@@AkodoRokkuhard to say since yeah he quit, but he still holds a spark of divinity. However he is still acting within his domain being the scribe of death, and Withers is just an avatar since gods can’t cross into the material plane anymore physically. Mystra is a good example of this as well, since she charges Gale with “power of go KYS”, asking a mortal to do her bidding for her. I believe even the party members ask ‘why doesn’t Mystra just handle this herself?’ Well, that would be directly intervening with mortal affairs. To circle this back to Jergal/Withers, his domain curates to death and the office of death (he’s even served Cyric at one point and I believe currently Kelemvor). Note he will not bring anyone back unless they offer him something (gold) as an exchange. So he’s still acting as one with a divine spark might do. So he won’t kill anyone because that’s directly meddling, just like the Dead Three all need mortals to kill in their name. It’s kind of a grey area with Withers though since at the end of the day he’s a mechanic for the player to keep the story going, so if we just buy into the plot point it makes enough sense without getting into the gritty.
Bhaalspawn are more often than not, choice-driven. Orin for example chooses to murder everyone to appease Bhaal, as does the other Bhaalspawn in the Temple. Sarevok also chose, and there have been Bhaalspawn that went against Bhaal. The Dark Urge is... different, rabid. It's likely because unlike other Bhaalspawn that are half-mortal. TDU is pretty much a mortal born from the flesh and blood of a murderous God. Hence their rabid urges being a direct result of their unholy conception. TDU's the one True Bhaalspawn, being born of nothing else but Bhaal.
Durge: "This was a terrible mistake, please just kill me." Withers: "lol nah." Durge: *breaks out and roams the countryside raping and slaughtering hundreds* Withers: "Damn that's crazy. I think I'll throw a party and not tell anyone that their rabid demigod bro escaped and is hunting them down." What the actual fuck, Withers?!
The movements and facial expressions are legitimately horrifying, dear *lord.* So well-done. Not to mention him being hidden just meters away from the blithe, oblivious Astarion 💔
Let's hope Astarion remembers his vampiric sense of smell and darkvision when the Durge comes lurching into the camp covered in blood... since the game established that Astarion's can not merely smell blood inside people's bodies from meters away and if it is tainted (as with Araj Oblodra), but also like a dog recognize people by smell or whose blood it is if it was spilled. At least Withers/Jergal put Blade Ward spells on everyone, and can resurrect the companions if the Durge manages to kill someone... but since this ending only happens if the Durge lsot agaisnt Orin and doesn't have a Slayer form anymore, is insane (thus no access to spells), has no armour and only a knife, I hope they can kill poor Durge quickly.
@@TF2CrunchyFrogi may be reaching for straws to try and make this scene make sense but perhaps he does smell durge but doesnt care. it doesnt make a difference to ascended astarion if all of these people die, he doesnt need them anymore as he now has all of the power he wanted and more, cazador and the absolute are dead so he no longer needs to follow the herd for protection, and of course he is so high and mighty that he could *never* be bested by a mere mortal, even a child of bhaal

A very sad end to a dark urge...This whole thing with Baal's brat is very sad...Orin, who served Baal and did everything for him, did not deserve such a death, not knowing the truth about her childhood and that no one needed her at all, only the dark awakening told her the whole truth, she came to her senses for a moment...Baal immediately turned her into a Slayer and did not give her a chance to understand everything that was happening around her, although there might have been a chance...The dark urge fighting the temptation of Baal's blood failed to cope with it and has such an end. the most touching incident!
Honestly I was kinda hoping for Astarion to notice you and defeat you, only to look on in sadness and promise to try and remember your name, before ending tav's life. Would be too kind an ending for the chosen of Bhaal tho
Well this is sort of an open ending, yes Durge plans to strike while they sleep, but will they succeed? Your scenario is still technically possible, maybe in parallel to the Astarion first bite scene.
I was kind of hoping it would skip to the next morning, the camp covered in with their bodies, as the durge has a moment to look on his prior lover and feel his actions, before being fully consumed by Bhaal
starting a new playthrough just for this to be a good durge now, just finished an evil durge where i take the brain, understandingly but sadly i don’t think there’s an epilogue for a dead world ending
I'm playing Dark Urge right now and this made me really sad and sympathize so much with a fictional character. He saved the world, but it cost him everything.
@@hadvar.the.viking I haven’t finished the game yet but I beat Orin in a duel and rejected Bhaal and withers said Bhaal took away any influence he had over me when he killed me so I’m assuming it will be different. Edit: it is a different ending. I imagine similar if not identical to tav playthrough
Withers speech at the cell didn't matter at all lol. He painted him as if he was the hero at the end, just to leave him rotting there and forget about him, not even attempting to help.
