You mean because he tried to bite you in your sleep? I was freaked out about that until I heard his backstory. It's quite tragic.
I liked that he was mischievous, and that he always had alternative ideas about what we should do. I wouldn't have even thought to do some of the things he suggested. If you're not playing a good alignment playthrough, then he's probably the best companion. I was planning a good alignment playthrough, but ended up more like chaotic neutral because of his influence.
Some of his reactions when I played a little bit of the Dark Urge really underlined just how little he cares about if you're good or bad, as long as you're interesting and fun to be around he's in
Also totally didn't surprise me when, while everyone else is all "I couldn't possibly use those tadpoles, what's the matter with you?!", Asterion is over here like "so when am I getting some?"
My favorite group for a durge run is Astarion, Gale, and Minthara since they all lust for power just like my Durge.
You were able to recruit Minthara? Man, your playthrough must have been bonkers! Don't you lose half your companions to get her?
You can recruit Minthara and Halsin and save the grove all in the same playthrough if you're smart. There are many paths to victory in BG3.
Silly me, I destroyed the bridge she was crossing and dropped her in a hole. 😂
Yeah, it really changes his character when you find out what Cazador did to him. And why he hates the Gur. Dude has a very tragic story.
