Can You Recruit The Dark Urge as a Companion BG3?
The Dark Urge, a customizable protagonist in BG3, cannot be recruited as a companion. They are a playable hero from the beginning, and recruiting them is not an option. In this article, we’ll delve into what makes the Dark Urge unique, explore the story behind it, and discover the best way to customize your protagonist.
Origins of the Dark Urge
The Dark Urge is a fully customized character that allows players to create their own protagonist for the game. This ability sets them apart from traditional companions in BG3.
Recruiting Consequences
Unlike traditional companions, the Dark Urge has no chance of being recruited. Instead, they have their own motivations and conflicts that shape the story as you progress. This may lead to different outcomes compared to having them as an ally.
Darkside and Dark Urge Roles
Two of the protagonist’s choices – Darkest Depths and Shadow Within – greatly impact their character. Depending on the path chosen:
- Darkest Depths: The Dark Urge could be hostile, leading the party through moral dilemmas and inner conflict.
- Shadow Within: Conversely, they could become unstable, blurring the line between hero and villain.
