Baldur’s Gate 3 gives players the option to use a premade character called an Origin character that has a unique background and possible relationships with other Origin characters. However, players might notice that one Origin is different from the others in a few ways, especially since almost all the Origin characters have a set race, class, design, background, and name that players are unable to change to suit their own tastes. While players are able to make a custom Origin and play the game however they wish, it does seem like the developers had an intended main character.

The Dark Urge is the only Origin Character that lets players customize their race, appearance, and class. The Dark Urge in Baldur’s Gate 3 is set up to be vague enough that players aren’t forced to adhere to a detailed past, but it also adds more personality to the main character that isn’t seen in the custom option. This balance makes it feel like the intended choice for the main character, especially for characters who want to be evil or violent in their playthrough. However, selecting The Dark Urge doesn’t force players to take an evil path as it’s possible to resist the dark urges that are part of this Origin.
Baldur’s Gate 3 describes The Dark Urge as being unable to remember their past, but knowing that it was bloody. This is also a character that has violent thoughts and tendencies, which is made clear early in the game. And while this Origin seems more suited for a darker character, players can resist the violent urges to tell a story of somebody working to be better and beat their instincts. Overall, The Dark Urge gives players a stronger feeling of being part of the world of BG3 without having to take on the identity of a character completely designed by the developers like Shadowheart, Astarion, and the other Origin options.
