Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback The Dark Urge needs to be fixed

i disagree about swapping alfira for quill (tho admittedly i am someone who tried the quill exploit once and never will again.)

a couple of reasons. the first is that the reactivity to quill dying is far less than alfira's death - i didn't have any opportunity to say to my companions that i didn't mean to kill quill etc, like you do with alfira. the second is that for story purposes it is more meaningful to be alfira, someone you likely have already met and whose death DOES impact your run, even if some of the consequences aren't obvious until you do a non-durge run. quill is a character invented to be killed; alfira has a whole arc that is cut short when you play as durge. the stakes are different.

i think it's fine for larian to keep the exploit in game for players to save alfira if they really want to, but it will weaken the dark urge story to change it to make it even easier for players to avoid consequences.
