Well there is good stuffs in it. Good stuff not for me but good stuffs still.
I didn't really get attention on what you were gonna do in your party @Jon. What are you going to do?
(Origin? Race? Class?)

I think that's exactly what it means. In other words, murder hobos are gonna have a blast killing all party members with a tadpole and take them for themselves and get all kinds of new abilities and buffs.

At the moment I'm really leaning towards dark urge paladin since I was going to do a dragonkin paladin before the reveal, really so many options to choose from.

I had a strong feeling there would be an alternative progression system for your character in this game, since you also developed extra abilities in BG1/2 separate from your class.

On PFH devs said that Origin Chars get some extra stuff from their story, don`t know if Tav and TDU get anything,

Ah i feel you on this. I find the dragonborn paladin as a great standard (and i'm truly into standards).
Also i really don't get it with the dark urge i'm really not into it. And i see that i'm one of the only one in here (or at least i feel) not into it. I intend to play an evil path during the multiple game i'm gonna do but not as the dark urge. I don't know he doesn't fit into my definition of evil i guess.

Also i guess it is possible to do dark urge in a good path. Must be really great.

I feel that, I'm really just excited about the mystery of it and this way I get to play a origin character that I would have made my self. I also prefer my paladins oathbreaker/ fallen so that just works as well.

Quick take aways from the video:

1. Can't change race on respec
2. Can respec companions
3. Tadpole skill tree, and seems like there isn't going to be a disadvantage to using tadpole powers
4. Pact of the Blade has been redesigned to give weapon +damage from charisma instead of str/dex.
5. Itemization is going to be super important to builds, which makes me sad but I knew Larian would do.
6. New background: Haunted One

You can do a Dexter dark urge path. Just take your dark urge out on bad guys :)

Yep that's not what i meant. I like to play a person with a dark heart for other reasons than some kind of curse.
I'm picturing a guy that has zero sens of humor and always chose the most pragmatic and efficient path. And if people need to die for it, so be it.
i want to play this person. Instead of the potential bhaalspawn that, probably, the dark urge is.

That would be an interesting way to do it. You just gave me another idea for a playthrough. Guess I'm gonna go full psycho on the goblins, the absolute and whatever else that is evil.

The thing about the dark urge is... Well the urge that he feels. Some kind of unholy curse that bring him to do terrible things. The storyline must be great but i don't like this kind of evil, i like to "chose" evil. I don't know if you see what i mean?

That's fair enough. That's the beauty of this game, since just picking "Tav" will allow you to make their story into whatever you want it to be, be it good, neutral or evil.

I absolutely loved Lohse in dos2, that's probably why I'm so interested in the dark urge as well.

Ah yes i'm pretty sure it's just rumors. But here you can see the game, the dude has actually filmed his playthrough. And we even get the Tadpole treeskill. He explains that the Tadpole Treeskills is here so the player don't feel the lack of progression, as the character is level uping slower and slower.

Yeah saw that, seemed really interesting.

But I'm just really worried about our good characters. Evils get tadpole stuff, they get the Dark Urge stuff, they get all the other extras you get in the game for sacrificing your companions and all. What do we good players get? I suppose we can embrace the tadpole powers and still be good? But I'm just worried what kind of an effect that will have on the endings.

I guess we'll find out! It's just that I know I won't make a single evil character, tried ages ago and they just really aren't for me. So it feels like there's so much I'll be missing out on. At least I'd like some kind of other abilities for resisting the urge and for mastering and maybe even controlling / befriending the tadpole instead of being enslaved by it. Like most other games do it.
