What if the Dark Urge was a companion?
I love all the companions in Baldur's Gate 3
HOWEVER, I would've loved to see Dark Urge as a companion! Imagine the sweet angst and spicey scenes!!!!
What happens to him if you choose Tav over his origin makes me sad. So, I'm making this a thing!
Next: Chapter 2

Baldurs Gate 3 is so wild when you realise how vastly different the game is depending on if you choose Tav or Dark Urge
Dark Urge Playthrough: you’re the child of Bhaal, but unlike the Bhaalspawn, you are created solely by Bhaal himself. The first true child of Bhaal. The daughter of one of your father’s previous Bhaalspawn turns on you, attacks you and tries to kill you. In your dying state, she infects you with a parasite so that you’ll die an incredibly humiliating death, and become her slave.
By some miracle you end up on the same nautiloud ship as a Sharron Cleric who happens to to be carrying a gith artefact that contains Baldur himself. Baldur, who was made a mind flayer and is now calling himself the Emperor, realises there’s an incredibly powerful Bhaalspawn on the ship, and that he can use them to his advantage. The power you have will help him destroy Gortash. Of course he picks you, it makes so much sense.
On your way to Baldurs Gate you find out through an unsent letter that you used to be into Gortash. When you get to Baldurs Gate, the man you used to fuck turns out to be an absolute loser and with horror you realise he is still into you. It’s okay though, he’s very easy to kill.
You end up facing off against Orin, your niece, and kill her. Your father appears to you and offers you the chance to become his Slayer. On the high chance you turn him down, he murders you in front of your loved ones, and leaves you to rot.
Then Jergal, the actual Lord of the End of Everything, the original God of Death, who was the very being that turned you father into a God all that time ago, who’s been in your camp for weeks pretending to be this undead scribe called Withers, appears next to your corpse and brings you back to life, basically adopts you, states that he will protect you from Bhaal, and announces that as long as he lives, you will never die. You’re essentially immortal.
Tav Playthrough: you’re a random nobody that was unlucky enough to get kidnapped by Mind Flayers. The Emperor must pick one of the many idiots on the ship to be his pawn. He sees Tav and thinks “ugh, yeah this one will do”.

The thought that after Astarion ascends he’s still… in there, somewhere, screaming? That keeps me up at night

Lord Enver Gortash vs. Your Enver 'uwu' Gortyboi.
Edit: Original picture used for reference is now posted below!!
I wish I can post credit the post, I can't find the post again after saw that once, but it's about someone find the concept illustration. When player meet gortash, he would sit on the throne greeting them?
Edit: Finally I found the original picture post. Hooray!

When Astarion says “I prayed to all the gods. They never answered” and Wyll says “the only thing a god’s ever given me is a cold shoulder” and when Minthara says “there are no gods left for me”
if you even get it.

The Dark Urge Companion AU - Reacting to Astarion's attack
TW: Lotsa blood, Neck Injury
You thought I was going to have a comic about Gale's hand, did you?
Ha. I'll get there. But, you guys have been asking for it. I wanted to do a comic on how the Durge reacts to the player being attacked by Astarion in Act 1.
Previously: Chapter 1
