I just loaded up an old save where the resist path was completed after the temple. I spoke to my companions and they were all talking and congratulating me on conquering the urges and overcoming. Every companion that wasn't in the current party(because I assume those three, Jaheira/Astarion/Lae'zell, would have done it already at the time, but I didn't check it) commented on it. Wyll, Karlach, Shadowheart, Minsc, Gale -- all of them had something to say.
I don't know if you all had glitchy saves, but the dialogue is there. This was a saved game from December 12, 2023 of last year.
I am beyond pleased now. I am going to do another playthrough as a Dark Urge again because this is my all-time favorite.
And that's nice, but it still feels very bare bones compared to earlier moments in the game—for example, like an earlier posted said, if you stick your hand into the hole in Moonrise, your companions will get worried/shout in
that cutscene, not after... but when they watch you get literally exsanguinated by your father, a god, the big moment of the resist!Durge storyline, nobody has any reaction to that in the moment? Why? That's what people are taking issue with. What we have now isn't bad, but it does feel a bit anticlimactic. But besides that, many people (including myself) take issue with some of the reactions you mention as well; spawn!Astarion's "twee" comment is a little jarring if you're romancing him, for example.
That said, if I could only get one thing fixed, I'd want companion reactivity to Durge moments in Act 2 over beefing up this scene, since so many moments in Act 2 (Kressa!) get no reactions at all.