Because Withers can't do shit. He can revive people, that's about it, and you were deep in Bhaal's grasps at that point so even if Withers had revived you, you would still be a Bhaalspawn. The sole solution for Durge to escape is for Bhaal to take the blood away himself.
Others aswell not so they are dead instead of find a way get baals influence out of the Body fix cure they planned to let you rott suffer not even mercy through death they die now freed of jail forced to be baals puppet
I love this tragic end, but for my Durge, it didn’t quite make sense, I had set up two back-up plans in Gale and Astarion becoming a God and Asending respectively, but they couldn’t look out for their Bro who was always there for them, supportive of their horrible decision making? You telling me a God of Ambition can’t help the most ambitious man alive? Vampire Lord can’t keep a beast under control? It hurt more then the Shadowheart bit in my brief epilogue. Still, Good (Horrible) End
I just got this ending unintentionally after gale promising to help me with my affliction repeatedly then suddenly he only cares about the crown and becoming a god? 😭 it also considered minthara my main lover for some reason
I was wondering. Does the party mourn or have different reactions now for the durge suicide ending? Or continuing the path to live on with the curse? Also Ty for showing this ^w^
You also get this ending if you die to Orin in the temple of Bhaal, I’m so glad I saved before fighting her because I got this ending and was so distraught over it I had to fix it myself 😭
I was so pissed. I was on honor mode, got her down to two punches left, and when I punched her again, LEGENDARY ACTION SHE HIT ME FOR 30-210 DMG. I died on my own turn
I love it because it was the perfect ending for my evil playthrough. All my companions were evil feckers too, so my perfect ending would be if Durge killed them that night.
I love how after patch5 dropped,we are getting all these videos about diff endings and closures and majority i've seen has romanced Astarion,we just cant get away from such a good performance by his VA. ofc the rest of our companions are solid too Patch 5 has been an amazing early christmas present. The closures, the bug fixes plus the ever anticipated Honour mode RIP durge tho, going in blindly while Lazeal is there, she'll disect him
Mine was Lae'zel because of her love of combat and therefore killinv shite. Felt fitting for him to be attracted to her on that basis. I guess a vampire makes sense too lmao.
@@thegatorhator6822 i hated lazeal at first but my opinion changed so much after experiencing her story. Its one of the best And having her in a party is just a massive boon coz after the creche, she basically has a lot of gith specific gear that are all really strong
Oh wow, so dark and detailed. Larian really blessed us with this present. Now I want to try every twist in the game from the very beginning to witness all ending possibilities myself, this game will never let me go.
@@melonman6522 I mean, that ending is still sort of implied to be happening here. 4:05 : "You are Bhaal's stallion - many of your own Bhaalspawn have been born to die in this half-year"
I Hope we will see in 2 Big DLCs a) The journey to help Karlach and Wyld to Avernus where we meet again with Hope and "fix Karlach's heart and b) the journey to help Lae'zel to fight Vlaakith and free her people and avenge or help Orpheus .( Depends on what choices you made)
Uhm, Avernus is cut content, because L couldn't bother finishing the game and your basically suggesting that after L fucked everyone over, they should DLC it, the same shit everyone is upset over in every game that remove stuff for DLC milking the customers... What is up with the blind idiocy of everyone. Don't suggest they SCREW us over for crying out loud.
@@miravlix For me the game is an ode to gamers and gaming community and I feel that they respected me as a consumer and a gamer. But in the end of the day everyone has their own opinion and this is ok .
@@miravlix”couldnt bother finishing the game” girl what 💀 y’all never satisfied with what ur given lmao, u try making such a huge game with a limited budget and see if u can “bother” finishing it within the deadline
Well, this looks as if they die, but this is only one-sided narration of our Tav, he believes he can pull it off and has a chance, but what really happened, we can only guess... This is still somewhat open ending, like with Karlach. Besides, we see some dialog options and I wonder, if the ending can change when changing some of those options.
When durge kills their lover earlier in the game, they didn't I fight back while sleeping and no one heard it. So I think they're probably all dead because the game treats you as helpless against the urge in your sleep. I tried most of the options, nothing changes besides whether you piss yourself or not
@@UnseenOctDoubt that would be the case here. Depends on the endings, you would have a god, a high-ranking Shar cultist, a Githyanki that has been fighting non-stop for a few months, and a mindflayer that can read minds. At least one person would have an ability or enough durability that you would never be able to kill them in their sleep.
