Yeah, to me Durge is pretty much a typical origin story for a RPG with a very very strong pull in a direction. And honestly (depending on the writing in detail) could be an excellent origin - if you are up for dealing with the ramifications of the murderhobbo inside you that breaks out from time to time. Without sarcasm this could be a proper experience worth a playthrough.
My issue though are the other origins - Tav being a blank pointless story to showcase the Larians. And the Larians being so extremely defined - they are not Shepards they are Geralts without the writing/charisma/IP-value to actually make them main characters. And they are all 'I have a dark secret' storylines. Shadowheart even repeats the 'I have godly power background AND I can't remember what I had for breakfast'. They feel repetitive (and their stories have far too much background happening before you even touch them - yeah my background is my character talked with a goddess and now is level 1).
