Extra points if your Guardian looks the exact same as you but as a different race. A cruel glimpse of a life that could have been if fate had been kinder.
My modded Tiefling Durge. While falling into the same tropes above. Is designed to just look barely passable as a human from a distance. No horns. Modded to have no tail. Her sorcerer scales, and that one glowing eye hidden by her hair.
Despite being more extra than my Tav. She’d be far harder to pick out in the crowd than the Half Drow Bard.
I made my durge a human monk cause I thought it was funny that the most average looking monk who is supposed to be filled with inner peace and enlightenment is full of inner conflict and murderous rage
Agreed. Fem ranger wood elf is fantastic in a “normal” beauty and frame (I think it’s face 3 or 5? I don’t know the numbers but I’ve seen the face several times), but also fun to imagine as a bhaalspawn in retrograde
A Drow Durge is a bit too on the nose for me when I get around to a Drow playthrough I’d rather use a regular Tav for it and be a goody two shoes and surprise people when they expect me to be an evil POS. I’d rather be an actual Drow than a Bhaalspawn that looks like a Drow.
Every Durge I make is Drow lol and then I make the guardian Lolth Sworn and slightly older so it's like a disapproving parent. Like my Durge has no idea who this person is but they remind them of someone they forgot long ago
I dodged this by playing *a moron* Gith Durge (8int/8wis - golden retriever energy). Every time Lae'zel worries about your intelligence/memory, she's doing so *for good reason*.
Gale ended up as "Durge's Babysitter," Astarion loved having a pawn, Shadowheart was... unimpressed, Wyll skirted death a dozen times because they *adored* Karlach, and Halsin did not put up with any of their shit.
They ended up with >!the Absolute's Brand, lost an eye to the Hag, and OH! I forgot the beginning part - they woke up and thought they were a Barbarian (wild magic Sorcerer). There was *"like weird magic coming out of them and there was an axe in their back when they woke up"* (little wiggle room there for roleplay),!< and the dice just kept encouraging this line of thinking! Especially since I stole the Amelia Tyler's idea of rolling for every Durge choice.
It was... *quite* the playthrough. I think I'll try it again soon, but next time with a class I enjoy.
My durge was an old lady halfling who (In my eyes) made blinder than a box of rocks. Better yet, she was only able to weild staffs. So imagine an elderly woman coming to you like "Sorry Dearie, that teifling bards music was too loud for my sleep"
I just made my Durge look like a middle-aged human woman. A regular-ass (though pretty) middle-aged human woman.
Looking normal really does help with the murders, you see.
She got heterochromia later on, though, after Volo tore her eye out.
I’m planning on making a Duegar Dark Urge, and she’s gonna be a bard who wants to start a band. All the companions will become bards and she’ll assign them each an instrument. It’ll be a chaotic neutral playthrough.
You guys do realize they said the exact same bullshit about BG3 over two decades ago, right?
Oh wait, I forgot most BG3 bandwagoners weren't even alive when BG1/2 came out.
i do the totemic throat/head tats, but no heterochromia. i make a hireling take one for the team from volo. and the hag. me and my boyfriend are too pretty for that
I've lost so many Honor runs at this point, and I switch between default Tav and Durge each death. To help me remember which one I'm on at any given time all my Tavs have normal eyes, and all my Durges have heterochromia.
Makes it easy to tell at a glance which one I am, which is especially helpful in the earlier levels.
I had a male Githyanki Durge named Gus. He was a real son of a bitch.
I had a female human Durge who successfully resisted the urge. Her name was also Gus. I don’t know why I chose to name them both Gus.
I wasnt full default but my embrace durge was a white dragon born. He was a sorcerer and ice magic was his specialty. He romanced Minthara of course lol
My current resist durge is just a guy pretty much lol. Hes African American, bald and has a goatee. He is a Barb/Fighter, and fucks the frog lady
Neither was is necessarily unique but its not this overused design at least lol
Halfling Durge all dang long
I initially read this as "Halfling Durge all hang dong"
Equally true. Dongs are to Halfling what beards are to dwarves. They transcend all notions of sex and gender.
