Oh, I think I finally get it. Sven doesn't recommend Dark Urge as a first playthrough because he assumes most people will want to play it because of the insane murderous psychopath route.
No, Sven didn’t recommend Durge for first playthrough because he things Durge’s content will have more impact, if players knows the default chain of events.
It seems we won’t always be able to stop our murderous urges - sometimes thing will happen and we will be left to deal with consequences.
The way I understood it to be is that there is actually a difference in priorities and goals between a Tav and a Durge. Like the differences in a Gale and Shodowheart MC run, but on steroids.
Honestly, I suspect Durge may be much more invovled directly with the absolute and dead three from the other side of the story after act 1. Durge's story is going on in the background of Tav's story if you are playing Tav. Meanwhile if you are playing Durge, you have access to much of the same stuff as Tav (probably due to game design and production cost) but you really are doing your own thing.
As a metaphor, I think of it as playing a Spiderman game as Spiderman, vs a run as Venom that is happening chronologically at the same time. You have access to all the same world and events that are happening, you can even do some hero-ing, but you are definitely on your own path and have your own concerns to deal with.
