more feels if I accept bhaal and fail, hell dying in the fate of duels makes it even more tragic. Resisting and knowing now you are nothing but a mad dog but still fighting and desperate for someone to aid you realizing you are doomed regardless makes it even better. Sad and tragic but most stories are reasons why I love how accepting or failing is treated so harshly with durge. Because durge did some fuced up things so it is the least they deserve.

I was _really_ disappointed that I couldn't get an ending like, "as the purest incarnation of Bhaal, having had your path made indistinguishably that of Bhaal's, you on a metaphysical level _are_ Bhaal. _You_ are the lord of murder, you're taking _Bhaal_ along for the ride - and when you die, you're taking Bhaal with you." It really annoyed me when my Dark Urge storyline seemed to me (as someone who has never read a Forgotten Realms sourcebook in their life) to be building up to that... and when the scene in the Temple then walked it straight back. God knows the WotC execs wouldn't have let them write in the player character killing off one of the icons of the brand though lmao

​@@Ciretako If I understood you correctly, something akin to this is actually mentioned in the Epilogue if you don't kill Sarevok. I completely missed it in my first playthrough and was thoroughly disturbed by the letter he sent Durge.

There's just one nuance; according to logic, theories, and observations, "Wither" is Jergal, the one who gave birth to the "Dead Three". In fact, he is the forefather of the powers that Baal possesses. Therefore, his magical shenanigans are quite logical (provided, of course, that he is indeed Jergal). The only downside is that Jergal isn't extensively explored in the plot; only "Withers" is, and that's all we know... Also, there's a moment where he pontificates at the end in front of the "Dead Three," seeing them as fools in his eyes. A plot hole remains in the lack of motivation for "Wither," but on the other hand, there is logic in this, as, according to D&D, we are just simple heroes up to the 12th level, still far from the plan of higher forces.

There's a cut content which explains that Jergal is helping the party due to being in the divine equivalent of mandatory community service, with Helm being his pentientary officer. Hence why he's piloting Withers, his Avatar, the most Ao will allow a divine to fuck with Toril, to help clean his "crime" of relenting powers to the Dead Three. It gets more hillarious if you redeem your Durge, since by making Durge his "chosen", Withers literally acts as your grampa who adopts you after his "son", your father kicks you out.

Playing bard for first playthough and then going to durge was an experience that

Why? Dragonborn durge bard is kinda sick

Ik people love 3:54 but people don't give that part enough appreciation. It's the entire reason I made this mix in the first place

Sounds too heroic for a evil dark urge imo... doesnt fit one who fully accepts murder in their hearts.

Yes! I love it. How cool is it to be THE bad guy and have your party go like "Wait... you...?" and then say. "Yes. Me. But you will not have to agonise long, it'll all be over soon."

It's mostly cause it's true. Huge spoilers ahead: There were numerous hints in early access that Tav was indeed a Bhaalspawn, so I am guessing that Larian at some point thought that not everyone wants their character to be a Bhaalspawn (not like Gorion's ward had any choice in that though, imho they should've kept their original draft), so they disentangled the Bhaalspawn plot from Tav and created the Dark Urge, gave it some backstory of having dealings with the main antagonists of the game, forced an amnesia on Durge and called it a day. Pretty sure it happened around the same time they took Daisy (the original dream visitor, the song 'Down by the River' is about Daisy's relationship with Tav and the party) and replaced her/him with the Emperor. Larian has changed a ton of things from the early access, not always for the better though. Like currently for example there are barely any consequences for absorbing tadpoles, in EA you had severe consequences for using the illithid powers. Eg. Omeluum's ring used to be different, it used to entirely block illithid powers (so you couldn't use them in conversations but also 'True Souls' couldn't connect with your tadpole), Nere could mind dominate your Tav so you'd fight with him against your party (only if you kept on using illithid powers at every opportunity, but having Omeluum's ring could block it) there were seriously so many cool things in the EA that Larian has completely removed from the game, but not entirely. Eg. whenever our companions talk about 'receiving a gift' from the Guardian (and you look at their skills and there is nothing new there), well it's a left over from EA, every single time you'd progress in your dreams, your entire party would get extra powers (which currently are locked behind normal and astral tadpoles - druids got the displacer beast shape for example), so that's what they're kind of referencing.

