Alongside the Origin companions you can play as in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, you can also choose between two kinds of customizable characters. The first is a total blank slate or \u2018Tav\u2019, which is the most common choice for most players\u2019 first playthrough. The second is a more recent addition, The Dark Urge. \u2018Durge\u2019 is a Bhaalspawn who can be of any race or class but is deeply troubled by their Haunted One background. While this character is a natural choice for players doing an evil run, choosing this origin also provides a significant number of unique story beats and dialogue options. As a result, one Redditor on r\/BaldursGate3 insists that Durge serves as a best fit for the game\u2019s main character. Players argue that Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s Durge has main character energy Other factors like race, background, and class also present players with noteworthy additions to dialogue. However, some fans still argue that custom Tavs are \u201cundercooked\u201d and provide limited meaningful roleplaying opportunities. Meanwhile, fans feel as though the tension that comes with your Durge hero trying to resist their violent desires provides a far more intriguing narrative than any other origin. Due to Durge\u2019s more established background, fans say their lore is also more tightly integrated into the rest of the world: \u201cYou have a direct relationship with the main bosses and [the Durge \/ Orin duel] is so much more climactic than the regular showdown.\u201d Of course, for players whose background preferences lean a tad closer to Folk Hero, the Dark Urge is not a great fit: \u201csome people don\u2019t like having a canon backstory of necrophilia, cannibalism, and wanton murder and would much rather have a character with a backstory they made themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players believe Dark Urge is the game\u2019s real protagonist Larian StudiosPlayers contend that Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s Dark Urge is the game\u2019s most involved protagonist.
