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.
What kinds of things would you be hoping for from Tav, given that they are by design a completely flexible character whose story we can shape, unlike the Dark Urge whose future we can influence but has a past we need to discover and, it sounds, isn't entirely under our control?
Personally, I don't want to give up Tav's flexibility so for me anything Larian provided would need to be optional. I can definitely think of ways to do this, and think I've mentioned that on these forums before, but I'd be interested in what you would suggest?