@haihuynh8772 but theyre up against a God's direct descendent who: A. Is living mainly to be punished. Death would be good for you, the person who ruined Bhaals ultimate plot at the very last moment and killing your lovedones is the ultimate punishment B. Is needed to make more bhaalspawn C. Has presumably been killing even more nonstop like a feral animal D. Is arguably the most powerful and most skilled of the group No one is durable against a knife in the neck in regular clothes. Also, mindflayers sleep, so I'm not sure it matters. Technically, astarion should have been in a meditative trance but aware, but you still kill him with 0 difficulty or resistance or without awakening anyone
@@UnseenOct And the Bhaalspawn is twitching and barely moving right. Even if they could do stealth, at least one of the companions should have an ability to detect their presence now, not to mention security around camp, something someone SHOULD be paranoid about. Then it's just a matter of up to 7 fighters against one naked person with a fancy dagger. And not to mention Bhaal could simply be sending them to their death as they have already sired new spawns for Bhaal, he could simply be disposing of them out of spite now.
@@haihuynh8772 well, they didn't see them staring directly from the brushes a few yards away all night while they pissed themself. Of course, they're deranged, but they're only slightly more deranged than orin, honestly. I don't feel like 6 months of being a sex slave is near punishment enough. You were a once-in-an-eternity miracle, an immaculate conception, and you destroyed the most perfect plan. Bane is probably still torturing Gortash for simply failing and not even betraying his god
This is a weird ending. I dont see Durge winning a fight against Withers at all, let alone against all the other party members. So I am guessing this is a suicidal bad ending.
You did kill your lover in their sleep with 0 resistance. Since they're waiting for everyone to goto bed, I assume you take everyone out easily. Bhaal needs you to breed and also wants to humiliate you in every way imaginable anyways
They will die they still had chance than you sayed kill me but they dont even mercy that instead rott in jail spare but that Made baal control so they are dead even ascended astarion it backfired
Here's hoping Ascendant Astarion can put his lover out of his misery that night. This being Ascendant, though, I suspect he would allow Durge to kill any present who oppose his plans for conquest before putting down Durge or at least flitting off as a bat unharmed.
@@margonite.morenai dont get why ast didnt come see us in jail or even try to help us though. We are still his beloved bride. I thought we would get more precious moments with him in the bad ending as his consort but i guess not??
This is exactly the type of ending system Mass Effect 3 needed to be successful. Meaningful good and bad endings. This would have made that game a masterpiece at the time. I hope future games learn from this.
baldur's gate is simply such an amazing masterpiece of a game, it's the only turn based game I played till the end and I have enjoyed it's every moment when creating my story. The Ascencion of my character and his growth was something to behold. Good fucking job to these people that poured their souls in this game : )
It's the same ending if you choose anything other than killing yourself on the docks. I picked the one where I convinced myself that my will remained because of the tadpole and it showed this ending. I even went to Avernus with Karlach and Wyll but it didn't matter.
A freaking nightmare. I accidentally create a Durge for my first run, and I did my best to silence the urge. I thought I may have a bitter sweet ending, but noooo I'm doomed, crawling like a zombie to my next prey. Bro, it hurt.
So I got this after I changed my choice in the final battle. My question is, do you simply get no epilogue at all if you side with Bhaal and control the nether brain? I only seem to get any additional content if I destroy it.
Licks blade… Then immediately realizes what that means, “I shouldn’t have done that.” Drops dead. Just commenting on the thumb nail cuz it reminded me of that.
I need some clarification, is the “6 months later” scene the same no matter what path you take with dark urge? I’m on my evil durge run and plan to let Astarion ascend!
I'm pretty sure you only get this if you lose in the duel in act 3 AND if you become Bhaal's chosen but in the end decide to destroy the brain instead.
Kinda sad Withers didnt give you another chance to redeem yourself. If you reject Bhaal at the temple, Withers revives you. If you reject Bhaal by not giving him the elder brain and then defying him by dying or locking yourself up so you don't hurt anyone, Withers just condemns you to your fate. Like bro i still defied Bhaal but you wont help Tav get better ig the logic is that if you accept Bhaal, Bhaal destroys the part of you that wasnt tied to him (the part that Withers revives at the temple). And Larian wanted an excuse for a truly devastating ending for the Dark Urge
Probably, but i also think that if you accept him you shouldn't be able to change that after, would feel kind of off. There is consiquence to actions after all.
Probably by pledging yourself to Bhaal, you're now out of Withers's hands. Not to mention he can't cure you, he can only bring you back without Bhaal's blood tainting you.
Withers redeeming the dark urge after he had every chance to turn his back on bhaal after he confronted him at the temple and still pledged himself to him makes no sense. after you defied bhaal at the last nanosecond months ago, NOW you want to rebel and redeem yourself after six months of being controlled by the notoriously evil god who you aligned with? Withers is in the right there, it would just seem like durge would want to leave bhaal after suffering for months and not out of any good intentions.
