Description
Play all your origin characters as the Dark Urge at the start. They will have both their Origin Story and the Dark Urge Story at the same time. May not show but Dark Urge in quests log but both Origin Quests are there.
After mod is enabled, you can start picking Astarion, Gale, Wyll, Karlach or Lae'zel and all will play with their Origional Story line and Dark Urge Story line. Note that camp custscenes may require more rests as you have 2 times as many to get them all.
No more loading individual mods to load Dark Urge as it impacts all at once.
In testing with Astarion Dark Urge (for Example):
I had the opening for the Dark Urge with Astarion when getting out of the pod.
Then Astarion's sun reference narration when landing on the beach.
Then when I got gold off the body on the beach, before Shadowheart, I had the Dark Urge Narration.
Finally had Dark Urge first Camp Scene on first rest eith the going to sleep with "blood,blood,blood,blood,blood" repeated but later had the Cazador Dream.
Then did a terrible act of barbarity in my sleep.
Also, had all the conversation options for companions where I could tell them I was a vampire or tell them I have the "Urge" to kill.
Dark Urge Astarion has both of the Quests that you would need:
The quest selected below is the Dark Urge questline
The quest selected below is the Call of the Blood (Astarion Origin) questline
Install Instructions:
Place the mod file called AstarionVampire.pak in the folder C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3\Mods (May need to add the mod folder back as it was removed in update 7)
