Version 1.2
Lux_Aurea

*** Update 7 Compatible ***

***Don't forget to endorse the mod if you enjoyed it, as it helps to make it more visible on the Nexus Site***

Now have a Mod Pack (With multiple PAK files) for the Custom Versions of the Dark Urge Origin Characters. Now you can change their appearance or background (Class is still locked).

thx for the change and Heads up!- and Shadow does an great Villian, till nmow, start act 2 it works very well. And it brings back some first Time feeling, which dialogue will present  inn the next Key Scene. Thx again:) - Alecthelm (March 9, 2024)

Details:

This mod gives the additional background for the Dark Urge and both the default questline for the Dark Urge; in addition to the origin questline for the character. Thus being able to play both storylines. It is an update for my earlier Astarion Dark Urge mod from Sept 2023 to make sure it was compatible with most recent updates and a Pak file version.

Note: Did update the files to the correct background for the characters. Accidentally copied Astarion's Background to all of them. The are correct now as of (06 Mar 2024, 10:21PM)
Version 1.2 - Updated Dark Urge Origin Files for characters to make sure names and questlines were proper.

In testing with Astarion Dark Urge (for Example):

I had the opening for the Dark Urge with Astarion when getting out of the pod.
Then Astarion's sun reference narration when landing on the beach.
Then when I got gold off the body on the beach, before Shadowheart, I had the Dark Urge Narration.
Finally had Dark Urge first Camp Scene on first rest eith the going to sleep with "blood,blood,blood,blood,blood" repeated but later had the Cazador Dream.
Then did a terrible act of barbarity in my sleep.

Also, had all the conversation options for companions where I could tell them I was a vampire or tell them I have the "Urge" to kill.

See Below:

Dark Urge Astarion has both of the Quests that you would need: 

The quest selected below is the Dark Urge questline



The quest selected below is the Call of the Blood (Astarion Origin) questline




To use this mod:

Pick the Dark Urge Origin download that you want to play through and install it for your mod and play the Origin Character from character creation. As this is a change of the Character with the Dark Urge, a new playthrough would be needed.

Install Instructions:

Place the mod file called AstarionVampire.pak in the folder C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3\Mods (May need to add the mod folder back as it was removed in update 7)
From there adjust the modsettings.lsx file with the mod settings below in this location: C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3\PlayerProfiles\Public

May need to place the mod last in the mod order but that depends on the number of mods and type of mods you are running.

If you enjoy this mod, I have many others that are great to play with as well:


Vampire God Expanded: (Updated Version of my Vampire Mod from 22 Nov 2023)

Gives the ability to play as a Vampire with Dark Urge, Dark Urge Astarion or Custom Character. In addition, you can infect others with vampirism as the Main Character with that background. Those bitten will get Bloodless and it will go away on Long Rest, unless they bite someone to become a Full Vampire.

Me: *bites someone*
Enemy: *bites back*
Gale with fireball: So you choose death. - m3m3l0rd420 (March 2, 2024)

Powers of the Shadows: (Updated Version of my Play as a Shade mod from 22 Nov 2023)

Shades are (or were) normal humans, elves, etc... who through arcane magic merged with the shadow stuff of the Plane of Shadows. While they still appear as their original species and retain their abilities, they have grown in power by merging with the Plane of Shadows.

This merger with the Plane of Shadows has changed their essence, so that they are essentially undying, unless they meet with an unfortunate accident or are killed. Diseases have no effect upon them, and they can regenerate 1 hp/round.

Because of your heritage being a creature of the Plane of Shadows, you do not gain inspiration from this background. You are a creature made of the void and thus are not inspired by anything in this world.

I have this mod and love it.  - gaxx00 (May 20, 2024)

Dark Urge Darkness: (New Mod for the Dark Urge Storyline)

This mod is made to give the Dark Urge Origin character a few more abilities make the gameplay more interesting and that increase in power as the character levels. They gain the ability to cast Darkness each combat, Immune to Blindness from Darkness, can Shadow Teleport, have Darkvision (24) and Necrotic Damage with weapon and Unarmed (1 + Level)

thanks! I like to think durge is a little more powerful than the others even with the tadpole nerfing their abilities so this is great! i don't mind the tad overbalance for durge at least lmfao - jessmeows (March 22, 2024)

Demi-God Improved: (Updated Version of my Demi-God Mod from Sept 29, 2023)

This mod is a combination of the Demi-God Mod and Play as a Full Vampire and Play as Shade mod. Characters can start as a vampire and if they bite someone they can become a vampire if they feed while Bloodless,

Wow... It's great to play as a vampire, using the shadows and avoiding the sun add an interesting flavor to the game. I've been playing for a few hours (as a vampire) and everything seems to be working fine. Great mod, thank you very much! - Danioken (Feb 25, 2024)

Play as a Hulk with Barbarian Rage: (Updated Version of my Hulk Out Mod from 18 Oct 2023)

This mod gives any Barbarian the ability to become the a Hulk or She Hulk when they use Rage in combat. This only impacts characters that have Rage ability. "Play as She-Hulk" for female transformation and "Play as Hulk" for male transformation.

Thank you for this great mod. I've been really enjoying BG3 these days because of your idea. - 93969 (March 23, 2024)
