How are everyone’s stories coming along? Have you finished the game? If so how many times?

What tips, remarks or other things of note do you have that you want to discuss here?

As always try to keep things as spoiler free as possible.

Also should I do these posts more regularly (shows up on people’s feeds more and so has more traction) or like this is fine. Definitely don’t want to spam people.

Lucky rolls to you all!

After seeing an article about dark urge and how special it is I decided to give it a shot. I also read a comment on here saying romance between Shadowheart and Seluna's cleric MC is great. So I decided to combine those two things for my 3rd playthrough! ( i have yet to experience act 2 btw...think I have a problem)

I made a Seldarine drow with the idea being that she used to be bloodthirsty Lolth sworn but eventually she found Seluna and became her cleric, now she's trying to be better. I thought that worked well with heroic dark urge story I wanted and I get to experience the enemies to lovers relationship with shadowheart. Don't know if the way the story will unravel will validate my headcanoned backstory for her but so far I'm quite enjoying it.

This is also the first playthrough where I met Timber the squirrel, I didn't know he was in the game before this playthrough, I was kinda excited to meet him...yeah.

Im at the end of my durge run rn. My advice would be to not shy away from doing evil things despite what other people say about losing out on content. You really dont miss that much, and you get some pretty sweet cutscenes, especially if you commit to it. Plus, astarion and minthara will support you the entire way on your descent into darkness :)

You know I would do that if for nothing else than just for the sake of variety, but I'm such a coward >.> Just don't have the stomach for it lol. The idea of this messed up person redeeming themselves is appealing to me, I'm not doing 100% "goody two shoes" kinda character but more of a reluctant hero who's still bit of a dick. Maybe I'll start another playthrough where I play the way you're suggesting...I'll never experience act 2 at this rate <.<

If it helps, if you give in to the urge you unlock special powers and stuff.

Next playthrough for sure, this one I wanna get the heroic dark urge experience.
