Becoming Bhaal's Chosen | Evil Non-Resist Dark Urge | Baldur's Gate 3 

I was gonna ask but of course it's mods.

@@twistedelegance_ Sadly all the cool stuff is from mods. I dont think I have ever seen anyone play baldurs gate without any mods

@@Walnutty I do have the deluxe physical for PC but prefer to play on Xbox. More accurate attacks etc.

I'm really not one for toxic relationships. But oh my god is it interesting to see him and the dark urge become the worst versions of themselves.

Tbf there is a difference between backstabbing goddess of darkness and quasi deity of "murder all you can" club. It's not a big difference but I wouldn't personally pick bhaal as my sugar daddy either.

Shar at least pretends to be nice, Bhaal actively encourages his followers to murder and backstab each other.

I had the same thought

@@Ministry_Of_Silly_WalksDude SAME

Preach🎉

Love how her missing targets is a universal experince

Yes. That was always a mistake. Clerics should be charisma based. How do you get to be cleric? You talk an god into borrowing you some of their power...in exchange for your service And given the ... diverse nature of the gods of that realm That is REALLY not necessarily a demonstration of wisdom But it IS a demonstration of charisma...

​@@waldemarmarwalde6817 well yeah but we already have paladins and warlocks for that

Well, the first thing about wisdom is being humble, so...

@@waldemarmarwalde6817 "How do you get to be cleric? You talk an god into borrowing you some of their power...in exchange for your service" incorrect. clerics are granted power from their gods, talking a superior entity into granting you power in exchange for your services is a warlock, not a cleric

@@Vertix07911 "talking a superior entity into granting you power in exchange for your services is a warlock, not a cleric" I do not see the difference. Do you belive the clerics of the evil gods do not have to serve them? Do you believe the evil gods are not superior beeings?

same haha! I figure they are hoping you change your mind or are just saying that to not make bhaal angry with you. They give evil durge too many chances I think haha

They are safer with you than against you. The eye of the tornado is the safest point in its proximity.

The only two that make sense is ascended Astarion and Minthara, everyone else I was waiting for them to leave the party but then didn't. I was definitely like 😮

exactly this! I think the game does an amazing job with dealing out consequences for your actions but I kinda hope they would be more liberal with their disapprovals when it comes to really evil shit like this. Like my approval rating didn't budge for anyone other than Gale i think and even still I don't think I lost more than 5 points @@babydragon4813

All of the companions shown are the ones who are comfortable with evil choices.

Really roleplaying the Durge here

rofl!

Astarion does the same thing.

i didnt get to choose and minthara was very happy about it 🤔

Minthara was happy when I passed through.

haha yeah I wish there were more casual yet still gith looking clothing mods! I would have her in those in a heart-beat haha

@@LavendarrrI believe you’re playing full fighter?

Yes a pure battle master fighter! I was fully leveled for this fight too@@DamianLamier

@@Lavendarrr check out the 'gith gear' mod!

@@JordanJumpin already downloaded haha! I was so happy to see it

this is so much funnier than it has any right to be

great weapon master, my beloved haha

Why attack 6 times when you can one shot orin with divine smite. Lol

But I like magic missiles too much...

@@GRIMHOOD99 me with Eldritch Blast.

@@ladyselin35my friends Jahera can attack 9 times with the right setup. Its totally broken 😂

It’s a great weapon fighting build! If you paralyze a target it’s not guaranteed but you will always get crits. I got that ability via a locket I got from that sharan doctor in act 2 (I think - I’m going off memory haha)

@@Lavendarrr If a target is paralyzed any melee attack within 3 meters is a guaranteed crit

@@galerus3776hold person and hold monster are S+ tier for that reason

I did! I played it as her trusting him that he would ascend her/bring her to his level as well but once he starts showing his true colors as the ascendent (mostly how he talks to her and trying to exert power and control over her) she grows resentful and turns that into fuel for taking control of the brain and thus winning the little game of chess the are playing. I wrote about it a bit in this post I made: ru-vid.comUgkx8BoX2AIRCVfsDEERI3lD4SZiZ1Or2uH_

@@Lavendarrr I’m debating going that route too. Plus also trying to decide if I’m ascending him first or going to kill Orin first so many decisions I keep putting it off

Might as well be coz he delivered the netherstone to me in record time😂

@@sephiroth4345 You've made my day with this comment haha

When I first heard it, I thought the same thing. 😂

Honestly wish they would have dropped the mindflayers. The ridiculous ultimatum from Bhaal that Durge must become the absolute kind of ruins the fun of wanting to do a dark run. From an RP standpoint point, it doesn't feel right to take the companions down their 'darker' routes but redeem Durge... But that's the only way to get the complain epilogues

Its just a battle master fighter build! With the feats great weapons master, savage attacker, and +2 on strength with ability improvement. I used the base starting fighter stats the game gives you.

