What it says on the tin.
Love the game, love the Dark Urge character. Everything I could possibly suggest has probably already been suggested by someone else already.
Including this.
But man, I would really like to see Durge *indulge* a little bit more.
I like that you can eat the roast dwarf from the goblin camp, so it would be cool if you could go more into that. All the intestines and hearts and stuff that you find in the game. Let em give you a few points of health.

Bonus points if you get a few scenes like The Dead Spider scene, and maybe have to roll to resist the urge to eat it, and have companions comment on it- but I know there are plenty of requests for companion comments already.

Just let me have my freaky little guy eat more weird crap idk

Quite honestly ...
When i heared how Dark Urge is "super dark, twisted and horrifying" ... i expected a little more. O_o

I mean ...
There is Gale ... who you kill offscreen ...
Alfira ... ok, that one was good ...
And?
I feel like thats it, for the whole rest of the game. :-/

How quickly we forget Timber.

And it's like you don't even care about Crusher's toe.

@RagnarokCzD I'd say there are plenty of opportunities to have the Dark Urge be messed up, but they become less apparent after Act 2 and are sometimes hidden behind specific dialogue branches. You've got Sceleritas saying you were a necrophiliac, acting as your PR manager saying you've got to murder less women lest they think you are a "more vulgar kind of predator", that one cutscene where you can regain memories of eating a baby...

I feel like by act 3 most of the options come from dialogue options' flavor, like calling yourself a bloodbag, which, sure, is edgy but in the way a teen could be, it's not "shocking" so to speak. I assume it's because by this point they wanted to accomodate to players who are "resisting" ? Or because act 3 is so vast in general.
I like how if you resist the urges, you have an option to think about how now they won't expect it when you control the Netherbrain, and that your evil deeds are finally completely yours.

Yeah no, act 3 is pretty lackluster by way of Durge moments. You'd think that now you're back home- in your hunting ground- with the realisation of what you are, that there would be a few more interactions there.
No flashbacks in the temple? No random people on the street who might recognise you? At the very least, we should have some kind of scene in your old bedroom, you know?

And also, you know, no real unhinged urges to contend with? I know you're at a point where you're either getting a hold of yourself, or embracing your nature, but no more options to do some crazy shit? If anything, especially if you're resisting, there should be more pushback from Bhaal, right?
