I am very disappointment by the announcement of the Dark Urge - first and foremost, it’s not a companion, so our party composition just doesn’t look very appealing especially as Origins are concerned. That also leaves good aligned parties very lacking, with two Druids to content with. Good thing they abandoned party lock, but now I think it is reaction to lackluster companions, rather than “listening to the community”.

That also means quite a low variety of races and classes in parties.

On a positive side, Dark Urge could mean a custom protagonist with some personality or story to it.
