Or Is This A New Person Who Just So Happens To Be Almost 100% Like The Durge - Blog Posts

sure. i like to think that before the events of the story durge would not have been able to have a completely healthy relationship ever because even the people they admired were not safe. they were going to kill gortash i think they probably killed any partners they might have had type of person who probably only enjoyed intimacy if someone was bleeding but if they were given the chance to start entirely anew and were no longer tied to the knowledge of their ‘birth’ then they can become better. patient. unwilling to harm the people they admire the people they love but they can only become this way because of what they were before! the only way they could ever have been good is because they were so evil that bhaal himself favored them. the only reason durge has a chance at redemption is literally bc they are too good at being evil and orin resents them for it idk. i also just think abt the corpsefucking a lot it's a very interesting thing to me i wonder how the party (if befriended or romanced) really like. processes just how bad their new buddy was it's like the swampman thought experiment. is durge the former durge still or is this a new person who just so happens to be almost 100% like the durge edited to add a little abt my main durge but i like to think he still has like. an odd lack of regard for people's lives he is good now he saves people and he helps. he's not as much of a monster as he used to be but if everyone were to die then he wouldn't think of it as /bad/ bc. well. every tiny thing he remembers about having the urge + his past included that intense desire for everyone to be gone! he will actively prevent it but if he fails. well