I wish we saw druge interact with Astarion in my dreams he defeats him and keeps him in his dungeon trying to bring him back, I rather see astarion visit druge not that husk of a person xd
This ending was so sad for me as I had backed and romanced gale all the way through to become a god , I also resisted the dark urge and played a good character but cursed took the Bhaals gift because Bhaal said he would kill her and I the end did the right thing then lock herself in a jail. There’s my character wetting herself and still trying to fight saying NO NO but Bhaal as her like puppet. What story and what a tragedy. Gale your god help please but no. Maybe Laurian will added some more urge endings to ends.
This game is wild. 11/10 . BG3 as we all know almost * pardimes life. The sickos. The lovers. The white/dark Knights. I wish I could translate BG3 into a TV show that could be made on netflix without sucking. This is the most depraved ending. Its not the only ending. This game lets you decide. AI, demons, God, Atheism, Pragmatism, Love, Kindness, Understanding and most IMPORTANT, Reflection. Its like it was distilled into a game, that is fun and extremly challenging. Only those who finish know. But it Reflects life. P.S. Dont kill anyone. Be good to your people. One love.
Ffs I have a save for my durge at the docks, fone what you said but durge became TOTALLY part of the urge itself and lost control of her person. Maybe that's why this doesn't trigger the scene 😞😞 have you followed all your impulse?
I don't like the implications of breeding, especially directed at Astarion :V' Also not sure if the game is implying that feral!durge has basically sired hundreds of ill-gotten kids at this point.
The breeding thing can be because of the actual biology of this specifc durge (we dont know if the player chose to give them female anatomy) or its implying the use of magic against the other party. A good enough wizard can do just about anything after all. And trust me, durge is very explicitly confirmed to have fucked a lot before the game starts. most are likely not breathing when it happens, unwilling or if you have bad luck when doing a specific scene, actually related to you. So a good handful of unholy spawn are very likely running around murdering.
It was what Bhaal did in the prologue of the baldur’s gate games when he was mortal. He slept with many potential mates to bear his children from human to dragons. He forced Durge to do the same. So it’s kinda sad.
no what gets me is mr. Vampire Ascendant didn’t smell his lover / spawn and notice like ???? or hear ??? get a refund man also- you’d think the spawn thing would somewhat challenge bhaals control since both are to do with blood? idk i might be overthinking it
The party is a bit cursed because some companions didn't show up and others were, as you can see, glitchy, but I think it's because this save originally had lots of mods, all of which I uninstalled after the patch. Including the mod that put the lovely Half-Elf Face E on my elf Durge, R.I.P. his pretty face. Oh and the Haarlep underwear is mine, not there by default.
Can you kill yourself in this scene though? It's dark and I love it, but I don't think I'd ever go for it.
You can ks if you have another custom character Tav in your party. You would just show up at the party as a wisp thou. While your non-Durge can do all the talkings.
Imagine Durge taking the time to put on his best Bussy-pop outfit before going to murder everyone though...
Did you accept the bhaals gift or resisted before doing the ending choses? When i accepted bhaals gift, the only option at the end was to offer all to bhaal.
I couldnt even load my modded saves after deleting mods

Honestly I was kinda hoping for Astarion to notice you and defeat you, only to look on in sadness and promise to try and remember your name, before ending tav's life. Would be too kind an ending for the chosen of Bhaal tho
Well this is sort of an open ending, yes Durge plans to strike while they sleep, but will they succeed? Your scenario is still technically possible, maybe in parallel to the Astarion first bite scene.
@@lightskitty Its all very 'Next time on Baldur's Gate', even if it does work as its own ending.
damn 😭 it's like with Sebastian
@@shirosenpie6065Sebastian?
I was kind of hoping it would skip to the next morning, the camp covered in with their bodies, as the durge has a moment to look on his prior lover and feel his actions, before being fully consumed by Bhaal
"Piss yourself" I died
damnnnnn it‘s good. durge’s storyline never fails to impress me! thank you for sharing, i’ve been dying to see that one
Holy crap this is so dark.
“In this new, hit game you can play as a serial killer with a gay vampire boyfriend.” *Wins every award.*
Fan fact, i had no lovers run, also bacame an illithid, there was no dialog option about lovers and breeding, but i could piss myself somehow
starting a new playthrough just for this to be a good durge now, just finished an evil durge where i take the brain, understandingly but sadly i don’t think there’s an epilogue for a dead world ending
Why is "piss yourself" an option? 😅😂
LOL I mean if you’re already supernaturally-tweaking, I can see that happening.
Such a good option tbh. Really highlights the animalistic broken state you are in.
I tried it and it basically shows your piss dripping from the wooden log you're standing on, the narrator saying you're worse than an animal
@@margonite.morenaoof, that's so dark. I love this.
