Smith says he’s all about roleplaying and loves
Public Group active 2 years, 5 months agoIt would be easy now for developers to Dark And Darker Gold chase after Elden Ring’s success. Of all the origin character choices in Baldur’s Gate 3, the Dark Urge is the weirdest. It isn’t a character, really, but a state of mind.
To mimic its mechanics and themes. Inevitably, it would be a folly to do that. A subgenre as specific as the soulslike won’t survive through mere imitation. We already have Elden Ring. Instead, perhaps they should be asking: What would Dark Souls 2 do?
Baldur’s Gate 3’s chaotic Dark Urge origin is ‘potentially the most heroic playthrough,’ says lead writer
As the Dark Urge, you have no memories of your past at all, only a sense that you’ve done unspeakable things and that an unknown force within you wants you to continue spreading chaos and violence. Baldur’s Gate 3 lead writer Adam Smith is currently playing his own Dark Urge character, and tells us that despite first impressions, this may be the most heroic of them all.
“I’m doing Dark Urge because I’ve done just about every combination of class, race, and background imaginable,” Smith tells us during today’s PC Gamer Chat Log podcast. He says he spent a lot of time playtesting the Dark Urge origin, too, but “never got to play it from beginning to end as a full, genuine true run without cheating.”
Smith says he’s all about roleplaying and loves the chaos of his Dark Urge Monk.
“I’m playing the buy Dark And Darker Gold Dark Urge who’s resisting all the terrible things and is deeply regretful of all the terrible things that have happened,” Smith says. I do love a tortured, remorseful hero.
