Despite releasing in August of 2023, Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 fans are still finding new Easter eggs, in large part due to the massive scope of the game. Like most RPGs, it\u2019s common for players to miss certain parts of the game during their initial playthrough. As such, the BG3 community has taken to sharing these various Easter eggs across the likes of Reddit and social media. The latest Easter egg to be shared amongst the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 community being the discovery of the Dark Urge\u2019s body during Act 3 of the game. One BG3 player shared their findings in a new Reddit thread while playing through the game as Tav. \u201cSo after defeating Orin and entering her chambers, I found some dead bodies I imagine she did her usual stabby thing with, one of them being a white dragonborn who looks an awful lot like the default Dark Urge. If it is the Durge, is this what happens to them if you don\u2019t select them at the start?\u201d While in development, Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 was given the codename Gustav. As such, the devs decided to pay homage to this by choosing Tav as the default name for the generic male custom character. On release, fans quickly discovered that the name section of the customization screen was largely hidden, resulting in many players missing the section and as such, playing through the game with their character being called Tav. Therefore, Tav has become a sort of meme and inside joke within the BG3 community, with many now referring to their playthrough using the default male character as a Tav run. As such, players have been coming up with their own head cannon explanation as to why Durge\u2019s corpse appears during Act 3 of the game when playing as Tav. \u201cGameplay decisions aside, from a lore perspective it would be fair to assume it\u2019s because the Durge failed to beat Orin and for his failure Bhal consumed\/destroyed his soul, preventing that form of communication,\u201d wrote one BG3 player. Another added, \u201cAll signs point to that being the Durge. The corpse is only there if you don\u2019t play Durge.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Dark Urge Easter egg in Tav playthrough has players obsessed Larian StudiosA Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Dark Urge Easter egg has players developing their own head cannon during their Tav playthroughs.
