After Patch 5 And Seeing The Epilogue For The Worst Ending For Durge I Have So Many Thoughts Running

After patch 5 and seeing the epilogue for the worst ending for Durge I have so many thoughts running through my head.

Spoilers under the cut for the epilogue

Mostly I find it interesting that this is one of the very few times when I don't want my character to go all evil or crazy, this time I want my Durge to redeem themself, to resist the darkness, be free and happy.

Usually, when I see in media that the main character deals with their "dark side" or is being corrupted, I always want them to go into that darkness because I'm not a big fan of "pure good hero" and because they have much better personality and powers in my opinion 😅

But here?

Durge is... An animal, they're feral, they're twitching and growling, covered in blood and dirt, they can't even speak as the narrator says.

When looking at some options it kind of seems like the little part of "good" Durge is still in there, that wants to fight, to protect their friends and lover but they can't, Bhaal is much stronger than them.

In this case, their only way to protect everyone and to free themself is to die.

I knew it would fit those two

The art of seducing a Bhaalspawn.

My Tav Sorcerer: Gale... For all the love that I have for you... Don't ever do that again... I don't care what Tara says, the beard stays on!

Gale decides, hmm, maybe it is time for a shave...

I do know that other characters also have their own trumas and issues but I'm mostly connected to these two

I think I just came into a quite fucked up conclusion why I was so happy when watching Astarion kill Cazador (but I wanna hug him tight when I saw him cry), angry when meeting Gortash mother and making a backstory for my Durge is quite easy...

I can thank my dad for that

Ah... Daddy issues...

Oh my gods this is beautiful

I consider this as canon now XDDD

bane shipping durgetash because he loves the idea of his former servant's child getting railed by HIS chosen is peak comedy.

the dead three are rivals, and bhaal hates his guts, so now whenever they get into arguments, and bhaal says something catty like some god of tyranny, you can't even make a peasant kneel, bane can be like:

"I don't know, your kid doesn't seem to mind kneeling for my chosen :)"

and then bhaal starts screaming incoherently and bane high fives gortash later.

Do you think if Durge and Gortash had more romantic moments one of them would be giving a bouquet to eachother?

But in Durge's case it wouldn't be flowers it would be arms that they thought looked pretty to give for their favorite person at the time
