I'm not judging you but you wouldn't be frustrated if you didn't know about the reward. I don't know if you're experienced on playing games like this but when we saw dark urge we knew it would be an origin that would sacrifice a lot of things (maybe even companions) so we didn't choose it. You can't get everything in this game unless you spoil most of the things to yourself and that's not fun at all in my opinion. I'd recommend you try to enjoy the story and the way your origin interacts with it.

Thanks for the spoiler, I guess?

To answer your question, I got it on my first playthrough, but didn’t on my second one. I was confused what was going on, as that didn’t happen before and the quest was still active. LO and behold, it's a bug, glitch or something to that effect.

And your advice of "enjoy the story" does not seem to understand my problem with it. The problem isn't losing an item to an only origin but a bloody bug. See, you save all the tieflings in ACT 1 and 2 and should in theory receive a reward.

Unfortunately the game gets very confused with npc being dead in a cutscene and doesn’t fail the quest or let you finish with different npc. It’s literally glitched.

As for the other commenter, they don't seem like they played the character.

Eh...while I can understand the pain some people have (it IS arguably the best robe for a charisma caster) I kind of like the scene in question and wouldn't want it changed. You are the dark urge, there are things you do that are out of your control.

Part of me wonders if making this item totally unavailable to DU was totally intentional, in fact. DU is, by default, a charisma caster, and the robe is great for charisma casters. Maybe it's some odd way of saying crime doesn't pay.
