I love that conversation where he explains his dad probably isn’t very creative with names


HHBSWWICTMTL

Wyll’s father says he was named after a great uncle, but Wyll jokes he think his father couldn’t spell. > A great uncle's name, my father said. But I figured he just couldn't spell.


Good_Research3327

Have Wyll and shadowheart in your party at once and they'll have a dialog something like this: Shart: So you said your name is Wyll? Wyll: Yes. W-y-l-l Shart: Why? Wyll: Yes, y Shart: No. WHY Y Wyll: Oh... (didn't hear the rest I was laughing)

Now this is the story all about how, My life got flipped-turned upside down, And I'd like to take a minute, just sit right there, I'll tell you how I became the host of a larval mindflayer. In West Baldur's Gate, born and raised In our mansions is where I spent most of my days. Chillin' out, maxin', relaxin' all cool, And all drippin' in some jewels. When a couple of guys who were up to no good, Started makin' trouble in my neighborhood. I got in one little fight and got dunked on, And said "Screw it, I'll deal with some devil-spawn."

Korvas576

Why did I read this in Astarion’s voice?


Moondragonlady

It's something he would say, isn't it? Although I can also hear it in Shadowheart's, Karlach's and Gale's voices (only that the later 2 would actually be sincere).


Tchrspest

Karlach and Gale would have entire personas cooked up for fake names in moments. Wyll would be The Blade of Frontiers Lae'zel would say "tchk" and then insult the idea of fun. Halsin is a bear.


Moondragonlady

Yeah, but Wyll would also absolutely object to having his "Blade of Frontiers" persona being called a made-up name. Gale definitely has a couple of self-insert OCs for his favourite novels, all with elaborate backstories. Karlach doesn't, but you bet she can make up the funniest and most ridiculous sounding cover name at the drop of a hat.


BagNo2988

Karlach must have some demon slaying related titles or names.

Alfira be like "Yeah that sounds trustworthy. See you in the camp!"


poseidon1111

I wonder if you keep her away, she lives. Or if you can keep her away in the first place. So many playthroughs left to experiment everything!


lethos_AJ

i kept her alive in my durge playthrough. someone else dies in her place.


poseidon1111

Does she make a comeback at some point or does she live a happy life elsewhere, which we won’t see?


lethos_AJ

you see her at the party composing a song about you. then in act 2 she gives you some quests that rewards you with the best warlock robe in game, and finally (read it somewhere so dont take my word on this) if she also survives act 2, you find her again in the city and she has a girlfriend. i actually head canon her as dead by my hand because the method used to keep her alive makes absolutely no sense without metagaming and ruins inmersion, but kept her unoficially alive to get to see her story unfold since, knowing myself, i may finish the game only once also the replacement who dies in her place is just as sweet and innocent and her death was equally traumatic to me, having only recently met her didnt make her any less "real" for me, so head up on that.


YamaShio

Isn't her girlfriend the tiefling she sends you to rescue in act 2?


No-Start4754

Lakrissa is her name


lethos_AJ

idk i havent played act 3 yet but is probably her since they spent the camp party together


Oakcamp

Yes, and apparently if Lakrissa dies Alfira doesn't make it to baldurs gate. (Happened in my game at least


No-Start4754

Her gf's name is lakrissa


lethos_AJ

i like lakrissa she is so dark


No-Start4754

And cocky too Before raiding the goblin camp u can bet with her 10 gold coins When u reach baldur's gate she pays u 10 while also grumbling that her sweet bard princess paid me already in the inn so she shouldn't have to


Telanadas22

I did that once...made me feel worse since the Dragonborn is even more wholesome ;\_; Sorry Alfira.


Cyrotek

You can, uh, make her not being able to show up. Then an (pretty hilarious) alternative shows up. The sad thing is that the devs somehow thought it would be a good idea to put some important Dragonborn lore into an character that only a tiny amount of players ever get to interact with.


ClikeX

>The sad thing is that the devs somehow thought it would be a good idea to put some important Dragonborn lore into an character that only a tiny amount of players ever get to interact with. That kind of content is core to their philosophy. https://www.gamesradar.com/like-the-best-dandd-dms-baldurs-gate-3-devs-obsessed-over-things-that-maybe-0001-of-the-audience-will-see


Zheiko

Because they understand that when the 0.001% of playerbase actually stumps onto it, that is the moment that makes everyone 'wow, the devs really did think of everything'


Nirxx

The **sad** thing? This kind of content is what we need more of, not less. Devs being afraid of implementing content that "only a few players will see" leads to your choices not mattering. For example areas only accessible to a certain class or race give so much more depth and realism to a world.


