OH MY GOD. Guido is playing as the Dark Urge. I didn't know what this was, and Guido didn't say anything about it. When you all were talking about it, I thought it was just a slightly adjusted campaign that gave you more opportunities for evil. I didn't realize it was also a character, and I especially didn't realize it was the character Guido was playing. No wonder he keeps killing/wanting to kill inappropriately. I thought he was just having extreme symptoms from the worm in his head and assumed it was happening to him because he's hosting the game.

No spoilers, but...deleted. Not funny without spoilers

Being the Dark Urge also got us what I consider maybe one of the funniest lines I've ever heard in a video game from Astarion. But, again, no spoilers...

I read yesterday that the Dark Urge and Astarion were written by the same writer, which means Astarion specifically has a bunch of extra dialogue relating to the Dark Urge.
