Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Dark Urge and Tav?

First of all: wow. Mindblowing - MINDBLOWING - last PFH.

I have a countdown on my watch now until August 3rd and will play this game like crazy.

Just a question, though: can in multiplayer a Tav and a Dark Urge play together?

Pretty sure you should be able to play even 2 Dark Urges, you're technically 2 different players so yeah, you can play Tav and DU on multi for sure.

Great! Thats what we're looking for here!

I can't imagine yet how much fun we will have with this super-over-the-top game.

Enjoy the ride, I can't wait either

If you look at the character selection menu, there is a separate section for Tavs and from Origins. Durge in is the Origin section, so it is unlikely that you can run two of them, just like you can't run two Shadowhearts or Gales. Even though Durge doesn't have a specific race or class, they are a very specific and singular character.

Do you have a source on that? In the character creator Durge is treated like an origin, so if we can have two of them it would kind of be like having two Astarions or two Shadowhearts. I genuinely have no idea of how multiplayer handles this and haven't seen it discussed anywhere, though it's an excellent question.

EDIT: I see benbaxter was in the middle of saying much the same thing as I was writing this

Great minds and all that

I would also point out that DOS2 prevented you from picking the same origin character, so there is precedent for that.

It was just my guess, I'm sure about being able to play Tav and DU tho, wich was the actual answer OP wanted.

I understand why you cannot play 2 shadowhearts or 2 gales but considering DU is 100% customizable I don't see how is it any different than playing 2 Tavs, yes DU has more background but I don't see why that would prevent 2 different players play that same origin.

EDIT: Again, just what I think, I might be completly wrong.

apparently there were some comments from one of the devs indicating that while DU won't be recruitable if you aren't playing as them, they *will* show up as an npc later in the game.

"You are the chosen one!"

--whisper, whisper--

"Um. You are the chosen two!"

Everybody in the party is all kinds of special. I see what you mean but I don't think it's a compelling argument.
