#granted there are lines referencing headaches so not a complete lack of pain

Linking durge appearing to not feel/be aware of pain while with Kressa and certain chatter lines to durge's brain injury is common, but I also think maybe Bhaal gifted durge with either a super high pain tolerance or the inability to feel pain in most of their body when creating them.

If I was a murder god creating what I hoped to be murder incarnate, I'd want them to have minimal distractions in cases where a victim fights back. Pain is a warning that keeps you from further injury and the ability to continue their work on two broken legs with their guts hanging out would be beneficial when the aim is quantity of victims

#durge #the dark urge #dark urge #baldurs gate #baldurs gate 3 #spoilers #bhaal #bhaalspawn #on one hand they would be more efficient murderers on the other hand thet could die young #like some kids with congenital insensitivity to pain #i like all ideas people come up with for their durges because yall are so creative #im just throwing out an option I have not seen discussed yet #and of course durge has amnesia so they wouldn't even know if they had felt pain previously #granted there are lines referencing headaches so not a complete lack of pain #but that could be a weird case like my late grandmother #she lost the ability to feel pain everywhere except one of her ears after having a stroke #it was weird as hell #she could trip over her walker and break her leg and then straight up not notice #then turn around and get an ear infection and be miserable #the brain is truly fascinating and that is exactly why I got a neiroscience degree #granted that could have been temporary since durge also wasn't able to talk and didnt seem aware then #but still #or maybe they can only feel pain sometimes #like when they let the urge take over and commit murder without them realizing it maybe they can't feel pain #but when they are themselves they can