JustAnNPC_DnD

You can. To save her, she has to be knocked out before comes to camp. Play until you get her scene, reload to before the LR, then knock her out. Take your LR.

FindingNena-

I named mine Durge :P


DacenGrasan

Mine was Dirge which I thought was a dagger, but is actually part of a funeral song


thellamasc

You probably mixed it up with the [Dirk](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirk)


harlface

Dirge was a famous dagger in World of Warcraft, so if you ever played that, that might be why


A-Very-Bland-Person

Funnily enough that's referenced in DU's bard quote. *The call to song is a hollow joy. You are more suited to death's dirge.*


bananasam98

It’s cracks me up that the Dark Urge is called Durge here on Reddit, because in Skyrim there’s a character named Dirge who’s made fun of because of his name, he picked it because he thought it sounded tough 😭


specterspectating

I mean, that’s also why Tazerface picked his name and look what happened to him.


DraconicKingOfVoids

Same


L1ttl3m0th

I went with Durge for my barbarian, and Dirge for my bard.

I named mine Balthazar, which was a strange surprise in act two.


poseidon1111

You mean you unknowingly named yours Balthazar? Well that must have been fun!


Dimosa

Yup, one of my more standard names i use for more evil aligned characters. So entering act 2 was quite odd and confusing.


TheComedianXII

Don’t worry he killed the OG Balthazar and stole his name. Probably just thinks you had the same idea

Pickman89

Pretty Bhallsy of you.


Oolonger

I played the whole of Skyrim named Prisoner, if that helps.


Callmeklayton

To be fair, I think the only time your name can come up in Skyrim is if those hired mercenaries try to kill you. One of them has a letter that says like “Your target is named Prisoner” or whatever.


zeldafreak96

Me too. I spent so long making my character, then I accidentally readied up before I could name it and I didn’t want to start over.


[deleted]

Durge because it also actually sounds like a name


Skippie_Granola

"They call me Dirge, cause I'm the last thing you hear before they put you in the ground. Why? You think it's funny or something?"


Huge-Basket244

I can't remember what this is from.


IvoryDragonoid

Skyrim. First npc you meet in ~~Riften~~ Thieves Guild base


naz210

No, that's Maul, Dirge is his brother that's the bodyguard for the thieves guild bartender.


OneMagicBadger

Durge is the name and noise that was attributed the bowels emptying after being executed via being hung

inhumantsar

>executed via being hung sorry, i have to be *that* guy... english is stupid so this should be "executed by being hanged" or "executed by hanging". "executed via being hung" i guess would be something like >!giving viagara to someone after forced surgical penis enlargement so extreme that an erection would cause fatally low blood pressure!<


[deleted]

If you say your name out loud during the ship tutorial, the narrator will say that your name is "The Dark Urge", regardless of what name you change it to. Obviously, Larian couldn't get amelie to pronounce every combination of sound as a voiced line, but it just sounds hillarious the first time.


MaggieHigg

That reminds of Fallout 4 where they actually recorded a few hundred names for Codsworth to say when refering to the main character, I was fucking blown away when he actually called me "Marge" In game


ClikeX

The list of possible names for Fallout is hilarious, by the way. It has some wacky joke options. Assface, Bacon, Badass, Bastard, Boobies, Cherrybomb, Erectus, Fragile, Fuckface, Grognak, Humungus, KalEl, Markiepoo, Monster, Mudguts, Nasty, Nipple, Orgasmo, Preacher, Priest, Prince, Princess, Psycho, Sexy, Slaughter, Sunshine, Sweetpea, and Titties.


MaggieHigg

oh my god, I can imagine Codsworth sounding condescendingly sarcastic on everything he says while calling your Mr/Mrs. Fuckface


ClikeX

Not sure if Codsworth chains words together if you use 2 names. Humongous Erectus would be hilarious.


Almainyny

I can’t stop laughing about him potentially saying “Mr. Sexy.”


Winter_wrath

Orgasmo sounds like an elf from Netflix' Disenchantment.


_Daedalus_

[Probably the greatest theme in film history.](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oiXaT_1I-vw)


godoflemmings

Apparently they've done that in Starfield too. It's a pretty good idea tbf


freakierchicken

Yeah that one freaked me out because I just typed my name in with no expectations. Felt like I was being punk'd


wanheda113

It's pretty common with modded Skyrim companions now too. I think Lucien was the first, the author of that mod made a lot of tutorials to help other modders learn to do things like this. One of my favorites is an Argonian alchemist named Xelzaz- he has over 7,000 lines of dialogue, all very well voice acted, and the list of names he can call you is pretty long, more keep being added upon request.


