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.
I think the best way to describe it is like this. As a Dark Urge you can automatically kick a squirrel. As a Tav you DO NOT get to automatically pet a squirrel. That is the issue. You do not get ANYTHING with Tav, nothing, zero, null. That's a problem. At least every Origin in Dragon Age Origins had their own thing, there was no blank slate that had no content.
