Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 reveals new playable Origin character The Dark Urge Larian StudiosLarian Studios has detailed another brand new Origin character coming to Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, with The Dark Urge. While Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 has a robust character creator for players who want to build their own protagonist from the ground up, it also offers the option for fans to use an Origin character. An Origin character is essentially a playable hero already set with their own backstory, character traits, and perspective on the world of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3. However, developer Larian Studios has now revealed a brand new, fully customizable Origin character known as The Dark Urge, for a new way to play through the grand RPG. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 details The Dark Urge character According to a post on the PlayStation Blog, The Dark Urge \u201cembodies the darkest recesses of the moral spectrum.\u201d Initially, it seems The Dark Urge is a dragonborn with a hulking frame and bone-white skin, though players can choose any of the 11 races when creating The Dark Urge. The Dark Urge seems to be for players who want to explore the darker, evil side of the world of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3. The aim of The Dark Urge is simple: \u201cto murder brutally and indiscriminately.\u201d However, given this is an RPG with tons of player agency, those role-playing as The Dark Urge can give into those acts of violence throughout the story or attempt to resist them. The character\u2019s backstory sees them beginning the adventure with memory loss thanks to a parasitic tadpole that affects the brain. With no memories of their past life, all The Dark Urge is left with is an insatiable urge to commit unspeakable acts of violence and horror. Additionally, The Dark Urge will have various unique dialogue option choices presented throughout the story should players choose to use this Origin character. Finally, the blog post confirmed that players who enter the role of The Dark Urge can still form relationships with \u2014 and even romance \u2014 party members, in spite of the character\u2019s evil tendencies. Hopefully, those Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 fans looking to walk in the shadows will find The Dark Urge intriguing when the full game releases on PC on August 3, 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
