The Dark Urge is a character from the 2023 video game Baldur's Gate 3, a role-playing video game by Larian Studios set in the Forgotten Realms universe of Dungeons & Dragons. Designated as an "Origin" character, the player can select to play through the game from their perspective. Unlike other Origin characters, the Dark Urge's appearance, voice, gender, and class can be customized if the player chooses. By default, the Dark Urge is a male White Dragonborn Sorcerer, voiced by Neil Roberts.
The character was included in Baldur's Gate 3 to allow players to play a thoroughly evil character, while also creating the potential of a heroic character if the player successfully resists their urges. The Dark Urge was praised for how playing as them changes the core concept of the game and added depth to the game's story.
