What I especially don't get is why people are even bothering with the spin. If people want to play evil, Larian has made *the* perfect game for you. At least be honest that playing evil is what you want to do.
The same way as you are bothering to convince people, that BG3 will be a totally disaster of a game, instead of just saying it *might* be a great game, but it's completely not up to your alley. There are people that are so disappointed that BG3 is shaping up against everything they hoped it to be, they tend to twist every interesting bits of news, to prove their point, but also there are group of people, sitting on the opposite side of the table, who try to do a metal gymnastics you described, because they are so positively hyped of this game.
Both groups have place at the table, and naturally both will try to spin their narrative. It's nothing dishonest with being lenient towards the game one is very much looking forward to.
What bothers me in this article, is the possible lack of control over the Dark Urge in some situations. I'm totally fine having to go to great lenghts, to resist the urge. After all, I strongly believe this is exactly the struggle Bhaalspawn should undergo in BG1/BG2, but I wouldn't like to be able to do murderous actions completely out of my control. If anything, I'd rather failing a roll, than not having a chance to react.
