Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 party members are really bad at realizing you\u2019re a serial killer Larian StudiosThe Dark Urge lets you play as a murdering monster in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, but your companions aren\u2019t the best at responding to your homicidal nature, even when they\u2019re the next target of your rampage. The Dark Urge Origin in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 isn\u2019t for the faint of heart, as your protagonist constantly battles with their murderous desires. The player can either fight their evil side, or embrace it, becoming a sadistic killer in the process. This raises the question of why your party members would stick around the Dark Urge. While you have the shared problem of the tadpoles, it would surely be safer for them to strike out on their own rather than hang around with someone with a reputation for murdering random strangers. The main issue that fans have, as discussed in a thread on the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Reddit, is the lack of reaction if you try and kill a party member in Act II, which is your penance if you don\u2019t kill Isobel when ordered to. \u201cIn Act 2, if you don\u2019t kill you-know-who, you\u2019re forced to try and kill your romanced companion.\u201d the OP wrote, \u201cIt annoys me that no matter how many times my Durge is all \u201cHey guys I feel darkness within me, I killed Alfira, and I\u2019m REALLY worried about it,\u201d my companion is like \u201cHow could you keep this from me??\u201d Babygirl I\u2019ve BEEN TELLING YOU.\u201d \u201cYou should have told me about this before it got murderously bad. DUDE! IT WAS MY FIRST CONVERSATION WITH YOU,\u201d one user wrote, while another said, \u201cRemember when I cut a guys hand off that was sticking out of a portal.. not even 10 minutes after meeting you? How are you surprised that I\u2019m a psychopath?\u201d On the one hand, mass murderers aren\u2019t exactly uncommon in the D&D adventuring lifestyle. The Dark Urge is essentially a standard RPG character, what with all of the killing and looting and special destiny, so maybe the party was just shrugging and going along with it the whole time. The likely reason for the lack of a response throughout most of Act I is that your party would either leave you or try to kill you after the infamous murder scene at the Camp, leaving your Dark Urge to face the rest of the game alone, and missing out on a ton of companion content. The lack of reactivity from the companions to Dark Urge actions is bad, but it makes sense from a game design perspective, as you don\u2019t want the protagonist to be abandoned so quickly. But they could at least not be surprised when they wake up at night with your dagger at their throat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
