Its so difficult doing an evil run
I was planning on playing an evil dark urge after I finished my current play through but I dont know if I will. I just cant bring myself to be evil because of Karlach. She by far takes the best girl award but her being so lawful good really makes it hard to be evil. I would just kill her but I dont know if Ill be able to

Karlach is a breath of fresh air compared to the rest of the companions. I guess Wyll isn’t so bad either.

You could always ignore her. Kill the people hunting her for the equipment/sword, but never talk to her. That way she survives (maybe) but you won't have any interactions. (no promises for later acts as I don't know if you will meet her later if you do this)
First time through as dark urge might be hard to stay in character man lol.
You can also resist your urge.
I'm planning on doing an evil playthrough second then a more lawful good/neutral playthrough third

you'll probably be able to, if you aren't then consider starting that fight at a higher level or lowering the difficulty

oh wait you meant on a moral level, uh, that's rough buddy but "I'm going to be evil and do a ton of stabbing" tends to involve actually being evil and doing some stabbing

that said evil =/= completely incapable of friendship or love, you're just going to be ticking off the more altruistic party members and needing to balance plates to keep them from leaving

most em kinda grow on you
but yes: Karlach is definitly a reason for a neutral/good playthrough
reminds me of Planescape (no specific character, just the general absurd vibe) most of the time
but frankly playing a power hungry sudo evil character is pretty well done in BG3. you should try it

Just kill her instead of talking, problem solved.

Evil is the road less taken. I'm currently playing a solo murderhobo Dark Urge on Tactician, and I'm still in the Dank Crypt, trying to figure out how to deal with the undead (lvl 2 Figjter).

Don't know, I just chopped her head off as she seemed annoying :brownchicken:

The game heavily rail roads you into being the good guy, yes, though to be fair the Dark Urge is a special kind of BS outside of being evil. Certain events are outside of your ability to control what the character does and are forced to happen.

Going down the "evil path" still makes you be a hero and you lose too much to make it worth it: you lose Karlach and Wyll, and potentially Shadowheart and Gale as well if their approval drops low enough.

LOL i think karlach is holding me back from my evil play through im about to switch her out for laezel. I love karlach but maybe shes a second playthrough character. I have the dark urge mission in the last light and every good bone in my body is trying to get me to not do it haha
