You cannot have been a murder hobo and then later on magically become a hero. All the killing of innocents you did doesn't get offset by all the killing you now don't do. It doesn't work that way. If you used to do horrible things, all the "good" things you may now do don't even in the slightest make up for or erase all that evil you did in the past. So Larian can say all they want that DU can be a "hero," but that's complete B.S. DU can NEVER be a true hero (and ditto for the other original origins).
That's a bit harsh, since we don't really know the circumstances. It may well be that in terms of personality, the Durge we play isn't quite the same as the Durge that used to engage in carnage for the joy of it. It may well be the case that our former self completely lacked the ability to resist such urges, much like a mosquito that bites, a fly that buzzes around annoyingly, or that neighbor who always has to mow his damn lawn extremely early in the morning. We can hardly blame less than fully sentient creatures for acting in accordance with their nature.
And if the present Durge is different from the previous one, can we really blame this Durge for all the action committed by previous Durges? It might be the same body but it isn't strictly speaking the same mind in the body.
It would be a bit like blaming your unstable computer for throwing your thesis away when it crashed while running WinME, and then still having a grudge against it after you upgrade the OS to Win 2k. Are you really going to argue that your computer can never be a reliable system, just because it used to lack control while running WinME?
