to everyone who is scared of playing The Dark Urge or thinks it's just a 'murder hobo character'
don't worry, you're able to play 100% goodie-two shoes redemption Durge. It's not hard. For like 99% of time it's just you, the player, not choosing the dialogue options for succumbing to murder.
No, you won't kill Scratch or the Owlbear cub, they're perfectly safe.
There's only one unavoidable murder - there's two which are only 'unavoidable' if you approach the character (squirrel in emerald grove) and if you insist on trying to remember something (Steelclaw at Moonrise Towers).
You get Durge-specific cloak which is amazing bcs it allows you to become invisible upon killing an enemy.
Overall, Dark Urge allows your character to feel integrated into the world by having many, many unique dialogue lines from other characters (in all acts, for example: with Isobel, Oathbreaker knight, Helsik, the Chosen Ones).
Dark Urge also has Durge-specific scene for your romance options and for Astarion it has a Durge-specific break up line that can actually be just a romance scene.
Durge has adorable relationship with Jaheira and Minsc if you choose redemption path.
You learn a lot more about how the Cult of the Absolute came to be and it makes way more sense than in Tav version.
Overall, coming from someone who cannot be mean to characters in video games: I recommend The Dark Urge origin.
