We are supposed to be, but unfortunately these lines (which until now were missing for most voices) are very poorly implemented so they end up breaking immersion and portraying us as a deranged psychopath instead. Although they're fun to listen to, trying to roleplay a resisting Dark Urge with amnesia now as a High Priestess that is the epitome of kindness is extremely hard when she goes; "Hihihi hahaha one down, thousand more to murder! Father they will DIE FOR YOUUUU" grin

They're awesome lines, but poorly implemented. Especially the Father one which triggers immediately within the prologue. If it were up to me I would've implemented flagged records for these idle lines, so that they trigger more appropriately. For example the lines where the Father is mentioned could only trigger in ACT III after the Durge discovers his true heritage (and if they resist Father then they'd stop playing). While the other more murderous cackles and lines would only trigger if the player truly delved into their Urge.

For example if a Dark Urge player intentionally commits to their Urge or fails to resist them such as biting Gale's hand off, breaking Pandirna's legs, kicking the squirrel into the tree, punting the Gith egg off the cliff, murdering Isobel, murdering their love interest etc... then from that moment onward these murderous lines would play to appropriately represent their murderously uncontrollable state of mind since they couldn't resist the Urge (not counting harmless Urge actions like ogling Remira's wound at the Grove or unintentional deaths like Alfira/Quil that are out of our hands).

And if the player successfully keeps resisting the Urge then naturally these lines would not be playing since they're fully in control of their actions. For now it's gonna be extremely awkward getting to ACT III and still hearing "Father they will die for you" after refusing Bhaal grin
