Durge’s childhood was this

Except Sceleritas made them play on real life subjects

The Urge seethes at Isobel, at all the people she is protecting, at how much destruction and death will ripple outwards with her death, like a perfectly set row of dominos. But Isobel is Ketheric Thorm's daughter. Ketheric made his deal with Myrkul to bring Isobel back, and even with her hating him, hiding far away, Ketheric is still faithfully serving Myrkul and the Design.

So why, then, is the Dark Urge so compelled by the essence of Bhaal to kill Isobel?

His dethroning happened right under Ketheric's nose. Bhaal's vile prince was disgraced beneath Moonrise Towers, kept as an experimental plaything with Ketheric's knowledge, and then shipped off like that vessel, shattered as it was, was no more than a common foot soldier.

Ketheric may not have done the attack himself, but as far as Bhaal is concerned, Ketheric took away Bhaal's favorite dagger, meant to bleed the world, and now he's going to take away Ketheric's most precious treasure: Isobel.

meant for this to be a doodle. meant for this to actually feature malas and not just whatever the hell he did! buttttttt we don’t always get what we want

i feel like living some sort of normal domestic life would be a weird vibe for the bhaalspawn. might have some relapses like “oops i did it again”

I designed outfits for my Durge Character, Riithtethel. I forgot to draw their tail, though.

Post-Tadpole includes a lot of partly-healed scars and wounds from a certain Mrykulite’s experiments. 🙃

Also, I wanna know who designs and makes all the armor and clothes for BBEGs, I’m sure it’s a lucrative but dangerous profession.

Wanted to try designing The Dark Urge's Bhaalist armor! Went for a more brutal barbaric style :] I think it fits my durge Nevari!

((Tbh it's my first successful time designing armor without just trying to replicate something))

Ahh Durge corrupting youth, just as Sceleritas corrupted him.

Fun fact I was inspired by a Christian prayer for durge’s speech bubble in the last panel. (I probably got it wrong tho because I am very much not Christian lol!)

Also I loved drawing Sceleritas horrified by Durge’s supposed charity haha.

Sometimes I imagine Orin using the end of her hair as a paintbrush in the same manner Smeargle uses its tail.

The first time I cleared Act 3 of BG3, I was playing as the Dark Urge and I went into it totally blind. I went in with 0 spoilers, no interaction with the community at all, no looking up resources or guides, nothing.

Because of this, I had some really weird holes in my experience and my already simmering distaste for how flippant the party was about the Dark Urge and their actions and struggle full blossomed into rage.

My first Durge never got the Coronation scene with Gortash. I got to Wyrm's Rock Fortress and the Steel Watchers were all saying to go to the Coronation chamber and immediately all my alarm bells were going off. THIS IS A TRAP.

It felt so much like Irenicus leading us into the prison of the Cowled Wizards to continue his experiments. I was convinced that I was going to be ambushed or thrust into combat with one of the BBEGs that I was in no way prepared for so early into Act 3.

And so I walked my ass straight through that bridge and out the other side and didn't ascend to see the Coronation. I had no clue about what Gortash says and does in that scene, and being that it was a first playthrough and I was flying through it in a stumbling haze and not scouring for everything, I had no clue about the Durge's involvement in the plot, in their connection to anything, any of it.

By that point, before the big reveal dream with Bhaal, I had figured out that the Durge was at the very least Bhaalspawn. I love the original games too much and spotted those signs early on. But beyond that, I was in the dark.

So I, hyperfocused on the fact that Bhaal wanted the Durge to reclaim their temple, of which they were long standing high priest, I waltzed my happy ass to the Steel Watch Foundry and disabled them. Fought my way back into the Wyrm Rock Fortress since everyone is aggro at that point and obliterated Gortash in the coronation hall without a single bit of dialogue triggering. No fanfare or commentary from my party. Karlach said she was pissed she wasn't there for it, but would be fine if I just took her to see the body.

And then I did the Murder Tribunal-- shocked to see all the faces of the people I had to kill in Throne of Bhaal staring back at me, not to mention Saravok, whom I obliterated in the original Baldur's Gate, and then ABSOLUTELY REFUSED TO BRING BACK when the option was given in Throne of Bhaal because absolutely not (my Gorion's Ward was a Paladin struggling with nature vs nurture, which back in 2E days was a human and lawful good by requirements). I learned more about Orin, sacrificed Valeria, and moved on to the temple.

Orin's transformation into him, the face of my Durge, his voice, telling me all about Durge's roll in the Absolute plot, was the first I had heard of any of this, and as such, was the first time any of my companions had heard of it. It was just revealed to all of them that the Durge was born of Bhaal, that he was the head of the Bhaal Temple, that he was to blame for them all having tadpoles and this whole messy war on multiple fronts, and that he was here to reclaim his place as Bhaal's Chosen, not just to take Orin down.

Up to this point, everyone had just brushed off his murder of Alfira like it was nothing. They hadn't commented on his murder of Isobel and the destruction of Last Light. They didn't have much to say about him becoming the Slayer. None of them pushed him to struggle, to fight against it, to do better, be better. They just kept following him into the dark, and so by my reasoning, why would he struggle? It's his nature, after all, and no one has seen anything wrong with it, or at least hasn't voiced such discomfort to his face.

And with all that revealed? Did they have any commentary on it?

No. They didn't say a word.

No one had anything to say about it, and it was the singular point that absolutely broke my experience. It was the thing that made me pick up a notebook and seriously start writing again, after almost 10 years of not writing. I was so angry I wanted to do it right, to do it justice, BECAUSE NO ONE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD JUST STAND THERE WHEN THE VILLAIN OF THEIR CURRENT ENTIRE EXISTENCE WAS JUT REVEALED TO HAVE BEEN SLEEPING FEET AWAY FROM THEM AND BREAKING BREAD WITH THEM EVERY NIGHT FOR THE PAST MONTH.

I have since done other Durge runs. I have gone through the coronation. I've picked up the broken pieces of them scattered across the Shadowed Lands to the crypts of Baldur's Gate and still, AND STILL, the lack of reaction, the lack of care, it gets to me.

This could have been so much better.
