the thing that drives me absolutely crazy though is that gortash is presented as this commanding dominating tyrant and yet it's consistently shown that the thing he appreciates about durge (or tav for that matter) is when they're not willing to submit to him & when they are strong enough to either stand against him or to stand with him & when they are his equal.

an insane thing for someone like him to want. you'd think he'd want to rule alone and yet the insight checks all show that he actually prefers to share so long as there's someone around worth sharing with.

"Half a smile shows he is teasing you. He doesn't think for one moment you'd fully submit to him. Nor should a spawn as formidable as you."

#bg3 #durgetash #enver gortash #the dark urge #they put actual cocaine in this ship and they didn't even realize it 😂#the funny thing too is as far as i can tell this doesn't go against bane's doctrine at all and is actually a good representation of it #banites as a whole seem to be diplomatic charismatic manipulative network-building scheming mastermind types #tbh lawful evil fucks #unrelated but this is always what i think of when i'm writing valerie locke in “secure your soul” since she's fundamentally lawful evil #she's highly ambitious and ruthless and she'll kill you or take from you without a moment's hesitation but #if you successfully defend yourself from her she will not be bitter at all. she'll be excited. she will appreciate your strength.#and then she will either ally with you or redouble her efforts to take you down #she's essentially immune to the emotion of envy because she's too self-assured and she just doesn't think negative emotions are useful
