I think the "canonical" playthrough is being a good dark urge.

[anarchicbean]

based off the description for dark urge in character creation im pretty sure it was written with the intention that dark urge was designed to be good dark urge and desired to resist

[hoodiegal]

Yes, this is so cool about Dark Urge. It's an *urge*, not "incapable of doing anything that isn't cartoonishly evil".

[archeryguy]

Good Durge and romancing Karlach results in my favorite line in the game (if you can survive the most stressful saving throws I've ever experienced)... "That's so sweet... and f***ed up!"

[lucifersatani]

The glory of BG3 is that you can look at the game, think of a playthrough and go "Well, I'll give it a shot", and I can almost guarantee you, the Devs thought of it, and there is unique dialogue.
It's frankly incredible

[vaderwalks]

Jesse: I played a good Durge and romanced Karlach.

Me: Oh, you mean the only acceptable canon?

[Bec-Son]

This is like playing as a good sith in the swtor games, i adore when writers let you do good things to overcome your evil nature

[seablade]

Resisting Dark Urge 100% feels like playing KotoR 1 all over again.

[dalthorn]

A good Dark Urge that romances Astarion is perhaps one of the best parts of Baldur’s Gate 3 as you both know each other for what you are/were, support each other, and allow you to heal from your trauma.

[TreeFolkDruid]

Good boy Urge with momma K is the absolutely most wholesome thing I’ve heard all year.

[EliasLupin]

Redemption Durge is my main character and its honestly one of the best experience i've ever had on this game.

I romance Astarion and i try to give him some reasons to be better, and my god this is amazing.

[Xilibrius]

Redeemed dark urge is my favorite character to play as. the fact that they're a customizable origin character makes them so much better. since it lets you make your own character but they have a real story progress compared to vanilla custom generic background characters.

[pwyllwilliams]

Legit my first playthrough as dark urge was being the good guy

[Yalahhbbbb]

What I did and I also found more interesting than just plain good dark urge was to be just straight up evil chaotic dark urge from the beginning and then towards act 3 when you find out who you really are, start to question the whole evil plot, kill Orin because of what she did to you and reject your blood inheritance and start your redemption last minute arc and try to solve everything In a good way, for me it had SO MUCH MORE impact to have that character development and moral switch it really felt more natural that just plain inherently good since the beginning, specially because of the fact that you have NO memories and the Dark Urges are pure instinct, how can you (realistically) from nothing decide to go against instincts whitout even remembering what your moral compass is in the first place. That’s my reasoning behind it, please try it!

[thestateofdelaware]

I did this for my first dark urge playthrough, my urge ended up sacrificing himself to save the world from the absolute. It was peak

[pedrostormrage]

People probably thought going the good Dark Urge route would be against the grain, but it turned out everyone had the same idea 🤷

[jasperhighwind]

Hi Jocat!!! Good to see you online again, man :)

[PrattlingPyre]

Good dark urge is genuinely the best part of the game

[nataku]

Just happy to see jocat again. I need to play bg3 more, only beat it once as a jack of all. Waiting for the big update and will duo with my mate

[anyroad]

You definitely can. It’s a great story too.