'piss yourself'
Literally becomes "Murder Hobo"
“There thou art.” You can tell withers missed the tav. Hoping we were still in there.. somewhere.
Withers calling you a friend is the best
I'm playing Dark Urge right now and this made me really sad and sympathize so much with a fictional character. He saved the world, but it cost him everything.
That's Bhaal for you. He's probably the worst god next to Shar.
Yea well maybe DONT give in to Bhaal for a slayer form next time
@Xxsorafan do you get a different ending if you don't get the slayer?
@@hadvar.the.viking I haven’t finished the game yet but I beat Orin in a duel and rejected Bhaal and withers said Bhaal took away any influence he had over me when he killed me so I’m assuming it will be different.
Edit: it is a different ending. I imagine similar if not identical to tav playthrough
Well they wanted you to rott in jail so
Withers speech at the cell didn't matter at all lol. He painted him as if he was the hero at the end, just to leave him rotting there and forget about him, not even attempting to help.
Because Withers can't do shit. He can revive people, that's about it, and you were deep in Bhaal's grasps at that point so even if Withers had revived you, you would still be a Bhaalspawn.
The sole solution for Durge to escape is for Bhaal to take the blood away himself.
Others aswell not so they are dead instead of find a way get baals influence out of the Body fix cure they planned to let you rott suffer not even mercy through death they die now freed of jail forced to be baals puppet
@@haihuynh8772i guess they dont have holy blood the oppiside of baals demonic blood
@@haihuynh8772hmm or a absorb magic to drew baal out baal literallycmind Controller posten tue mind like the brain parasite
I love this tragic end, but for my Durge, it didn’t quite make sense, I had set up two back-up plans in Gale and Astarion becoming a God and Asending respectively, but they couldn’t look out for their Bro who was always there for them, supportive of their horrible decision making? You telling me a God of Ambition can’t help the most ambitious man alive? Vampire Lord can’t keep a beast under control? It hurt more then the Shadowheart bit in my brief epilogue.
Still, Good (Horrible) End
I just got this ending unintentionally after gale promising to help me with my affliction repeatedly then suddenly he only cares about the crown and becoming a god? 😭 it also considered minthara my main lover for some reason
My favorite thing about this is that you can choose to piss yourself
This is leagues better than the cut bad ending.
Mom, can you come pick me up? I'm scared 😢. Holy hells, this ending is terrifying
I was wondering. Does the party mourn or have different reactions now for the durge suicide ending? Or continuing the path to live on with the curse? Also Ty for showing this ^w^
you get a cutscene with withers in limbo saying that you are free but he doesn't know your future if you kill yourself no party in that case
@@burgerflipper6969"If you kill yourself, no party in that case" - I screamed at that, sorry.
@@Deadpan_Snarkerare you retarded?
You also get this ending if you die to Orin in the temple of Bhaal, I’m so glad I saved before fighting her because I got this ending and was so distraught over it I had to fix it myself 😭
I was so pissed. I was on honor mode, got her down to two punches left, and when I punched her again, LEGENDARY ACTION
SHE HIT ME FOR 30-210 DMG. I died on my own turn
I love it because it was the perfect ending for my evil playthrough. All my companions were evil feckers too, so my perfect ending would be if Durge killed them that night.
I love how after patch5 dropped,we are getting all these videos about diff endings and closures and majority i've seen has romanced Astarion,we just cant get away from such a good performance by his VA. ofc the rest of our companions are solid too
Patch 5 has been an amazing early christmas present. The closures, the bug fixes plus the ever anticipated Honour mode
RIP durge tho, going in blindly while Lazeal is there, she'll disect him
Mine was Lae'zel because of her love of combat and therefore killinv shite. Felt fitting for him to be attracted to her on that basis. I guess a vampire makes sense too lmao.
@@thegatorhator6822 i hated lazeal at first but my opinion changed so much after experiencing her story. Its one of the best
And having her in a party is just a massive boon coz after the creche, she basically has a lot of gith specific gear that are all really strong
I had the polyamory mod and romanced everyone, the game still focused Astarion at the end lol
this is so dark and fucked up omg thank u for recording this!!
Oh wow, so dark and detailed. Larian really blessed us with this present. Now I want to try every twist in the game from the very beginning to witness all ending possibilities myself, this game will never let me go.
Still more wholesome than the ending for this scenario that never made it to the actual game
Tell me more, please.
@@synthraofficial5366pretty sure they might be referring to the ending that involved durge basically becoming a breeding machine, not sure tho
@@whatthefoxsays-here Correct, and with species that do not pass the Harkness test for the purpose of creating monsters.
