10 Amazing Video Game Powers That Come At An Equally Great Cost
2. Slayer Form - Baldur's Gate 3
The Dark Urge origin from Baldur’s Gate 3 allows you to create your very own demigod, who’s cursed to bear the evil blood of the god of murder, Bhaal.
Being a Bhaalspawn fills your character with an innate bloodthirst that constantly drives them to commit all manner of lethal atrocities. Now, if you’re doing an evil playthrough, having the game pretty much invite you to do horrible things can be great.
However, to unlock the Dark Urge’s pinnacle of power, you have to do something even the most immoral player might regret.
The Slayer Form is the final gift the Dark Urge can receive for acting on their depraved desires. It allows them to transform into a gargantuan monster with plenty of pointy ends that deal huge amounts of damage and provide many additional benefits.
The form is one of the most powerful transformations in the game, but in order to unlock it, you need to turn on your closest allies. You either have to kill the priestess Isobel, causing most of your allies to lose trust in you, or, if you refuse, kill your character’s lover or closest companion.
It’s either being the most powerful Bhaalspawn in existence or cuddle time with Astarion.