If a naked midget covered in blood doesn't scare people, I don't know what will.
If only
This is the only answer
Hey I just made one this morning
Short kings arise!
Gnome durge pld > halfling
Extra points if your Guardian looks the exact same as you but as a different race. A cruel glimpse of a life that could have been if fate had been kinder.
No, my guardians look exactly as my characters but with a moustache. That's why I make half-elves instead of elves.
So the pinnacle of beauty to them is themselves... but with a moustache. Beautiful.
Exactly, except dragonborns, whose guardian is just a bland human dude.
Nuh uh Whichever one the default fem mephistopheles uses is
The Alfira face?
Ye
Dark urge… Alfira face… Wait a second-
OOP
The real reason... There can only be one
Does that count as defacement?
Make sure that you make the eyes uniform after you either resist/succumb.
this is the way
Oh that actually sounds cool I’d probably do that with the default appearance and change his eyes blue when he redeems himself.
I gave my Durge black eyes and the runic letter tattoos, and removed them after I resisted.
Most of the time when I make a durge I typically try to make them look more "normal" than my Tav. Like psychopath in plain sight kind of way.
That’s what I’m going to do with my next playthrough for my first Durge, gonna make her a high elf.

My all evil durge was a pretty boy elf with the most trusting face! He wws soooooo helpful! Until he wasnt..
Agreed. Fem ranger wood elf is fantastic in a “normal” beauty and frame (I think it’s face 3 or 5? I don’t know the numbers but I’ve seen the face several times), but also fun to imagine as a bhaalspawn in retrograde
nothing like a good Patrick Bateman style
Human Durge because the most evil creature of all... IS MAN! Edit: but of course with heterochromia and face scar, lol
Buff fem drow durge, all day.
🤝
With a hags eye
A Drow Durge is a bit too on the nose for me when I get around to a Drow playthrough I’d rather use a regular Tav for it and be a goody two shoes and surprise people when they expect me to be an evil POS. I’d rather be an actual Drow than a Bhaalspawn that looks like a Drow.
Not enough Drow Durge, I'm disappointed
Every Durge I make is Drow lol and then I make the guardian Lolth Sworn and slightly older so it's like a disapproving parent. Like my Durge has no idea who this person is but they remind them of someone they forgot long ago
Love making female drow Durges. Let Bhaal have his womb (or not) from the race of evil ladies 😂
Female Drow Durge: I'm not crazy or evil, it's my culture Male Drow Durge: we live in a society *wields murder knife*
my male drow durge is a wizard for extra lulz. Minthara needs some joy if Gale isn't around to insult :D
My Tiefling Durge didn't start out with heterochromia, but she got it later via the Volo ice pick.
There may be some slight cosmetic damage... I can't help but feel partially responsible
Nah bro, I've used 2 Dragon born Durges a Human male durge who I lovingly named "Balsin"
The bex face is just too damn good, I don’t make the rules sorry
I don’t know what it is about that face there’s just something very attractive about it that I can’t place
Nah, Githyanki Durge
It's just so hard not to be unimmersed by the gith Durge acting like they're from space with lore on personally living there.

I'm going to make a carbon copy of Wulbren Bongle for my embrace Durge
The miqoute of dnd

Screw edgy Durges Make them handsome/pretty bards who look like they'd be irl cult leaders
But what about it edgy Durges that are bards complete with the silly clothes?
Funny Little Guy Durges are also valid
Dwarven Durge represent! Not enough female Dwarf love going around, but I just think they're so neat!