one thing i noticed that always makes me laugh is after defeating the goblin camp, speaking to shadowheart, she says " i never saw my self caring for these people. and a response was "Tieflings?" and she said yes. after EA it was changed to not caring about refugees.@@Nicottia

@@dennishogan5696 Oh, hell yes! I don't really understand why they changed it though and yeah, it still baffles me! 🤣

Can confirm, Durge was the only custom playthrough available for quite a majority of EA, Tav was a late addition. While it makes sense, being that Baldur's Gate has and always been about Bhaalspawns, I can see why they would seperate them into two seperate custom origins. Frankly, Durge is one hell of playthrough that is not for the faint of heart (or stomach), and some people are only interested in playing either a blank slate or their OCs without the emotional baggage playing a Bhaalspawn entails.

​@@dennishogan5696They needed Astarion to be the group racist lol

I love this line. For some reason it makes me laugh

I mean in my current tactical playthrough durge is doing amazing as a paladin. I honestly couldn't see playing him as anything else, especially a squishy caster.

His canon class was going to be cleric, a deathstalker, which is a mixture between cleric and rogue. Bhaal’s only domain is death so a death domain cleric would’ve made sense but they cut that from the game.

@@iterationfackshet1990 Swen Vincke said in an interview it was originally going to be paladin, but was changed due to narrative issues, probably oaths, oathbreaking, and how amnesia would effect something like that. Death Domain was never in the game, only the option to pick Bhaal as a god, and that was probably cut for narrative reasons as well or more likely being more impactful to the story than any of the other god choices

​@@SpaceElvisIncDeathstalker is still in the files but never released in EA, it was for Cleric but not the standard Cleric such as Shadowheart, it was more like a rogue. (Rogue archetypes and just base rogue was considered even before Deathstalker, but was redesigned into Deathstalker to fit the mantle of Bhaal better. Durge was then going to be released in EA but was postponned for launch, during this time he was a Paladin but was not yet in the files and we only know this from an interview. This was actually quickly scrapped even faster than the Rogue idea was, and he was for whatever reason turned into a Sorcerer instead of a Warlock with an "unknown patron" which D&D/Forgotten Realms Lore has done before. Or just sticking with the special Deathstalker class only for Durge. But Rogue is the original idea for Durge which makes alot of sense, he was also a Thief Rogue in the very earliest imagining, and was meant to wield Orin's shortsword and dagger in dual-wield as seen in the earliest of concept arts before he was even a Dragonborn.)

@@dragonknight8280 feel like I would have heard people talking about that with all the videos and articles I've read on bg3 by now, you got a source? other than "bro trust me"

What do you mean "chose to deny Bhaal" and "redemption"? I only renounced Bhaal because he was unworthy of laying claim to MY handiwork.

Because *I* am the Boss!

Durge: "You think you're the boss? That's cute."

Orin after realizing that she will NOT survive all those level 3 divine smites and a haste potion:

Orin after I triple crit her to death in one turn with my barbarian/fighter multiclass with crit build -

Agreed. And also for Good Dark Urge players like me, I feel like the pursuit of resisting and defying the Dark Urge fits into the theme I've noticed in a good chunk of the cast: We're not just fighting to free ourselves from the tadpoles in our brains, but to break free from the chains that have taken hold of our lives long before we met each other and got infected. Astarion, Wyll, Karlach, Lae'zel, Shadowheart, Gale, Durge, they are all pursuing a path to freedom from their own personal tyrants in their good guy paths which I just adore.

