It really just does seem to me like they took 'Original Flavor Tav''s content repackaged it separately as 'Tav 2', - possibly at the expense of the former's story experience.

I think it's basically:

1. blank slate (can you even call it Tav?)
2. origin companions
3. DARK URGE (COOOL Tav!!!)
Sorta unfortunate, because I didn't really want to play a complete blank slate-I kinda like being a little anchored in the story...like the Bhaalspawn in the Original Saga, Revan from Kotor, etc that sort of thing.... but IDK if I want to be an edgelord serial killer just so my custom character can have something going on for them in the story that the Origins don't.

Then don’t kill anybody as Dark Urge. They said in the stream that DU can be a hero or a villain just like any other character.
You cannot have been a murder hobo and then later on magically become a hero. All the killing of innocents you did doesn't get offset by all the killing you now don't do. It doesn't work that way. If you used to do horrible things, all the "good" things you may now do don't even in the slightest make up for or erase all that evil you did in the past. So Larian can say all they want that DU can be a "hero," but that's complete B.S. DU can NEVER be a true hero (and ditto for the other original origins).
