Baldur's Gate 3 lets you play as a sinister fiend with murder on their mind, and copulate with a bear

The final Panel From Hell showcase for Baldur's Gate 3 was held yesterday, during which, Larian discussed all sorts of interesting things, such as a customizable serial killer protagonist, the importance of character identity, and sexing up a Druid.

One of the more interesting takeaways was the reveal of the final playable Origin hero, Dark Urge. This imposing Dragonborn has been teased over the past three weeks through a trail of clues via the community-driven murder-mystery, Blood in Baldur’s Gate.

The Dark Urge is a fully customizable character, meaning their class, appearance, species, and gender are completely up to you. As the Dark Urge, you begin Baldur's Gate 3 with memory loss after an unfortunate encounter between a parasitic tadpole and your brain. Because of this dreadful encounter, all that's left is an insatiable urge in your subconscious which is brought out in your dialogue options.

What is the Baldur's Gate 3 Dark Urge origin? You have a wide variety of choices when creating a background for your character. While many of these origins are just the pre-designed companion characters, the Dark Urge origin is unique in that it's not limited to one character.

Fans of RPG games such as Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines will recall a similar choice-based vampire clan, the Malkavian, which had a similar madness to them, resulting in unique choices and dialogue. However, in Baldur's Gate 3, you have the freedom to use any many different races and any one of the classes you desire with the Dark Urge origin. With the Baldur's Gate 3 release date quickly approaching, here's everything you need to know about the Baldur's Gate 3 Dark Urge origin.

Baldur's Gate 3 will let you respec your characters: 'We want the players to really experiment with what is possible'

Baldur's Gate 3 has a lot going on, and that applies to character classes and subclasses as much as anything else. That kind of choice can be intimidating, especially when the unknowable consequences of a poor decision has the potential to leave you unhappy (or straight-up screwed) 40 hours in. The good news for anyone worried about being hung up by a bad call is that developer Larian Studios has confirmed that players will be able to respec their characters if they want to...

Baldur's Gate 3 looks like it's gonna eat Starfield's lunch when it comes to romances

"Because at Larian, we have, and ultimately landed on the side of giving the people what they want: tender, consensual romance with a man temporarily transformed into a grizzly bear."
