Before anybody writes an indignant response, I’m just kidding and oversimplifying a bit. I fully appreciate that not everybody wants to be an edgelord.
Lol! But I think it's a matter of execution. The Bhaalspawn's narrative didn't revolve around them constantly warding off violent urges to avoid going into a fugue state where they saw off people's arms. It was a bit more subtle, and had a quite a bit more buildup. Gale is one of the first people you meet right out of the prologue... the 'serial killer' aspect is pushed perhaps a little too far out the gate?
