FYI, the reason the Dragonborn used by default for the Dark Urge is white is because, the White Dragons in DND are some of the most evil of all Dragons, yet is the archetypical wolf in sheep clothing kinda thing. And note that the model has white skin with red blood hues. Love those kind of small details Larian put in.

Larian did a great job of making the evil deeds in this game feel very evil. Poor Tieflings :(

I'd like to see more origins similar to the Dark Urge. It's not locked into a certain person, so it's nice to create a custom character and get some more story options. I was thinking how nice the Wyll story elements would be as a warlock that did not need to be Wyll.

Playing a Vengenace Paladin with Dark Urge trying to resist the urges was one of the best roleplaying experiences i've had. It had great moments and synergized perfectly with other characters in the party, specially with Shadowheart.

The squirrel thing is hilarious when you dont have speak with animals. My favorite reaction afterwards being “You all saw it! It was coming right at me!”

I did this as my first playthrough and I do not regret it one bit. I resisted the dark urge against the innocents while still being brutal to those who I thought deserved it. Brilliant writing by Larian. 🙌🏼

The dark urge is actually in the base game if you play as a custom or any other origin. You can find him vibing in Orin's room.

Yea, Dark Urge is great. A lot of people have been opposed to it because it sounds to them like a murder hobo version of the game, but it's really not. It's a great chance for a light/redemption arc if you resist and a great chance for deep lore on certain characters/history if you indulge. It will change the game significantly, but a playthrough both with and without are certainly worth your time.

I actually chose Dark Urge as my first playthrough, cannot recommend it enough its such a cool roleplaying experience to do. I played it so i slowly gave in to the urge, so i saved the tieflings , but killed the nightsong, then finally challenged Orin to become Bhaals chosen. it was really cool having people like Wyl and Karlach warm to my characters initial good nature, only to turn sour toward the finale, meanwhile having Vampire ascendant Astarion and Dark Justiciar Shadowheart supporting me.

Paladin gets exclusive dialogue in the dark urge route and you only break your oath depending on whether you revel in the actions you took while things were out of your control or not. Paladin is definitely a valid option.

Monk Durge is so interesting because it feels like you have this disguise of a calm, peaceful, enlightened warrior struggling to keep a monster under control. And it gives a good playthrough some foundation to build on, your amnesia gives the Monk philosophy more room to guide you.

Oathbrealer Paladin makes so much sense for Dark Urge. Breaking the oath is perfectly in line with this origin. The necromancy that comes with Oathbreaking works with the themes as well.

"Play Dark Urge second if you plan on playing twice" Me, who has 10 builds already planned: Interesting

I've been having a great time playing an exiled Lolth-sworn drow resisting the Urge. The tension between what I want to do and what the Urge demands is really fun. I absolutely agree that it's best as a second playthrough, though. Knowing just how intrusive the Urge is compared to a normal playthrough enhances the experience for me.

I feel it's important to stress that Oathbreaker Paladin does pair very well with the Dark Urge. Only steer clear of Pally if you don't plan to break your oath. My own DU playthrough is with a Pally/Warlock, and it works great. But, BHAAL BELOW, it's nasty business. "Dark Urge is a shocking playthrough" (15:06) is very true. Get ready to feel shitty about your choices/actions... 🙂 This game is truly spectacular

"I up front the knowledge " greatest line of any YouTube video ever...everything I hear that I immediately hit that like button..keep it up man..love the way you make videos

Dude I’ve never played dark urge yet and that squirrel scene was insane! I can’t wait to do a play through

Really appreciate your willingness to give a synopsis of the video you are about to present forgoing viewer attention for just releasing a quality product need 1,000 more like you thanks

YES!!! The Dark Urge is the best character. I never seen the squirrel moment till I did my play through of it and my jaw hit the floor. The rewards do lend themselves to certain play styles, but it is an amazing play through and has some surprises for certain
