Currently there are currently two ways to play with Dark Urge in Baldur’s Gate 3; you can either redeem him or give in to his bloodlust. If you choose to play as Tav or any of the origin characters, you’ll only come across Durge’s corpse in the Temple of Bhaal. Wouldn’t it be interesting if you could have him as a companion?
Sure, nights at camp would be a bit uneasy with a compulsive killer in your party, but he’d make a great addition if you’re one of those people that thrive on chaos. Thankfully, it looks like you’ll soon be able to add him to your party, thanks to a fan. The Recruit the Dark Urge mod is currently in development, but you can get a sneak peek into act one right now.
Dark Urge Joins The Party
Recruit the Dark Urge is being made by HyperspaceTowel, the same developer behind the massive cut content restoration mod for Baldur’s Gate 3. It looks like they’ve used their file extracting skills and applied them in a way that allows Dark Urge to be recruitable if you play as Tav or any of the other companion characters.
The sneak peek showcases the act one confrontation scene after Durge brutalizes Alfira at camp. Usually, you’d only see this scene if you played as Dark Urge, but this mod lets you an outside perspective as Tav, letting you have a conversation with Durge, as though he were any other companion in the game.
HyperspaceTowel mentioned that the planned features include making Durge recruitable and allowing him to level up like the others and adding companion versions for his major scenes. There will also be more voiced lines “sourced from the actor’s existing/deleted lines.”
Explaining how more dialogue will be added, the modder said, “There isn’t enough for a fully fleshed out companion like the ones we have in the vanilla game, but I’ll do my best with what I have: Durge is voiced by CC Voice 5, so that’s where I’m sourcing lines from. There are also hundreds of Early Access lines that didn’t make it into the release game that I’ve been sifting through.”
