The Dark Urge is a special Origin in Baldur's Gate 3. The Dark Urge gives a custom character a special origin background and adds many new interactions, obstacles, and story elements for that character.

Unlike the other Origin Characters, The Dark Urge can be played using any race, class, and gender, and will not appear in the game as a non-player character if not selected when starting a new game.

Background

You remember nothing of your past besides that you walked a path paved with blood. As you venture on, you find yourself inescapably drawn towards unimaginable cruelties. Where do these thoughts come from?

Gameplay

A character with The Dark Urge Origin remembers nothing of their past and are plagued with sick, dark urges of violence and cruelty. Like the other Origin Characters, The Dark Urge adds a unique storyline that surfaces over time as the true nature of The Dark Urge is revealed.

While playing as The Dark Urge, players will be forced to resist or succumb to the temptation of the darkness inside them. Resisting may not always be easy to do, and characters trying to follow a path of morality and good will have to overcome their inner struggle in order to remain true to their ideals. It is possible to play this Origin as both an evil villain, a good hero, or anything in-between.

Guiding the Dark Urge in their time of need is Sceleritas Fel. A vile and loyal servant, Fel lives only to see the Dark Urge return to their rightful, bloodstained path and urges them to commit some of the most lurid acts of violence.
