Here, let me frame my issue.
- I want to play a custom character.
- I want to play a good character that is in complete control of their actions.
- A certain NPC that is core to the Dark Urge experience is one of my favorite NPCs in the game. If anything were to happen to them because of something that I simply couldn't control, I would simply stop playing. (no, i'm not exaggerating)
Now, with those two points, can you argue that Dark Urge is simply a Tav+ in every way?
I honestly don't understand your issues...only one death of a minor character you would never see again regardless is forced on you...that's it. Maybe a squirel death too but that can be avoided by not interacting with the squirrel. And you only have to do wisdom saving throws during one event. That's literally it...every other dark urge event can be avoided. And in return for those very minor inconveniences you get so much more. New revelations and plot twists related to the main story and one of the most epic scenes seen in any game. Just a far better and more complete version of the main BG3 story.
Well that minor character is a) beloved and b) not so minor - you meet her again later, if she is alive. ANd jus tbecause you get a super uber cape, doesn't make it easier, if you are attached to that character.. And I personally liek her to be alive and happy with Lakrissa more than a cape.
And you are playing a serial killer - as I wrote in the other thread, you have to be in the mood for that. And I think people just have different viewpoints on what they want to play. I'm currently not in the mood to play Hannibal Lecter