@@melonman6522 I mean, that ending is still sort of implied to be happening here. 4:05 :
"You are Bhaal's stallion - many of your own Bhaalspawn have been born to die in this half-year"
I've seen the last minute or so of the ending a few times, but this is my first time hearing 3:00. Damn is that heartbreaking.
I Hope we will see in 2 Big DLCs
a) The journey to help Karlach and Wyld to Avernus where we meet again with Hope and "fix Karlach's heart
and
b) the journey to help Lae'zel to fight Vlaakith and free her people and avenge or help Orpheus .( Depends on what choices you made)
Uhm, Avernus is cut content, because L couldn't bother finishing the game and your basically suggesting that after L fucked everyone over, they should DLC it, the same shit everyone is upset over in every game that remove stuff for DLC milking the customers...
What is up with the blind idiocy of everyone. Don't suggest they SCREW us over for crying out loud.
@@miravlix you seem like a fun, well adjusted person...
@@miravlix For me the game is an ode to gamers and gaming community and I feel that they respected me as a consumer and a gamer. But in the end of the day everyone has their own opinion and this is ok .
@@miravlixThey can only do so much man 😂☠️
@@miravlix”couldnt bother finishing the game” girl what 💀 y’all never satisfied with what ur given lmao, u try making such a huge game with a limited budget and see if u can “bother” finishing it within the deadline
Well, this looks as if they die, but this is only one-sided narration of our Tav, he believes he can pull it off and has a chance, but what really happened, we can only guess... This is still somewhat open ending, like with Karlach. Besides, we see some dialog options and I wonder, if the ending can change when changing some of those options.
When durge kills their lover earlier in the game, they didn't I fight back while sleeping and no one heard it. So I think they're probably all dead because the game treats you as helpless against the urge in your sleep. I tried most of the options, nothing changes besides whether you piss yourself or not
@@UnseenOctDoubt that would be the case here. Depends on the endings, you would have a god, a high-ranking Shar cultist, a Githyanki that has been fighting non-stop for a few months, and a mindflayer that can read minds. At least one person would have an ability or enough durability that you would never be able to kill them in their sleep.
@haihuynh8772 but theyre up against a God's direct descendent who:
A. Is living mainly to be punished. Death would be good for you, the person who ruined Bhaals ultimate plot at the very last moment and killing your lovedones is the ultimate punishment
B. Is needed to make more bhaalspawn
C. Has presumably been killing even more nonstop like a feral animal
D. Is arguably the most powerful and most skilled of the group
No one is durable against a knife in the neck in regular clothes. Also, mindflayers sleep, so I'm not sure it matters. Technically, astarion should have been in a meditative trance but aware, but you still kill him with 0 difficulty or resistance or without awakening anyone
@@UnseenOct And the Bhaalspawn is twitching and barely moving right. Even if they could do stealth, at least one of the companions should have an ability to detect their presence now, not to mention security around camp, something someone SHOULD be paranoid about. Then it's just a matter of up to 7 fighters against one naked person with a fancy dagger.
And not to mention Bhaal could simply be sending them to their death as they have already sired new spawns for Bhaal, he could simply be disposing of them out of spite now.
@@haihuynh8772 well, they didn't see them staring directly from the brushes a few yards away all night while they pissed themself. Of course, they're deranged, but they're only slightly more deranged than orin, honestly. I don't feel like 6 months of being a sex slave is near punishment enough. You were a once-in-an-eternity miracle, an immaculate conception, and you destroyed the most perfect plan. Bane is probably still torturing Gortash for simply failing and not even betraying his god
The moment you try to kill your party they jump and oneshot you
I am interested on seeing how Astarion will give birth....
The fact that they can _piss_ themselves..
starfield WISHES it could have this level of writing
For reals. It doesn’t even come close
I regret buying Starfield in the first place. It's so boring omg. But them again, BG3 ruined a lot of games for me..:D
“Piss yourself” 😭😭😭 I’m dead
Astarion 100% knows you are there.
It would fit with the ascened Astarion as he is confident in his power but the scene is same with spawn so i am not sure about that
I like how its implied from the twitching that the Durge has Kuru from all the cannibalism
>uses restoration
>still a crazed killer but less neck pain :D
This is a weird ending. I dont see Durge winning a fight against Withers at all, let alone against all the other party members. So I am guessing this is a suicidal bad ending.
You did kill your lover in their sleep with 0 resistance. Since they're waiting for everyone to goto bed, I assume you take everyone out easily. Bhaal needs you to breed and also wants to humiliate you in every way imaginable anyways
Withers is a bystander he won’t interfere with you killing the party
Wrong controlled by baal you are stronger
They will die they still had chance than you sayed kill me but they dont even mercy that instead rott in jail spare but that Made baal control so they are dead even ascended astarion it backfired
This is so sad :(
Here's hoping Ascendant Astarion can put his lover out of his misery that night. This being Ascendant, though, I suspect he would allow Durge to kill any present who oppose his plans for conquest before putting down Durge or at least flitting off as a bat unharmed.