Thank you! It’s from vemperens heads

im using aether's no party limit!

I'm actually not using any mods on her! In this pt I had her take the justiciar route so her hair style changes a bit but color doesn't

As you level up fighter you get more attacks! I was level 12 at this point so she went into the fight a fully fledged fighter.

I think SHs is from basket of equipment and gales is from slutty menswear. Both are in my modlist in the description.

Thanks! And yes!

Well in durge run when you get slayer form and you do as bhaal wants she doesn't get it so she can't use it.

@@GRIMHOOD99 oh? so if you get slayer form she doesn't? good to know....at least one of my durges is gonna have a rough time then because I'm playing a redemption durge who also doesn't use mind flayer abilities. (Astarion at this point is just carrying around all the tadpoles in his inventory in case I ever decide to have someone in the playthrough use them.)

The pain of console, I'm on xbox.

This is why PC is superior over console.

Thank ya! I have my mods posted on my community page. Might have to scroll a bit :) www.youtube.com/@Lavendarrr/community

Bhaal’r?😊

If durge accepts power, their goal is to end all life on faerun in the name of their father and they would be the final death. So immortal or not, durge will kill themselves if their plan goes accordingly! And a durge that accepts power but then doesn't bring that vision about (aka destroys the netherbrain) either kills themselves before bhaal can or bhaal makes them go mad. Regardless, I don't think the power makes durge immortal nor are they to begin with since in bhaalspawn lore it refers to them being "bhaal's mortal progeny" or variations of that. But hey its your game - headcannon whatever you want! I like to think that when withers revives a resist durge and says that while he lives durge will live it's literal and durge is then immortal haha! :)

@@Lavendarrr ohh alr ty

They’re siblings…

@@asdfjgh they're not, orin are child of saverok and helena, dark urge are a creation of bhaal himself

@@arthurtribeckmaciel2510 true but they’re still related in a way

I think... She would technically be his grandaughter/great granddaughter. Since he's formed directly from Bhaal, genetically he's 100% Bhaal (kind of why it's trash that you lose the Slayer form of you got it in act 2 if Durge rejects him). With Sarova being Bhaals son and both Orin and her mother's father. If we go by the dynamic of Durge being dubbed Bhaal's child, she'd be his niece/grand niece.

its from a mod - basket of equipment.

Yes there is if you go back to the tribunal (assuming you didn't already kill him). When you go back he basically congratulates you and then attacks you in an attempt to usurp you haha

my durge here is using IO's outfit collection and everyone else is wearing clothing from mods on nexus! basketful of equipment, extra gear, and slutty menswear mostly

@@Lavendarrr thanks !

basket full of equipment I believe. Viconia also drops something similar if you kill her.

Armor? Haha you mean underwear? 😂

the sword is from the basket of equipment mod and the build is just a battle master fighter build :)

This is the only time in my many playthroughs that she wasn't in slayer form so I think she stays in her normal humanoid form if durge has the slayer form/is doing an evil run. I may be wrong, but I have only done a full evil durge route once and what happened there is what you see in the vid.

yeah its from the basket of equipment mod :)

There's a mod on Nexus mods I believe for it

Yes there are two mods on nexus that can increase your party limit - both work great. You will need script extender tho :)

@@Lavendarrr cool, thanks

Like how dumb can one be to ask this question without just using the 8 int they have

in balls name

This is a pure Fighter build (battle master subclass) so you get more attacks as you level up that class and you get action surge which basically lets you get a second round for free (not exactly how that works but its the simplest explanation haha). I also have the great weapon master feat here which can also give you an extra attack :)

No it’s optional, being a dark urge where you have murderous/evil impulses is separate from the normal story line where you don’t have murderous/evil impulses and blackouts, you have to choose dark urge in character creation. Dark urge is a character that you can create that has a special story line, so the events of the normal story is mixed with the special story of being dark urge.

wyll 100% is because durge killed him herself. karlach idk - she left the party once we started raiding the grove haha

Well, as he said she's left party.. so.. no protection from artifact! Dead or Mind Flayer now...
