Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Tav vs Dark Urge for a 'good' playthrough

I'm pondering what to play on my first run and "a generally good-leaning custom character" is all I've settled on so far. I've been wondering about the pros and cons of the default Tav and the new customizable origin, the Dark Urge. Personally I didn't like the idea of origin characters in Divinity, but I find the concept of the Dark Urge fantastic because it's a essentially a blank slate with tons of reactivity. I wonder if the origin is better suited to strictly evil characters who go all in on the whole thing, or if it's possible to have an equally satisfying playthrough while resisting the urges at every turn.

My main worries here are twofold:

• Will Tav feel underwhelming by comparison because they lack the same level of reactivity?
• Will the Dark Urge lead to moments where we can't avoid committing some kind of atrocity that would be unsatisfying for a good-aligned character? To what degree can we keep the shadow looming over us at bay?

I know these are questions we likely won't know the answers to before launch, but maybe there's some insight that I'm missing? In any case it's food for thought and I'm curious, what are your thoughts on Tav and the Dark Urge in general?
