Larian’s hit role-playing game features the Dark Urge, an Origin character of the darkest kind. One player, however, takes the horror to the extreme.
Whoever chooses the Dark Urge as a character for their journey in Baldur’s Gate 3 knows what he or she is getting into. The dragon-blooded or his female counterpart has already experienced a lot, which has marked him and his fate: Darkness, murder, blood, death, violence. All this and much more evil lies in his future and will accompany the player as well as the party in the game.
But what one Reddit user, meanwhile, has been up to since the dawn of his journey on the coast is likely to be unique – even among millions of players.
Taken to the extreme
Caufencamp has taken a radical measure to solve the tasks of the first act. He murdered all the NPCs, but did not stop there, but went a hortatory step further: afterwards, he collected the corpses and carried them to a warehouse in order to deposit them there – sorted by people.
To make this self-imposed vocation of a special kind a little more pleasant, he used a mod to circumvent the weight limit when carrying them.
Act 1 Complete. Kills thus far.

Community reaction
There are numerous comments on Reddit that pay respect to his dedication. Above all, the sometimes enormous distances between the chosen depot and the primitive locations of the NPCs stand out for several of them
An attempt to succinctly summarise his deeds and to worthy them in their entirety
, tries (MisterOphiuchus): Some play the Dark Urge, he IS the Dark Urge.
And (Financial_Nebula) immediately brings up one of the true horrors of the classic D&D world: Bhaal would be proud.
After countless hours, the time has come: Not only is our final review ready, but in the meantime the video with gameplay and extensive commentary has also left the studio. Unsurprisingly, both praise the bombastic quality in their own way, which is only diminished by a few bugs at the end.
What do you think? Is this a creative way of playing, or just downright insane and a little worrying? Have you already committed murders in Baldur’s Gate 3? Or do you take a kind, morally bright approach to your journey? Feel free to post your thoughts on this extreme interpretation of this dark starting character, as well as your own stories of the struggle between good and evil, in the comments!
