My apologies if there's already a thread on this topic, but I couldn't find one. Basically, I'm confused about some aspects of the Bhaalspawn lore. Spoilers abound for Act 3.

1. The Dark Urge:
Are they really a total creation by Bhaal, and if so, how does that work with souls and all that? I was coming around to the idea of Bhaalspawn being able to be second generation (like Orin) and then the game is like "but Bhaal also created a special Bhaalspawn by himself before he was even resurrected again" and now I'm confused.

2. Sarevok and Orin: I am already not a fan of how Sarevok was characterized here, and now I've seen that
he is possibly Orin's father AND grandfather
which is really gross and does his character even more dirty. Like please don't take away the nuance from a well-established character and turn them into a one-note evil
incestuous rapist
. If they wanted to make another Bhaalspawn character for this role, go ahead, but don't do it to Sarevok. I haven't actually hit this part of the game yet, so I don't know if it's confirmed or just an assumption the PC can make, but yikes.

It's possible. There are some parental issues on display in Orin's chambers.