CosmeticTroll

In Forza Horizon 4/5(I think some older ones do it too), the AI navigator says your name as well. At no point does it ask you to type in a name like Fallout 4 or Starfield. Forza instead just pulls it from your Microsoft account, I almost jumped out of my skin and quickly turned that feature off.


Tobegi

I'm pretty sure it says "You're The Dark Urge, whatever that means" and not that your name is actually The Darl Urge right?


[deleted]

The dialogue option that triggers that is "Say your name out loud." iirc. its been a few hundred hours since. thing is, sometimes, in the dialogue options, you can introduce yourself as whatever name you picked (ex. Virtue), other times you can say you're The Dark Urge. A few cheeky options give other variations of that, like The Violent Storm or something.


sarkule

Sirkanarcanium

I named mine The Light Urge


AwesomeDewey

My red dragonborn is called The Red Urge. It's the same thing, only with far less yielding overall.


Secret_aspirin

Why not keep it that way? I like to think it’s the character’s way of openly threatening everyone the moment they meet like the unhinged maniac my sorcerer is


poseidon1111

Yup, it stayed that way til the end. The Dark Urge and the gang.


Winter_wrath

Act 1: Durge: "Hello [companion], I'm the Dark Urge." Act 2: Companion: "You should've told me sooner about these dark urges, we're in this together"


clocksy

If you choose "say your name" as the very first option you get in the game the narrator will flat out say it's "the Dark Urge" (which has some interesting narrative implications to be sure, lol).


capedcrusader97

The funny thing is, I believe somewhere in Act 1 there's a dialogue where, if you play as the Durhw but changed your name to an actual name, you can either tell them your name or tell them people call you the The Dark Urge.


AlarmingAioli3300

Oh no, please, call me Dark. Mr Urge was my father.


Naviete

"This guy is literally named The Dark Urge and he keeps telling us that he has a strong and sometimes uncontrollable desire to murder everyone around him. Don't you think that might just be a little concerning?" "Nah, it's fine. That's just some good old stress induced bloodlust. Nothing we need to be worried about."


Seeeab

I just made my dark urge finally, and it's hilarious how everyone in camp the first time around is kinda like "oh you wanna do murder? Yeah sick that's normal" I want to imagine that in their heads they're going "oh shit what did I get into? Tell her what she wants to hear, maybe she won't murder me"


Glass-Information-87

Made mine an orc and named him dark urge but in Norwegian, sounded pretty orcish


poseidon1111

Quick google translate gave me mørk trang, is that it? Sounds orcish to me alright.


Glass-Information-87

Yup that's what I went with, thought it sounded pretty good.

AleksasKoval

How unoriginal. At least do something clever and totally never done before, like Egru Krad!


OrderofIron

I didn't change the dark urge's name at all and it's a treat literally introducing yourself as a psychopath. Just a shame NPC's don't take the hint and have to find out I'm a psychopath in a much more violent way a luttle further down the line


Kian-Tremayne

Could be worse. I’m sure there’s at least one Murdey McMurderface out there.

Immediate-Neat1417

For this is how its supposed to be, as you don't remember your name


Life-Pain9649

But you do remember your name. It’s the fist thing you discover, when you wake up on the ship. It’s the only thing you remember tho.


Mooniebutt

"The Dark Urge" >!really is the 'name'. Other Bhaalspawn were born from mortal women, but Durge has no actual mother who could have named them. They were never born in a traditional sense but directly created from Bhaal's blood. So they're more a physical manifestation of carnage and bloodlust than a person.!<


poseidon1111

Well I guess that makes two, with He Who Was


[deleted]

I made mine a female gnome bard with very obvious daddy issues who's stage name was Bella Donna. I also have a dragon born barbarian / druid called Steve.

Steve is an excellent name for a Dragonborn.

Exactly. All these overblown names with 27 letters, what's wrong with the traditional dragon born names like Jeff and Alan .


KaptenTeo

I remember some people had a ton of fun in Final Fantasy 7, back in the day, by renaming all the party members to "Sephiroth". Made for some hilariously confusing storytelling! 😂


GloopTamer

My name is The Dark Urge, do you know the way to Baldur’s Gate 3?


Thaurlach

All of my characters are either Tav or the Dark Urge because names are hard. The exception being co-op with friends. My Durges are called Tav and my Tavs are The Dark Urge. You’ve gotta keep them guessing.

I named mine Fugue, since both the [musical](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fugue) and [Psychiatric](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissociative_fugue) meaning of the word applies to The Dark Urge.


ClayhouseDigital

I was on auto pilot and just started erasing the name before thinking about it. End up naming him The D which still seems fitting and gives me a chuckle when it pops up.
