Wyll? Wants to be a hero, but has a dark side Gale? Wants to see good things happen rather than bad, but has a dark side. Shaddowheart? Self interested with a dark side, but doesn't want to get involved at all if it can be helped.
What are you looking for in companions? A bunch of gung-ho do-gooders who are free from character flaws?
Astarion, a vampire with a dark side.. Lae'zel, a gith with a dark side (okay, that was redundant) Karlach, a warrior with a heart of gold but a dark side
When literally every origin has a dark side/haunted past/some sort of crazy dark backstory, it can start to feel a bit samey especially if you enjoy more traditionally heroic characters.
Oh, and the single Tav origin? A literal serial killer. dark side and all.