Tav is an alternate way to experience the story in the classic "right place, wrong time" trope. Durge is the canon protagonist because he more than any other origin character ties into BG2. He's not at the wrong place at the wrong time, he's the cause of everything. That, and I believe he's the canon protagonist because out of all the casters, Sorcerer has a special cutscene with the sussur flower, and which is Durge's canon class in character creation? 👀

Tav is you my friend. Made to play your own story. Some people wont write a character sheet and story then complains about Tav is worst. In Durge we are playing already written story.

​@@IronLordEXOBecause Sourcerers are the only class with unique dialogue xd

​@@ladyselin35 Tav, Tadpoled Adventurer, can be pretty much anything. Maybe a Cleric who devoted herself to recovering lost artifacts to repent for past transgressions. Or is Tav an old Warlock, desperate to kill his patron before his Soul wanders to the Hells for eternity? I've seen people pretend their Tavs were Disney princesses. People be playing RPGs without the RP these days lmfao

"edgy" is such a term that needs to die off. Before in old times we used to just describe things as they were, dark, grim, bleak. Things could be sorrowful, full of rage, malicious ect without all being undermined by one word. So many deep topics and emotions devalued with just one trash word. Internet "slang" and "culture" truly took so much away from the modern lexicon and fucked the vernacular of so many.

Well, once upon a time i was playing with very experienced crew, and my Student of Caiphon totally butchered a certain astral ritual. DM, uh, DMed me: "roleplay the most chaotic and evil person you can". And so i did, and i both loved and hated the monstrocity i was played. It was surely my best RP of all time, but i absolutely despised WHAT i was RPing. I'm not sure if i should take pride at how utterly *horrified* others were at atrocities my character done. Playing as Durge was like meeting old friend from an almost decade old DnD session...

Cutting the strings that compel you to do evil, just so that you finally call your evil deeds yours and yours alone. *In MY name*

how is it sad, it just goes hard

​@@onveteran3945 It's sad because Dark Urge has no control over it; he is forever a slave to his father, his vile doing.

@@dettlaffvandereretein1776 chapter 3, when you defy bhaal proves otherwise

@onveteran3945 It's just a phrase. Obviously I don't mean forever. Even if you couldn't defy Bhaal. Dark Urge would die someday anyway. It was just to emphasize the severity of the situation.

@@dettlaffvandereretein1776 Actually, the Dark Urge has been his father's and would have stayed a slave forever if not for the Nautiloid if you think a bit further. The one who rises after defying Bhaal is not the Dark Urge. It's the hero born on the Nautiloid that very day who did. They may share a name, but a Bhaalspawn would never have betrayed their father, they would have never given up the power for the people accompanying them. Your devotion died, as well as your name and past self. The Urges remained with Bhaal's blood, and as you stand again alive, it's in your own name, and as a child of none. At least that's how I analyse and understand it, and the meaning I give to Durge's story and conclusion

Does anyone knows a melody similar to this specific part? I just love it

​@@khorne5711 some of Bloodborne tracks are similar to it.

@@maximiliansinigr3505 thanks

​@@khorne5711 It sounds uncannily similar to a theme from Attack on Titan. That's what I heard, at least.

​@@souldanny.Song name?

I went Oathbreaker Paladin. After breaking his oath, slowly but steadily, the urge consumes him. And Bhaal’s violation of the oath only furthers the gods’ ire for Bhaal’s Chosen. All his promises of aid turn into betrayal. Many fall for his word, unknown of his identity, and all are blood that stain his twisted smile. Indiscriminate slaughter, death bringer, the murderer, the traitor, the Dark Urge.

@@nobuffer101 'Dark Urge the oath breaker. They, who breathe villainy and deception, whose hands gouge and rip and tear apart, bathing in blood and gore. They, who carry their father's legacy as a crown : a throne of savagery, violence and death. Pray for who steps into Bhaal's chosen's lair, for they have chosen a fate far worse than death.' Your concept is so cool. You make me wanna write so much.

I went Open Hand Monk for my Resist the Urge playthrough. There's a lot of thematic monk dialogue options about maintaining self-control and balance that really suits a repentant DU.

