I and a friend of mine just finished campaign, and I wanted to share a small suggestion based on what we encountered.
I personally was playing a normal character (Human-Oathbreaker), and I was a host. My friend was playing Dark Urge.
My freind went by a path of killing Orin during duel in Baal temple. So, supposedly his true ending is mass massacre by taking control over Absolute.
During the last fight, when the crown was defeated, he had no option to choose the baal ending - as I was the host and was in charge of decisions. Well, a reason to re-run the game with him as host, BUT.
The 'good ending', when player encourage Emperor to destroy the brain, is technically a bad end for Dark Urge. During a scene on the pier, it has 4 options to choose: Try to fight Baal, accept, kill himself and voluntarily enchain himself to not hurt ppl. Theoretically the last two options are kind of 'well, my friends do actually matter to me, if I let all things go this way - as Absolute is destroyed and world is saved'.
We have checked what will happen with the first two, out of curiosity - in both cases Dark Urge arrives to the 'last dinned', willing to kill. My friend romanced Shadowheart, but even this did not stop him - tho he tried the relevant options, as it just cannot resist the will of God. Okay, got it.
The last option, with enchain, is also more or less understandable.
But the issue comes with the third option, when Dark Urge commits suicide.
Later on we see a short scene, where Wither resurrects Dark Urge, as a gift for its will and what was actually done for the world and since (s)he is now free from Baal influence. As far as I understood the same happens if Dark Urge decides to betray baal in its temple.
But Dark Urge still appears as a wisp during the 'last dinner'. Why? It is alive, it is free from Baal influence, it has a love - why wisp?
That actually was a bit of disappointing piece there.
Can some1 explain why it happened? Or it is just an overlook from story perspective due to combination of host-story-decisions we made? Let Dark Urge speak with Shadowheart (or, well, any other love interest), they went through so many things together. Baal curse is now cured.
