One Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 NPC reveals major frustration with Dark Urge storyline Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 players have discovered that a minor Act 3 NPC seems to care way more about a major Dark Urge revelation than anyone in the party. One common complaint among Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players concerns how the game handles its major Dark Urge revelation. In Act 3, the Dark Urge finally learns the truth about who they are and where they come from, but the revelation is somewhat undercut by the minimal reaction from companions. Everyone seems to get over it pretty quickly despite how much damage was done, especially to characters like Karlach and Wyll. However, players have found there\u2019s one unexpected NPC who actually does have a significant reaction to the Dark Urge \u2013 and you probably won\u2019t recognize her name. As one Reddit user shared, Dark Urge players can tell Devella Fountainhead of the Flaming Fist that they are a Bhaalspawn \u2013 a child of the God of Murder Bhaal. The constable appears as part of the \u201cInvestigate the Murders\u201d quest related to Orin and her Netherstone. \u201cI maybe expected one or two sentences and a kill\/spare choice. Lo and behold, the entire conversation, her demeanor and even quest\u2019s focus turned towards Durge,\u201d they explained. Devella\u2019s reaction even extends beyond that initial conversation, with the poster sharing that \u201cNext time I saved her she still greeted me as a Bhaalspawn, compared me to Gorion\u2019s Ward and even asked if I was nervous to face against my Father.\u201d All this stands in stark contrast to Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s companions, who don\u2019t actually have much to say about the Dark Urge\u2019s true identity and history. Speaking to your party members right after the reveal yields some reactions, but it doesn\u2019t take long for everyone to sweep it under the rug. That\u2019s even true of characters who were very directly hurt by the Dark Urge and their allies like Karlach, who was betrayed by Gortash, and Wyll, whose father was captured and brainwashed by the the Chosen Three. As one commenter put it, \u201cThe companions\u2019 reactions just befuddled me. I tell that I\u2019m a bhaalspawn, and then they all go \u2018well mystery solved, gang.\u2019 and then forget about the whole thing.\u201d These perceived shortcomings of the Dark Urge storyline extend to the rest of the game, with one pointing out that \u201cafter you kill Alfira, everyone basically just says, \u2018ok, well don\u2019t do that again.’\u201d Devella\u2019s reaction makes perfect sense considering her existing suspicion that Bhaalists are behind the murder. But while this is the kind of attention to detail Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players expect, it also shines extra light on a place where the game does fall short.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
