In Baldur's Gate 3, you have two ways to start your adventure: by selecting a preset Origin character or building your own from scratch. The Origin characters include the six main companions, but also The Dark Urge, who is customisable. All of the Origins give you a set backstory, and then let you play out the rest of the journey however you wish.
But what if you wanted to spice these Origins up a little? What if, say, Shadowheart just didn't have enough going on in her life, and you wanted to make it way worse? Well then, have I got the mod collection for you.
Mod.io user Lord_President has turned all of the main characters in Baldur's Gate 3 into The Dark Urge. This means that you can play as Shadowheart, Wyll, Karlach, Gale, Lae'zel, and Astarion with all of the story changes that come with playing as The Dark Urge.
These mods have been available on PC via Nexus for some time, but were just approved for release on console too via mod.io, so everyone can download them now.
The characters still have their unique story elements play out too, so Karlach still has her infernal engine...