I wonder if the outcome changes if you are a vampire spawn and also ended up in prison
That's exactly what was the case on this game save yes. My Durge had been turned into a vampire spawn.
@@margonite.morenai dont get why ast didnt come see us in jail or even try to help us though. We are still his beloved bride. I thought we would get more precious moments with him in the bad ending as his consort but i guess not??
@@foxyloxyBABEbecause ascendent astarion doesnt care about anyone really. He says himself he can replace you
I’m surprised he can’t just compel you to not murder him, but I guess orders from a god would probably trump vampire master orders so that makes sense
Wtf....this is the absolute worst ending
Good luck attacking them when J is around Baal-Spawn. This is the end of the line.
I'm curious as to how Astarion and Male Durge could sire spawns
Surrogacy
It's called dark magic from an evil God.
Bhaal seed got that dark magic. No man is safe. Try not to think about where the baby is gonna come out
Could be like… some sorta egg sack shit? Or a spiritual pregnancy?
@@muldrothamadness he might go blind a week before he gives birth
Damn…..that’s just sad man
They are chill, Lizzie and Karlach have sentinel feat so no one can surprise them
This reminds me of VTM when you lose all your humanity... and you become your beast.
This is exactly the type of ending system Mass Effect 3 needed to be successful. Meaningful good and bad endings. This would have made that game a masterpiece at the time. I hope future games learn from this.
"Piss yourself* was not an option I was expecting to see. Holy hell.
baldur's gate is simply such an amazing masterpiece of a game, it's the only turn based game I played till the end and I have enjoyed it's every moment when creating my story. The Ascencion of my character and his growth was something to behold. Good fucking job to these people that poured their souls in this game : )
That was such a freaking spooky ending.
I love Larian for giving us so many wonderful editions, but for the love of god, look after yourselves and take a break. This can't be healthy 🙈
Some of us are severely depressed and prefer this to the alternative
You're absolutely right mate. Be safe and do enough self care fellow bdg3 fans! Your opinions and well being matters! 😊
Oh damnnn that was actually scary holy moly
Ngl having this scene and playing durge as other than the dragonborne dude, looks hilarious 😂.
mpreg real???????????????
It's the same ending if you choose anything other than killing yourself on the docks. I picked the one where I convinced myself that my will remained because of the tadpole and it showed this ending. I even went to Avernus with Karlach and Wyll but it didn't matter.
A freaking nightmare. I accidentally create a Durge for my first run, and I did my best to silence the urge. I thought I may have a bitter sweet ending, but noooo I'm doomed, crawling like a zombie to my next prey. Bro, it hurt.
this ending happens only if you accept the urge but defile it at the ending. So, if u are resisting it the entire game, u should not get this ending
You also get this if you lose the duel to Orin as well :) @@mecchido
@@kristinak2763I won the duel and got this
If only Larian made the MC fully voiced. Imagine the performance of the Durge during this moment
When Orion looked more reasonable...
Ngl i thought i was making some top tier high iq plays when I thought i could outsmart gods and demons and such...
Withers seems to be full of great ideas. /s
But leaving baalspawn in easily breakable rusty old cage takes the cake.
I'd love a 4th wall breaking ending where the narrator is brought into the story.
„They‘d never make a child with ou!“
I mean… duh. Poor Astarion, he hasn’t even done anything wrong this time… 😂
So I got this after I changed my choice in the final battle. My question is, do you simply get no epilogue at all if you side with Bhaal and control the nether brain? I only seem to get any additional content if I destroy it.
That appears to be the case yes. Taking over the world with the brain doesn't have any epilogue party.
Why would you? Everyone’s being controlled to kill eachother
Ok good. I started to write a comment about "how is he still in a cell?" Then he immediately broke out.
Licks blade… Then immediately realizes what that means, “I shouldn’t have done that.” Drops dead.
Just commenting on the thumb nail cuz it reminded me of that.
This is such a sad ending for durge 😭
I need some clarification, is the “6 months later” scene the same no matter what path you take with dark urge? I’m on my evil durge run and plan to let Astarion ascend!
I'm pretty sure you only get this if you lose in the duel in act 3 AND if you become Bhaal's chosen but in the end decide to destroy the brain instead.
@@kristinak2763winning the duel and and becoming chosen gets you something different?
You get this ending if you accept Bhaal after defeating Orin, but then choose to destroy the brain (as opposed to the murderpocalypse).
Kinda sucks that only ending where I didnt make Lae'zel sad is the one where i made her my thrall. Prison, Defy, and KYS all made her sad or dead.
