#... yes. Yes it is. And Durge calls Sarevok “uncle”. Ok let's not add that to this rn.

Something that's been bugging me about an inconsistency between some of the stuff Sceleritas says about how Durge was born (plus what they say):

"Bhaal became impotent two hundred years ago, before the time of Sarevok... I don't even know how I was conceived." - Durge

"My simpering lordling, you failed the entrance exam your august Father shed his very seed to prepare you for." - Sceleritas

"Bhaal gave out all of his seed long ago, in the time of Sarevok. You were not conceived. Bhaal sculpted you from a drop of his own gore." - Sceleritas

"This door will open only for one grafted from Bhaalian seed." - Sceleritas, referring to Durge with that description

"I was sculpted from a slice of Bhaal's own dead flesh. I have no birthday." - Durge

*Each piece of the body Bhaal sculpted is sacred. Waste it not. Cherish it. Savour it.* - The Urge/Bhaal

Consistency would be nice. I mean I suppose shedding "seed" to create the duel between Orin and Durge could refer to Sarevok (which doesn't work because Plan A (Bhaalspawn Crisis) hadn't failed yet so there was no need for Plan B (Durge)) but otherwise:

Assuming that Durge isn't being lied to, which they likely aren't because then they'd need to have been conceived prior to 1359 DR as a regular Bhaalspawn, and that clearly doesn't work because Durge can be a dragonborn and those didn't exist on Toril back then at all and that rules that out -

What, did Bhaal carve off a chunk of his own flesh and fornicate with it to produce a child with himself?

...

...Oh no.

It must be just the writers not communicating! Everything. Is. Fine. (...and that is most likely the actual answer, I suspect... but those lore inconsistencies now exist in BG3 canon to annoy me and Bhaal would.)

#He would though. #... isn't uh Bhaalspawn “seed” refered to as “Bhaal's seed” in-game? #... yes. Yes it is. And Durge calls Sarevok “uncle”.
