I think that's exactly what they should have done. Leave the companions as strictly companions and focus on these different origins as backgrounds specifically for the main custom character. I think the Dark Urge as a gameplay concept is brilliant and if they had done like, 6 of those I'd think that's really cool.
Great take, strongly agree
Also completely agree with this.
I am wondering if they made Dark Urge as a way to test this. Will be interesting to see if this is the direction they go with DOS3, BG4 or whatever else is next.