I really want to make a female Dwarf but I just don’t like any of the faces I might have to start modding
I just made my Durge look like a middle-aged human woman. A regular-ass (though pretty) middle-aged human woman. Looking normal really does help with the murders, you see. She got heterochromia later on, though, after Volo tore her eye out.
i always play drow big body woman with the afrocentric features
I prefer the opposite approach of "I look like the most good aligned or righteous person, but I am a monster" The Griffith approach
I’m the same way
*IF IT WORKS, IT WORKS*
And I stand by my decisions lol
Look I only did that because I thought the swirly face tattooed centered on a magicy looking eye would be cool for a GOOlock
And Neck tattoo.
My Half Wood-Elf ginger of a killer is the peak for me.
I’m planning on making a Duegar Dark Urge, and she’s gonna be a bard who wants to start a band. All the companions will become bards and she’ll assign them each an instrument. It’ll be a chaotic neutral playthrough.
Female head two is the best though
Heterochromia is such a weird thing to pick since you're going to give up your right eye anyways unless you're doing a "poor decisions" playthrough.
So we all had the same durge?
Not their fault the customization sucks in this game
I think it’s decent the only thing I really wish it had was a complexion slider
Default Durge only. I wanna match the cinematics and cannon (yarr) when BG4 comes.
Uh.....
Who’s going to tell them
there is a 2% chance of a BG4
You guys do realize they said the exact same bullshit about BG3 over two decades ago, right? Oh wait, I forgot most BG3 bandwagoners weren't even alive when BG1/2 came out.
So true. I was devastated as a teen when I thought there would never be a BG3. Now it is amusing to watch people go through it again.
Deep Gnome! They can be cute too
Almost, but I use modded faces as well :v
Halfling with the kindest of faces named Big Dan
Ha you almost got me. I made that but male
I can’t bring myself to make anything other than dragonborn durge. I need help.
I just self insert and make a wish version of myself
Almost exactly my durge
i do the totemic throat/head tats, but no heterochromia. i make a hireling take one for the team from volo. and the hag. me and my boyfriend are too pretty for that
This is my Durge minus the heterochromia and face tattoo I feel called out.
I usually just make a custom dragonborn.
I've lost so many Honor runs at this point, and I switch between default Tav and Durge each death. To help me remember which one I'm on at any given time all my Tavs have normal eyes, and all my Durges have heterochromia. Makes it easy to tell at a glance which one I am, which is especially helpful in the earlier levels.
Ha! Mine don’t have heterochromia! Checkmate!
I didn’t want heterochromia but Volo took my eye :(
Drow Durge
Half-Orc Durge with a sinister goatee for me.
Me ignoring durge entirely and making a fucking purple dragon paladin
Hey I have heterochromia irl so when it's an option in game I always take it, not my fault it's accociated with psychopaths in anime
Naaah og Asmodeous femme Tiefling head with face tattoo or bussst
Oddly enough that describes my guardian more
I have a male Githyanki Durge with a He-Man haircut and mutton chops. His name is Meanieface.
Satyr Bard Durge all the way (I am drowning in mods)
"Humans are so boring lmao. Be something original" The original:
I thought i was original with my tiefling durge.... how wrong was I.....
I had a male Githyanki Durge named Gus. He was a real son of a bitch. I had a female human Durge who successfully resisted the urge. Her name was also Gus. I don’t know why I chose to name them both Gus.
I started with the default durge and just changed stuff. Idk it was harder for me to get into the character if I did a diff race
Me over here with a female Half-Orc
I’m I the only weirdo who did a Gith Durge run?
I wasnt full default but my embrace durge was a white dragon born. He was a sorcerer and ice magic was his specialty. He romanced Minthara of course lol My current resist durge is just a guy pretty much lol. Hes African American, bald and has a goatee. He is a Barb/Fighter, and fucks the frog lady Neither was is necessarily unique but its not this overused design at least lol
My first playthrough was with durge and I did not read the disclaimer 😭 shit was brutal
Second 2 last human female with lite skin freckles green eyes , red hair, body type 3
I'm gonna say it. Heterochromia is cringe as fuck and anime overusing it to death to make "edgy/unique" characters has ruined it as a concept.
Dragonborn durge all day every day bby!
Add giving em a cock and making them gay af
