This is the moment I realized choosing dark Urge was an excellent choice. The moment you realize you've entered a place in which literally everybody knows you but don't tell, and you struggle trying to understand why.
I love how it starts in act 1 that "haha you are some murderous psychopath" which transforms by act 2&3 with *EVERY* bad guy knowing exactly who you are and either quakes in their boots or will do everything to put you down.
Normal PC: "That dude took that chop to the neck like it was nothing... how do I beat someone like that?" Dark Urge: "Ooo! He healed so fast from those attacks! I could torture him all day and seven bloody days a week, wonderful!"
@@cooperblackwell1392You would lose out on so many damn companions too. Really, I don't think you can have more than like 2 companions by the end of the game at your side if you never resist the urge.
Everyone talking about whether resiting or embracing Dark Urge is best. The fools, I find it more interesting to start off resisting, but slowly start to embrace it until eventually he’s back to his old self more or less and takes his place back
Or the reverse, where you initially give in but over time you learn to resist and overcome the worst parts of your nature, with a fair deal of encouragement from your companions
@@nathanfivecoate5848 This is why I think the "camp murder" is narrativley important. You can't be a durge that, trough save scumming or luck, resisted their urge every time. At the very least there was this one time you gave in. I did my normal good tav run. Next run is definitely gonna be "give into the dark urge slowly". Also wanna do a "resist the urge without save scumming the checks" run
The move is to tell the goblins to stop breathing, I never felt so powerful in this game as I did in that moment. The power to command someone to not even choke themselves. To stop breathing until they die is insane
Like you have enough control over them that you’re commanding their their unconscious mind. Like they obey even while unconscious. Otherwise you’d have only knocked them out
Ironic, or perhaps poetic, that Ketheric says The Dark Urge should take whatever pleasure he could in this diminished state. Because this is the only time, if I recall correctly, Ketheric smiled, or smirked.
Three friends and I went into BG3 blind, and I picked Dark Urge FighterLock. We, very obviously, noticed thimgs being very odd/wrong with my character (Alfira was a private cutscene so no one 'knew' what happened) but when we walked into the throne room... Ho boy. We all went silent as we realised that my character KNOWS one of the BBEGs.
Definitely gives me KOTOR I vibes too. Spoilers like with Revan having lost his memories and having to decide whether to redeem himself or keep going down the Dark path.
My favorite way to kill them is by telling them to just stop breathing. It's metal as hell since they're literally incapable of resisting your commands.
Despite playing through this game and getting to this scene like a dozen times, I never realised the goblin that attacks didn't show any signs of being under the Absolutes control. Little details like that are why I love this game. Giving a little story to a character you never get to interact with shows how much love they put into the game
How strange... I had NONE of this dialogue when my Dark Urge went to Moonrise! It was the exact same. Ketheric told me to kill the goblins, so I did, but there was no indication that he knew me or anything of this level! I stayed silent, but Ketheric addressed me like a total stranger. "Our guest should decide their fate" and all that. Bummer that I missed this! But at least I know it now, I guess. Tonight I delve into Thorm Mausoleum.
Same here! I just did it today and it played this dialogue ones but glitched out so I reloaded to fix the glitch. Only it never played this dialogue again, after reloading multiple times. It only played the generic scene. It's like it forgot I was a Dark Urge once it reloaded. The Warden knew me though, later on.
Same, maybe a bug. Some other scene that should appear because I'm surge doesn't happen, only some of it, I don't know why. Maybe because I changed my appearance?
@@ghiffaribara2949I think that makes a lot of sense actually. They should only be able to recall your former appearance, not what form you take in this new life, at least until they look into your tadpole. It's probably a bug but lorewise it does make sense.
@@evrimenustun9548 I walked in under Disguise Self, so naturally they didn't recognize me. Seems intentional that they only recognize your original appearance.
I'd really love to know the piece of music that plays during the scene when the goblin attacks Ketheric, like what piece in the OST x) It's expertly timed.
He's been fighting wars for more than a 100 years. At least 100 of those years he was immortal. Im sure he's bored of getting stabbed / slashes / mauled by now.
I tried all of the options and it didn't trigger for me. It actually did trigger at first but the scene glitched and I reloaded. After that it never triggered again. I hope it doesn't mess anything else up.@@sectcamp
@@TheRealUFOsAreDemonic yeah I think mine was bugged. I am the DU and I definitely did not get this response. Oh well, I’ve already started a second playthrough as durge and hopefully it will work this time!
it makes no sense, if he knows me, why did he send me to find balthazar and secure the nightsong? if everyone knows me, why do they give me so much shit and attitude?
@@jsmith434w The game is unfortunately buggy and certain scenes that should have triggered have not been. It may have been the case with your play through that the game bugged out and you didn't get the scene shown here.
@a1374034 Spoiler Its due to Orin telling everyone she fucked you up mentally so bad you're either dead (which you are in non durge playthrough) or basically a new willing slave since the chosen do not have worms in them. To have one is to become subjegated to their command and will. You're "disgraced" the same way Minthara is if left alive, where they erase your personality and being via the worm.
Fair warning, using shape shift of any kind will prevent any and all Durge events from playing out. Just had to watch this after I realized I missed it... Wondering what else I missed at the end of act 1...
Do u mean shape shifitng at this particular interavtion or jist shape shifting in general? Cause i have in act 1 but i only got part of this interaction.
huh... i played dark urge and got none of this. Just the normal dialogue choices. Feels like a bug then? Kind of lame as this is really cool. I was never referred to in act 2 like people knew me.
do a non-lethal takedown, take a long rest and she will be replaced by a female dragonborn named Quill. Just make sure that the scene triggers first, if any other interaction happens(Wyll getting transformed,Astarion biting you,etc) then you need to reload the safe and let that interaction happen before knocking her out.
