It alsmot feels like both Larian and several "content creators" are being a bit misleading about TDU.
They keep talking about it as if it was something that just adds a bit of spice leaving you full freedom to make every choice, but that's apparently just not true. It's definitely FORCING the player in some potentially unpleasant situations and behaviors.
Which is fine, if that's what a player wants, but they should be clear about what the choice entails.
Not really. You can still become a hero with the Dark Urge. Swen confirmed that during the Panel from Hell. It will be more difficult, though.
But it can be expected there will be situation that spiral out of control. To spice up the things.
The Dark Urge seems not to be everybody's cup of tea, though. It does not simply add new content, that content is disturbing, dark and twisted. I can not imagine playing Dark Urge as a normal paladin without becoming an oathbreaker.
