Me, with two different Tavs, mocking Orin with the fact that Bhaal and Sarevok don't care about her and have both betrayed her: ha-ha, get fucked lobster woman, shouldn't have done all the murders

Me, with Durge, after practically no new information about her character has been added, but Durge's story has reframed her as the unwanted child, the always-second-best, looked down upon and despised by everyone whose approval she desperately sought her entire life because they created her to do so, while the framing of two of them as siblings creates the implication that they are of the same foundation, coming from the same place and following the same course up until the point when, through what was essentially a random chance, one that she never got, one of them was thrust upon a path to possible freedom and redemption - a path that inevitably leads them to crushing her as the very entities that set those fates in motion cheer on: oh.

#I was going to make a joke about the fact that all it took for me to completely change my perspective on orin #was the game going 'hey look. she your sister now'#but it kinda spiraled from there #bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #the dark urge #orin the red #the opposite thing with gortash funnily enough #I actually learned quite a lot of new things about him in that palythrough #both the durge specific ones and just the general stuff that I missed the first two times around #and still the only emotion he invoked was the desire to punch him in the face #and the corresponding gladness that I was running a monk build
