Durge Redefined - A Dark Urge Immersion Mod

  

Patch 8 ONLY

This is an ongoing project I plan to work on over time. As I play through BG3 as The Dark Urge, I will be updating this mod with fitting changes to BOTH versions. I'm also open to suggestions! Read on to see what has been implemented so far:

The concepts behind the versions:

Resist:

You truly are the haunted one. The mad thoughts and visceral fragments of your memory are a muddled mess of gore which sickens you. Whatever scrambled your brain split your personality. Maybe you were a sweet child once but, if you weren't, you yearn for that innocence now. You head aches and your stomach churns at what you've forgotten. Tragically, your blood remembers...

Main File Changes:

- Squirrel Encounter (Druid's Grove):

In the vanilla game: If you encounter Timber (the territorial squirrel in the Druid's Grove), without speak with animals active, you'll automatically kill them for being "twee" (absolutely adorable).

With this mod installed: You will still automatically kill poor Timber but only after the squirrel bites you.

- First True Soul Corpse Encounter: 

In the vanilla game: Upon encountering your first parasite infected corpse, there's a cut scene in which the Emperor attempts to force you to harvest the parasite through violent means. If you try to resist the Emperor as a Dark Urge, you automatically succeed without violence occurring.

With this mod installed: I've restored the Strength Ability Roll if you try to resist the Emperor (like for non-Durge characters) and increased the difficulty to "Act1_VeryHard" and you will roll with DISADVANTAGE. Not only are you trying to resist the Emperor, but also the Dark Urge's desire to mutilate things. I did NOT restore the Wisdom Ability Roll option because of the Dark Urge's serious brain damage.

Additionally: I've increased the Strength Ability Roll difficulty
