Firstly, consider renaming yourself to "Annoying Player" – it appears to be a more fitting choice. Secondly, it's worth noting that the Dark Urge dialogue options aren't present in all conversations. Are we both playing the same game, or are you simply raising illogical points to underline your tendency toward being bothersome? My inclination is to believe the latter. This implies that the annoyance factor is unlikely to increase significantly, but I suspect you might be the type of person who manages to be irked by just about everything, even rolling a natural 20 on that.
I've responded out of courtesy, although I won't anticipate reading your reply as I've set your profile to ignore. Your argumentation appears incredibly narrow-minded, lacking any understanding of my initial point. It leaves me questioning why I'm even extending this courtesy. Best of luck in dealing with your personal challenges; I imagine you'll require it. [/align]
Man, for someone that is pretending to be nice, you're doing a shitty job of it. The poster was just discussing their opinion on the DU, and you're coming out swinging with the personal attacks. Maybe YOU need to step back a bit.
My intention is not to appear "nice", but rather to maintain a sense of courtesy. It can be somewhat frustrating when my ideas are brushed off as 'dumb,' especially considering the recurring misinterpretation of my text due to incomprehensive reading. I find it somewhat ironic that I'm being seen as the one in the wrong here. The situation is rather amusing, to say the least, but whatever. I have no problem with setting your profile to ignore as well. Good day.
HAHAHAHA, Wow, what a load of shit. I give my opinion, I question if that is a good design choice and you do what? Put me on ignore list and are ready to put others as well.
Okay, 'Omkara' if this is what you call yourself. Make your point clear and concise in a single short sentence and then we can talk. Prefferably in TLDR at the top of your post.
Right now, I get the felling you want to be constantly fighting the urges at every point in the game, with every NPC, every decision, etc. That the Dark Urge should be forced to roll a saving throw whenever they interact with anyone or anything. You want someone that literally wants to kill everyone and will kill anyone, if they fail a saving throw. If that is how you want to play, more power to you. But, if you genuinely think that is a fun way to play, I think you will find out that no, that is not how most people want to play.
It's one thing to have urges, compulsion to kill, to want to hurt others, as Dark Urge already does. Many times the narrator straight out says that you have got terrible thoughts, like the first time you meet Astarion and Gale. There are times, when you can try to resist the urge, but they are not everywhere, at every opportunity. And there are times when you do lose control of character and the urge causes harm to anothers, whether you like it or not.
Also, 'Annoying Player', really? I didn't call you out, didn't put you on ignore list, but as soon as someone disagrees with you, you put them on ignore list, AFTER you edited the post??? Hah, nice, good one, mate. But, since you started this thread, the two can play this game.
Anyway, back to the task at hand. I loved playing as a Dark Urge, when compared to TAV. Tav is a good choice for first time players, because they can play as themselves, but for all intents and purposes they are blank. And really, I like the concept of it. However, I won't deny that it's implementation is less than perfect. Because it doesn't matter how horrible you act for the majority of ACT 1 and 2, the only thing that matters that puts on the evil path is a few NPCs.
This is a bit lacklustre, no question about that. If anything, commiting to Dark Urge on certain occassions should make it easier to resist in the future. I don't think that's the case. Why? Because there aren't almost any moments where you genuinely have to resist. In fact, I believe one of the interviews stated as such. This isn't the case, probably due to early release, as it's quite obvious the game is unfinished, especially ACT 3.
Maybe in the future or in the Definitive Edition that will be changed. However, right now, Dark Urge could use more than 2 NPCs that you can kill, from what I have gathered. Maybe, torture violently Minthara or something, just an idea. Not sure, how it goes in ACT 3, if you commit to the urges.