Kinda sad Withers didnt give you another chance to redeem yourself. If you reject Bhaal at the temple, Withers revives you. If you reject Bhaal by not giving him the elder brain and then defying him by dying or locking yourself up so you don't hurt anyone, Withers just condemns you to your fate. Like bro i still defied Bhaal but you wont help Tav get better
ig the logic is that if you accept Bhaal, Bhaal destroys the part of you that wasnt tied to him (the part that Withers revives at the temple). And Larian wanted an excuse for a truly devastating ending for the Dark Urge
Probably, but i also think that if you accept him you shouldn't be able to change that after, would feel kind of off. There is consiquence to actions after all.
Probably by pledging yourself to Bhaal, you're now out of Withers's hands. Not to mention he can't cure you, he can only bring you back without Bhaal's blood tainting you.
To me, I just don't think Larian cares too much about the Dark Urge because they are a custom origin character.
Withers redeeming the dark urge after he had every chance to turn his back on bhaal after he confronted him at the temple and still pledged himself to him makes no sense. after you defied bhaal at the last nanosecond months ago, NOW you want to rebel and redeem yourself after six months of being controlled by the notoriously evil god who you aligned with? Withers is in the right there, it would just seem like durge would want to leave bhaal after suffering for months and not out of any good intentions.
You gave every last piece of yourself to bhaal. There's nothing left for him to save
Narrator: Talks about your PC having a child with their lover.
The PC: Is a male who romanced another male.
This is ending is actually so disturbing and scary to me..
Yay! Blood for the Murder God! 🥳💀💀💀💀💀
I wish we saw druge interact with Astarion in my dreams he defeats him and keeps him in his dungeon trying to bring him back, I rather see astarion visit druge not that husk of a person xd
Something happened between shadowheart & astarion? Why are they walking together?
I doubt it. She had a clear interest in Gale
This ending was so sad for me as I had backed and romanced gale all the way through to become a god , I also resisted the dark urge and played a good character but cursed took the Bhaals gift because Bhaal said he would kill her and I the end did the right thing then lock herself in a jail. There’s my character wetting herself and still trying to fight saying NO NO but Bhaal as her like puppet. What story and what a tragedy. Gale your god help please but no. Maybe Laurian will added some more urge endings to ends.
This game is wild. 11/10 . BG3 as we all know almost * pardimes life. The sickos. The lovers. The white/dark Knights. I wish I could translate BG3 into a TV show that could be made on netflix without sucking. This is the most depraved ending. Its not the only ending. This game lets you decide. AI, demons, God, Atheism, Pragmatism, Love, Kindness, Understanding and most IMPORTANT, Reflection. Its like it was distilled into a game, that is fun and extremly challenging. Only those who finish know. But it Reflects life. P.S. Dont kill anyone. Be good to your people. One love.
Are those bridge 4 tattoos?
Yes Daddy Baal. I'm a good boy.
Ffs I have a save for my durge at the docks, fone what you said but durge became TOTALLY part of the urge itself and lost control of her person. Maybe that's why this doesn't trigger the scene 😞😞 have you followed all your impulse?
Is there anyway to regain control?
I don't like the implications of breeding, especially directed at Astarion :V'
Also not sure if the game is implying that feral!durge has basically sired hundreds of ill-gotten kids at this point.
Ooh, then sweet summer child, you don't know. And it's best if you stay unaware.
The breeding thing can be because of the actual biology of this specifc durge (we dont know if the player chose to give them female anatomy) or its implying the use of magic against the other party. A good enough wizard can do just about anything after all.
And trust me, durge is very explicitly confirmed to have fucked a lot before the game starts. most are likely not breathing when it happens, unwilling or if you have bad luck when doing a specific scene, actually related to you. So a good handful of unholy spawn are very likely running around murdering.
@@j.a.r.5974I chose male genitals and pronouns for my Durge. So yes it's just all weird like that.
@@margonite.morena could be a ritual thing with magic then. Bhaal spawn get up to freaky shit so I wouldn't be surprised
They chose to just keep it simple and not actually go into details how DU would sure with their lover. Surrogacy exists you know
“Your new children” I know murder is about to happen but how dark Durge cheat on Astarion??
It was what Bhaal did in the prologue of the baldur’s gate games when he was mortal. He slept with many potential mates to bear his children from human to dragons. He forced Durge to do the same. So it’s kinda sad.
no what gets me is mr. Vampire Ascendant didn’t smell his lover / spawn and notice like ???? or hear ??? get a refund man
also- you’d think the spawn thing would somewhat challenge bhaals control since both are to do with blood? idk i might be overthinking it
Shouldve shown multiple choices so we could see the other options too lol
