Always Durge

You best start believing in bhaalspawn crises, CHARNAME... you are one!

Like in BG1 and BG2, the player-character is always a bhaalspawn. Always Durge gives the PC dark urge dialogue, story events, and ambient or interactive voice lines—even if they haven't chosen the dark urge origin. This gives you the freedom to make your own custom character without bothering with origin balderdash. That said, it also works when playing other origin choices, such as Gale, with whom I've personally tested it.

Tested up through Act 2 slayer form acquisition. Due to the timing of initial application, you don't get the nautiloid dialogue upon exiting your pod. In multiplayer, this should theoretically (and intentionally) apply to the host and no other PC. Super easy to apply to all players, but not sure what consequences that'd have, if any. Theoretically applies to existing saves, but might be weird depending where you are when applied.
