I played Baldur's Gate 3 by flipping a coin whenever violence was an option, and it's my new favourite way to play The Dark Urge

T'wo Faciel, my Dark Urge character, lands stunned on a beach after falling from a Mind Flayer ship. He is a half-elf with half his face marred by burns and a tattoo.

While prepping for my interview with Baldur's Gate 3's Amelia Tyler, I finally started my Dark Urge run. She'd mentioned that it'd be a great example of how she'd adjusted her narration, and my Dark Urge playthrough was long overdue, anyway.

This presented a problem, though. See, The Dark Urge is a funny little beast. There are two options—give into your violent impulses at every opportunity and bathe in blood, or fight your dark urges, defeating the circumstances of your unholy birth. I couldn't decide. So I figured I wouldn't decide at all.