@@rosevalety3408 If you play as Paladin, you can talk to the Oathbreaker Knight about it after discovering you're the Dark Urge. He even remarks that it's not the first time Dark Urge broke their oath, that they have failed and redeemed, and failed again many times before. I love that as I roleplay a struggling Dark Urge, a dark paladin keeps on resisting and often fails against their cruel nature.

@@arinikola9649 Same! I headcanon that my Durge joined a Paladin order of Tyr to control his urges for years but he, one day, fell for them (similarly to what happens with Alfira but if he was still awake but unable to control himself) and slaughtered his entire paladin order. My Durge being broken, lonely and completely helpless, he gave up fighting the "inevitable" and his steps led him to the Temple of Bhaal almost instinctively.

The dark urge is essentially the game's protagonist. I get why they wanted you to be able to play a non-origin character without all the baggage the durge has, but it adds so much to the story that it feels weird to play a random nobody instead.

@@sarrach94 i don't mind that at all. Tav and durge are separate characters. (you can find durge's body in the baal temple if you play as Bhaal) I generalyy roleplay my Tav like my first playthrough I was a bard flok hero. like a bard who fights villains to protect. ( kinda like sylvando in DQ11 if you know the game) and I was able to portray that through dialogue choices that fit it. I think there is lots of potential. But you aright that Durge gets proper story integration whereas tav is the classic outlander. I still believe both to be legitimate and larian has confirmed this as well i am pretty sure. Durge is usually intended for a second playthrough.

@@cloudy978no. Durge is the real canon of how you play the game storyline , playing as durge is the continuation of the previous baldur gate games . Tav is not canon

@@aramean6502I mean it could go either way though. The actions before the memory loss the Durge does still happens even if you play Tav, just Durge doesnt survive the stab in the head, and so never wakes up on a mind flayer ship. Larian said they arent making a nothing BG game so you dont need a certain character for continuity either. Which character you play doesnt have any effect in the grand scheme of the plot.

Ah man, you have no idea it's a bit late to play these games nowadays, but this theme represents well the shift in tone in Throne of Bhaal. Basically, there is no society anymore, it's the ultimate war of all the blood and power hungry bhaalspawns against each other. And may the most savage win. Ilasera built a wall with the skulls of her brethren, Yaga Shura is an invincible cannibal giant ... And you even get to tell a father that you murdered his son and hope he will die less cowardly than him. All while being accompanied by the bloodthirsty Sarevok... yeah the game had just stopped pulling punches, and it felt great!

I definitely urge (hah) you to play BG1 and BG2. Sadly a lot of the lore from BG3 is a bit.. I don't want to say 'tainted', but the choices made by Wizards of the Coast kinda force me to do so.. with regards to the protagonist from the original BGTrilogy. The fanbase tends to differentiate between the protagonist of the games (Charnam, as the game code refers to them) and the one from the very terribly written novels (Abdel Adrian). Unfortunately, WotC opted to make the novel version canon, which is a shame because Charnam's story is by far the more involved, gripping and engaging of the two versions. As such it's definitely worth checking the original games out, as most major wiki entries will sadly base themselves off of the Abdel Adrian lore.

@@Terralventhe Oh damn there's a novelization? And it's canon? Huh...

@@Felana1988 Unfortunately, haha. I'm fairly certain it's what Jaheira is referring to in-game when talking about terrible bard tales about her, since the author for the novels turned her into a wide-eyed, clumsy bimbo who fawned all over Abdel.

@@Felana1988 In broad strokes. It's a small thing, but at the very least the only thing the "canon" Charname/Bhaalspawn shares with the books' protagonist is their name, Abdel Adrian; and that's it.

