Spoilers for all acts of Baldur’s Gate 3 ahead.
10"Poor Man! That’s No Way To Treat A Stranger In Need." - Wyll
As The Dark Urge, you can make a lot of horrifying choices, including cutting off Gale’s hand when he requests help escaping the portal in Act One. All of the companions react differently to this sudden violent act, but Wyll’s dialogue is one of the more amusing.
With the bloody hand on the ground, he remarks “Poor man! That’s no way to treat a stranger in need.” It seems like a bit of an understatement for the situation and represents the dichotomy between your opposing moralities very well.
9"What Are These Bloody Stumps That Used To Be Such Delicate Harpists Of The Weave?" - Gale
The first major evil choice in the game is betrayingthe Tieflings, leaving them to a bloody massacre at the hands of the Goblins. Some characters, such as Gale, are shocked and outraged by the heinous betrayal.
At the party at the end of Act One, Gale remarks that he cannot believe the blood on his hands. As someone who gently works alongside The Weave and cultivates knowledge, this bloody act is out of character. His monologue hits hard as you realize you are the reason for his newfound brutality.
8"Betraying So Quickly? Be Careful Your Backstabbing Arm Doesn’t Get Tired." - Lae’zel
In Act Three, the wizard Lorroakkan is searching for The Nightsong. You are given the choice of turning Dame Aylin over to him or fighting by her side. The worst option is to betray her trust, which will result in different reactions from your party members.
Lae’zel has a sassy remark, passively-aggressively pointing out your tendency to double-cross your allies. You can’t help but chuckle at the way she phrases her reaction to your disloyalty. She doesn’t quite approve, be she doens’t seem to hate you for it, either.
7“You Rabid Dog. Murderer! Those Were The Servants Of Silvanus - Nature’s Guardians.” - Halsin
Halsin describes your evil morality perfectly with this quote. If you end the druids in the Grove, he calls you a rabid dog, pointing out your inability to quell your violent nature. He is all about balance and peace, so your quickness to kill people disgusts him.
Choosing to destroy so many people protecting nature is a truly evil act, particularly when they welcome you into their grove with open arms. The dichotomy between you and the druid further exemplifies your questionable morality.
6“Why Go So Far, Do So Much To Save My Friend, Only To Cut Him Down?” - Jaheira
Jaheira is a loyal ally, as long as you don’t oppose her wishes. If you help her find Minsc, knowing she wishes to save him, only to cut him down, she will leave your party. Betraying her trust and killing a man who needed your help results in this unique dialogue.
“Why go so far?” gets to the heart of her confusion over your compassion and understanding, quickly turning to brutality and deception. As a truly evil player, you don’t care about what other people want.
5“Bhaal’s Army Will Be An Unsurpassable Dowry. I Cannot Wait For You To Claim It.”- Astarion
As The Dark Urge, you can become Bhaal’s Chosen. While some of your companions are horrified, Astarion is supportive of your new title, particularly if you’re in a romance. His goals for power perfectly align with your murderous rage, and you two can dominate the world together.
This unique dialogue only takes place if you’re romancing Astarion, and he has ascended, killing Cazador and taking his place in the ritual. You two are truly an evil love match made in The Hells.
4"Are You All Right Now, Or Is Today A ‘I Will Wed You With A Delicate Veil Of Blood Blooming Over Your White Curls’ Kind Of Day?" - Astarion
If you’re romancing Astarion as The Dark Urge, you get a lot of special dialogue. One of the best lines involves Astarion’s typical sass and your random murderous urges. Essentially, he’s asking if you’ll kill him, but with more flair. He flippantly discusses the threat you represent, as if it were just any other day, which, for this group, it is.
This line also shows how accepting Astarion is of some of the more “evil” choices compared to other party members.
3“A Babe. Brained By Your Hand. The Fore Or Hind Quarter Will Make A Reasonable Dish, And Seasoned With A Little Pepper Or Salt, Will Be Very Good Boiled On The Fourth Day. Especially In Winter." - Durge’s Memory
While exploring the Underdark, many players miss their chance to snag a Noblestalk mushroom. These rare fungi can restore lost memories, leading players who do find the mushroom to give it to Shadowheart or Baelen.
However, if you give it to your Durge, you get a particularly sinister memory providing more insight into their evil nature. To get this particularly rare dialogue about a baby, you have to eat the mushroom before you meet Sceleritas Fel. It doesn’t get more evil than eating babies.
2“Such Terrible Beauty. Such Beautiful Devastation.” - Minthara
Some of the best unique dialogue for an evil run is during theEmbrace Urge ending. As one of the more evil companions, Minthara is supportive of your world domination, considering your show of power to be beautiful.
Her view of the violence and show of force fully encompasses her love for your evil character. After all the brutality and horror they have displayed, she still sees them romantically. After she delivers this line, you can kill her, truly embodying evil with your sudden treachery.
The most uniquely devastating line of dialogue comes from Lae’zel. If you’re romancing her during your Evil Dark Urge ending, you have the option to kill her with a kiss, stabbing her when your lips touch.
Despite the betrayal in her eyes, she still uses her final words to display her respect for you. “No other blade would have sufficed” is an intense way to end their romance, hitting players right in the heart. This particular line lingers even after the game is over.
