Since I won't kill Astarion or Minthara for a Bhaal ending, I have to betray Bhaal. What makes me extremely sad about this route is losing Sceleritas. You should be able to convince Sceleritas of your own dark plans to become a god without Bhaal and he will still stay with his beloved master and then follow him as a companion such as Scratch.
Same. It made me very sad to see him go. I actually quite liked this silly unhinged little guy. Well, maybe it is better for the story to have big differences between resist and embrace Durge. But it's still sad.
The companions simply do not become suspicious.
Not only that, but they even yell at you for "hiding" things from them even if you're completely honest from the start about your dark urges. 🙄