My Durge was a Selûnite Cleric 1/Evocation Wizard 10. On Tactician, Orin didn't get a turn. There was no duel, only an execution. Telendas (my Durge) went first. Bonus Action: Perilous Stakes. Action: Cirriculum of Strategy: Artistry of War. Orin Melted less than 5 seconds after Bhaal made her transform. Telendas didn't have the Slayer form, he was horrified by the Urges, and refused to kill Isobel. Shadowheart thankfully managed to tie him up before his possessed body could kill her. Needless to say, he told Bhaal he'd not stand to live while he could still be possessed by the Lord of Murder.

Slayer form vs Orin is so satisfying. Dont get me wrong, I love telling her that shes an unwanted incest baby, but just turning into the Slayer and then jumping up and down on her is so satisfying. "You want father's blessing? Here I am, then."

My surge was an oathbreaker paladin, smites hit so hard and it fits pretty well imo. Killing Orin was easy as pie with that

When facing Orin, my resistUrge (Defiance the tiefling bard) refused to give Bhaal the satisfaction of forcing them to kill their sister. In the dueling ring, they unequipped their weapons, cast ice shield and an armor of agathys at level 6, and spent the rest of the fight playing alfira’s lute. Thus, Orin died to her own bloodlust. Had she restrained herself for but a moment, she would have survived. I never attacked once.

Try someting harder than casual mode

and they're only level 12....

@@theshadowdoctor5500 i mean if you factor in all the illithid and bhaalspawn stuff they're probably near level 20 powerwise

@@Quail_I_Guess I think level 30 would be an understatement. Level 30 would be more accurate (Elminster is technically level 34 or something, so...)

There us no Level 30 though. D&D 5e caps at Level 20. Challange rating goes up to 30 though, which is a different system, not really having much to do with levels. And Elminster is strong. Like really strong. If he would be able to use all the spells in the roleplaying game thst he would have, that aren't included in this game, then he could singlehandedly defest the absolute with his powers alone and a bunch of people keeping him alive - which would be high level arcana clerics of Mystra, of course. So yeah...

@@Baalslegion07 Eh, not really. Elminster is powerful, but the Absolute's defeat is only enabled by a combination of specific narrative circumstances from the tadpoles to the Emperor/Orpheus and the Astral Prism. The Netherbrain isn't an ordinary Elder Brain, it's much stronger- and in the words of Mystra herself, on its way to becoming a new kind of God. In the evil ending cinematic, it literally instantly kills several red dragons, which would be CR 17 or 24 apiece. That's a pretty ridiculous feat considering even the stats of a CR 17 adult red. It also has an entire army of Illithids and thralls of various races, let alone the danger of it enthralling other Illithid colonies and Elder Brains. Considering multiple parties throughout the game talk up the threat that the Absolute poses, to include Elminster himself and Gods like Mystra and Jergal, it should be treated with the appropriate gravity: it's not just something that could've been stopped by anybody if the heroes of BG3 hadn't. Especially when you consider the Illithids have conquered the multiverse before, and _without_ a Netherbrain. Not to say nobody else could have stopped it at all, but it certainly would not have been easy. And if it had taken any longer, it would've been far more costly to the world.

I think that might actually be Gale and Shadowheart's Beta looks. Too small to be Karlach in the back but the other two I think actually are what the companions looked like before their updated aesthetics

@@cadenmcerlean4920 It looks a lot like Karlach back in Early Access. She was a lot less big back then from what I remember. Or maybe her armor just accentuated it less.

Something stirred deep within the champion's rancid heart and he stepped forward and told father and maker the last words he would ever say. "No. I reject you, father. The killing stops here, one way or another." And the champion was thrown to the floor. As his life faded and he began to welcome the featureless and peaceful purgatory that awaited in the Fugue Plane, he felt a familiar pull violently yanking him back up into the world of the living...

First thing he did was use Perilous Stakes on her. Second thing I did was cast Cirriculum of Strategy: Artistry of War. This was on Tactician. After Orin was naught but a puddle of blood and gore, and Bhaal made his appearance, my Durge told Bhaal that he would rather die than continue to live a life where Bhaal could possess him.
