if anyone needs me. i will be in the corner. contemplating the characters
I've seen a lot of durgetash naysaying out in the wild and I just wanna say this.
Larian wouldn't have paid for Gortash to be animated two different ways in a number of his scenes if they wanted it to be ~up to interpretation~ if he and Durge were close or not.
I think that players can articulate the nature of that closeness for themselves, but make no mistake: Enver Gortash treasures the Dark Urge, and not for no reason. You were confidants. You had a cipher, just for the two of you. You knew each other for 10+ years (if the House of Wonders heist happens around the same time Karlach is sold).
Headcanon your Durge's sexual orientation however you wish. Headcanon their gender however you wish.
But closeness — even intimate, private closeness — takes many shapes. Whatever your preference, platonic or romantic or some third thing, Gortash and the Dark Urge were as close as two people can be.
And it killed them both.
please please please please reblog if you’re a writer and have at some point felt like your writing is getting worse. I need to know if I’m the only one who’s struggling with these thoughts

btw roleplaying various characters with your friends is the singular most healing thing in the world. playing with toys for adults
Better quests( even side quests tend to be interesting)
A world that feels lived in
The towns and cities actually look like towns and cities not a few houses just thrown down
Npcs have an actual personality hell. Even the guards have different personalities from each other
Thieves guild, dark brotherhood, mages and fighters guild quests are great and my favourite part is that we aren't made the leader
So many different armor types with zero gender lock
Again the world is beautiful
Dragons are actually dangerous and earn thier reputation (I remember my first time fighting one, got my ass kicked immediately)
Also they're not afraid to have flirty npcs thst even flirt with the player charecter that aren't just weirdly horny female npcs (some guards even flirt)
