The Urge Objectives

 Be yourself! Think dirty thoughts!
  • You really can't help it, can you? These vile things you do... Don't you wonder why you're doing them? You must really have been an awful person before the crash... Perhaps it's better that you forgot about it. But you want to know, don't you?
  • Special, yes, special, aren't you? Ssh, don't fight it. You know what you need to do. Take up that knife, do what you do best. Easy as breathing. You'll fell better after.
Get over it! Spill more blood!
  • Oh, don't look so scandalised. This is definitely not the first time you've done thid. Quil have have grown up to become the age's great songstress, byt you - you can be the msot prolific killer in the history of the Realms! It will be easy - you can do it in your sleep!
Trust the Butler.
  • Sceleritas Fel is a murderer's murderer. He will set you right. Don't worry, as I'm sure you can tell, you can't help but be a prodigy spree-killer. It's in your perfect nature. While you may have forgotten your past, you can't forget what you were best at! Just follow your Butler. You can trust him!
Kill that sweet cleric!
  • Is-o-bel. Cleric of Selûne. Defender of Last Light. Died summer 1492 DR. Slap it on a headstone - doesn't it sound right? The Butler told you to kill her. The Butler knows what's best for you. He knows ho to get you old life back. Isn't that all you want? To find out who you were, and get back being that glorious old butcher?
Reflect on your misbehaviour.
  • The Butler gave you another chance. Kill your darling. But you didn't - you spent the night tied up, playing out a farce as a wriggling, squirming slug. Humiliating. You can be so much more than that screaming heap. Come back to yourself.

  • During your first interaction with Gale, Dark Urge can cut off his hand by selecting the "Fantasize about hacking off the hand." dialogue option.
  • If you talk to the squirrel near the Druid Grove elevator, you will just kill it.

      In my run I helped to kidnap Isobel so I had to kill Shadowheart (because of the romance) and when the others wake up you need to pass a persuasion check DC 30 or they will attack you

        When you kill Isobel, her corpse will get stolen by some flying creature during a cutscene.
        However, if you cast a Banishment on her, it triggers the cutscene, but Isobel will still return as soon as banisment ends. And now you can kill her and loot the corpse if you want, she has some decent unique equipment.

          I picked the urge because it was the only customizable origin, but also suspecting it might be a bhaalspawn. Tone is way different from BG1 / BG2 / TOB bhaalspawns though. I mean yeah there were times your slayer form went nuts but it was like a completely subconscious thing, unless you unleashed it voluntarily for extended periods, whereas in BG3 you have the demon Malady from DOS2 whispering in your ear about how awesome it is to murder people, chop off hands, eat dwarves, etc. etc., and sometimes you doing it whether you like it or not. Also your party members don't take you murdering people well, but you get the same disapproval as anything else so it doesn't really matter. Now that I think of it it's kind of weird that Keldorn, Mazzy, Minsc, Anomen and the other goody goodies didn't seem to care about you being a bhaalspawn. Or maybe they were capable of seeing the bigger picture in stopping worse bhaalspawn?
