#the moments with wyll and astarion/the reasonings ive weaved beyond would take it higher if it was those alone lmao

Hi! I was wondering if the dark urge route is worth playing. I enjoy the customisable tav route, but I've tried to play dark urge origin route and it just feel Yandere simulator Disney channel cartoon villain vibes at last through the first half of act 1. I trust your recs, so I was wondering since one of ur mcs is dark urge if its worth continuing to play this route. 😅

LMAO. What specifically made you feel that way? No judgment, I just love a good lol /and can be a petty troll.

I don't hate it. I feel like I've gotten some really good moments so far playing a redeeming Durge romancing Wyll [when from what I gather the meaty stuff is an evil durge or a redeeming one romancing Astarion]. I'm still early in act three, and from what I gather end of two and three is where we really get into Durge's history. I do admit it can drag on -- not the learning but the getting there.

I feel to have avoided that they should have 1. done better with the memories 2. introduced a certain character in MCs backstory earlier 3. connect mc better to ALL the potential romance routes not just Astarions 4. the pacing -- or maybe pacing isn't the right word, it's sorta disjointed some of the things Durge can do/has done or said and how the characters react.

In retrospect, thinking about your comments actually, maybe it's because I play a non-dragonborn [I hear they are more expressive] but it is SO weird how my Tav is constantly smirking when the narrator speaks about their EhVuhl. It makes me feel like I'm playing BBC Morgana.

I would say I would give the route a 3/5. Maybe a 3.5 but I'm also still asleep and will probably have more thoughts as I wake up but also as I go on. I think a lot of the appeal for me is the RP perspective. The figuring out her motivation and her connections and what it means to her. I mean I do that with all my Tavs. But I sorta like calculating WHY Kaeliana makes the 'wrong' choice and why she doesn't when she does, what drives her, what is her outlook. So I think if you go into it like that, you will find it very enjoyable. But yeah the smirks are annoying.

#and honestly i do feel they could have done better with the actual urges #i felt there werent that much #grapecase plays bg3 #anon #grapecase answers #long post #narrative analysis #sorta lmao #there are certain other things - beyond my list - that i would have liked more of but #overall. at the moment. i am enjoying the experience #i will admit it WAS a slow start and for a bit i played kaeliana less than my other current tavs but then i wanted to develop her and wyll #and get THAT scene. then i sorta liked the friendships she had growing with astarion and i kept playing lmao #i've put on a break at the moment bc i got annoyed with the game and it's schematics re: buildings and sneaking in and missions and stuff #hope this is of help! #the moments with wyll and astarion/the reasonings ive weaved beyond would take it higher if it was those alone lmao #but overall. yeah 3/3.5 #maybe durge playing mutes/followers can give their insight too #i feel like im biased being so pro wyll and so anti ... how they make these characters connect
