Rundown: rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not post personal information. This includes but is not limited to full names, addresses, phone numbers and so on.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.
Do not solicit money, Dreamwidth points, or other currency unless you are offering a good or service in return.

nope, you can kill her after most of the npcs have moved to moonrise and isobel is mostly alone at the inn. it's not an exploit either, if you've ignored isobel then the butler shows up at the bridge to moonrise to tell durge to go back and kill her now while she's alone.

dammon and the other merchant character will always be at the inn even if you've done literally everything in act 2 but the final assault on moonrise. so that's 3 people the absolute minimum, which most players won't encounter unless they've put off the quest until the last minute. the dilemma of the quest is killing one guy you like or a bunch of other innocent people; (almost) killing the guy you like be wouldn't be narratively framed as the good guy choice if it were otherwise.

it's metagaming to know it just takes a couple dice rolls to resist killing your companion, versus the completely unavoidable alfira/bard murder it's compared to. it's not actually evil to decide you want to save your companion and keep the party together instead of letting them die and risk breaking up your entire mission just to save a couple people you don't know, whose survival isn't necessary to continue your quest to stop the absolute.

and as the other anon said you can do it totally by accident. you can try and fail to save isobel and lose literally every single npc at the height of the inn's occupation, and still get the slayer form. is that evil? is it more or less evil than making a choice to have it happen when there's the least collateral damage?

idk if anyone plays in dwrp with these choice by the way lmao. just chatting about the game. i've only seen cut and dry Good Durges and Bad Durges.

i don't know if i'm ready to see a discussion of deontological ethics vs consequentialism on the same webpage as someone seeking out a goblin gangbang thread

there's a bdsm practitioner who will beat your character into religious ecstasy for a permanent buff in the goblin camp of bg3

i also roleplayed (in the game, i don't have a journal) a durge who was nuanced in the opposite direction - didn't want to lose control of himself and black out to do murder orgies, but was an evil guy with limited scruples. succeeded in fighting the urge but encouraged "bad" choices for characters like shadowheart and astarion, ended up rejecting bhaal and then thinking happily about how all his crimes would be his own now, allied with gortash, took the brain for himself instead of his dad. the game has a lot of room for your ethics to be complex.
