Evil Dark Urge and good Dark Urge worth a full playthrough ?

[Buurt]

My first playthrough was just normal tav being good etc. like always because I can't be mean the first time playing a game like this.
I heard that good dark urge has a really good story and other things so I wanted to also really do that but I also don't really wanna do two good playthroughs behind each other.
Would you say its worth to do a evil and a good dark urge playthrough ? and doing the evil one first ?

I've done a little of the evil Dark Urge stuff but it isn't really for me. Too much murder-hobo it seems. Maybe it gets better later on. From what I've heard/read, the "resist" Dark Urge game play is a lot better. I would say it's probably different enough from a "good Tav" that it wouldn't feel completely the same.

This is just based off what I've heard though as I'v only done a good Tav run, then been trying to do Honor Mode since.

Both of them are highly overrated. There’s barely any content for them. Like one cutscene in act 1, one in act 2. It’s really an overhyped thing and the implementation of it all is half assed. Not to mention that playing as an embrace durge just cuts you off from a lot of content and important vendors while providing none to take there place. Play a resist durge if you want, it gives some flavor but don’t expect a bigly new experience.

Good Durge is the best way to play this game, period.

I can't say why because there would be way too many spoilers, but I geniuenly believe this.

Based off the previous games, I'd go as far as to say it's the canon.

good Durge is BG3
or at least as close as you can get to BG3 since it throws out most of BG2/TOB for 'Somehow Bhall returned'

Bhaal's return was canonical since "Murder in Baldur's Gate" (5th edition adventure) released in 2013, it wasn't decided by BG3.

I've done both and until they give better endings for evil runs it just isn't worth the time. So the bad guys know you and you get more cut scenes in act 3, so what. I still don't want to kill the Bard! I should be able to romance her! The whole dynamic with Balthazar should change if you are the Dark Urge. But nothing changes with him.

Evil Durge is an enjoyable run if you want to be evil, good Durge sounds like a frustrating waste of time.

Until you realize you miss out on a lot of stuff from being evil.

I doubt there's that much more that's different between the two and the stuff that is different you can just look up on Youtube or something. No reason to do a full run just to see some extra/alternate cutscenes.

I'm talking about gear from vendors/quests that you miss out on by being evil. It's the main problem with most RPGs. Being good sees you showered with exp and loot. Being evil sees you starved for it.

If you want the game to be more challenging, then an evil play through not as the Dark Urge is the way to go.

Not sure what you're on about. For every good-restricted item there is an evil-restricted item as well, so you're missing out either way. None of these morality restricted items are mandatory to get through the game, so it's not a big deal.

We'll just have to agree to disagree then....

Not until you make an actual argument that goes into detail as to how good Durge gets more/better exclusive stuff than evil Durge.
