They kinda explain the party member bit.

spoilers for BG3 and kotor, kinda.It's partly explained by Wyll in that he mentions he was incredibly powerful before the Nautiloid. I guess getting a monster fetus drilled into your brain is bad for it.

And they added Dark Urge to give the pc a storyline to discover. It's clear that the Dark Urge storyline was developed alongside the rest of the game, almost like it was supposed to be the default story. I guess they didn't want to do a Darth Revan so they made it a separate option.

I hope I didn't spoil things for you, I'm guessing from your description you haven't fully finished the game yet?

Not finished, no, I think I'm either at the start of Act 2 or the end of Act 1?

spoilerJust killed the Inquisitor and stole the Blood of Lathander.

You're fairly early in act 2, yeah. I personally thought the companion stories were really well written but it's maybe a little annoying that how certain things play out change depending on who is currently in your party.

slight spoiler about the part you just completed

All the interactions at the creche are obviously very different depending on whether or not you have Lae'zel in the party.

spoilerRe: Lae'zel, I figured as much. She's is on the bench because I didn't get her until I'd finished Act 1, but I would have left her behind for the creche anyway due to conflict of interests. I assume she'd betray me after the lich queen told the entire creche to go aggro.

spoilerThat's a fair assumption to make considering just how many times the game make the party want to kill eachother.

0 so far comfy-cool (except for the time I killed Asterion but then went back to an earlier save because he is the only rogue)
