the people that don't want to play DU shouldn't be worried since all they stripped from DU is the things they didn't want to see anyway so no harm no foul. Again, worst case scenario.
The EA dreams were also more ambiguous in their evil. The bloodlust is concerning, but it also serves as almost a feral instinct that lashes out at the extremely suspicious Daisy.
But there's still the valid question of what, if anything the Bhaal-related plotline Tav was getting has been replaced with. If the answer is 'nothing' than I have to feel like that's a major letdown, since one of the huge draws for games like this is the custom character, and that beign the weakest link would be a real bummer.
I don't think the dreams are related to DU/Tav specifically at all, all the origin companions get the dreams too (or at least they used too, we don't really know now I guess)
I think there's no winning really, some people prefer Tav without the Bhaal stuff, some people want the DU without losing control, etc. I think for people like me prepared for multiple playthroughs and no ''alignment restraints'' it's not really a big deal specially since we don't really know much about Tav or DU past act 1 but I think having DU as the more fleshed out origin and having Tav as more of a blank slate is perfectly fine.
DU is the ''main custom'' character as the devs intended and Tav is alternative for the people that REALLY don't want to play DU for whatever reason (or the other origins). That's the feeling I'm getting.
