Unlike the other protagonists, Dark Urge is a fully customizable character, including class, appearance, species, and gender. Those who play as the Dark Urge will enact pretty severe acts of violence and an urge to do the unthinkable. This is due to a parasitic tadpole infecting their brain, also causing memory loss.
“The Dark Urge is guided by Sceleritas Fel, voiced by Brian Bowles (narrator in Divinity: Original Sin 2). Fel is a vile and loyal servant who lives only to see the Dark Urge return to its rightful, bloodstained path. His words of encouragement are like a poison in your mind, fueling your impulses – but it’s a poison that tastes like honey, if you’re so inclined. Despite your impulses as the Dark Urge, you are still a member of an adventuring party facing an arduous journey to Baldur’s Gate. Your party, in spite of your urges, will do its best to be there for you. For those party members you grow closest to, you can still form relationships and romances – but how they manifest compared to the others, however, is a tale only you can tell.”
Moreover, the third and final antagonist, Orin the Red, voiced by Maggie Robertson, was teased. She’s a shapeshifting murderer aiming to cause inestimable havoc in the city.
Players can look forward to the following character creation teaser:
New skin options like freckles, vitiligo, scars
New tattoo designs
Heterochromia
Lip makeup customization
Accessories like earrings and piercings
Horn color customization for Tieflings
