Because the original question does seem, in fact, answered.

Agreed. The "canonical" race/class of Durge is in a sense a white dragonborn sorcerer per Blood in Baldur's Gate as has been noted, but as they've been designed specifically as a character that we can define race, class, gender, appearance for however we wish, we're all completely free to ignore that and come up with our own version depending on what makes sense to us.

As long as we don't go into the debate with the expectation there will be definitively right or wrong answers, and with the understanding that we have hardly any info to go on so it's mainly wild speculation, we can still have fun talking about what race/class we each think best fits Durge.
We don't have complete information yet but I feel like once the game is out the game itself will define a best class to play the origin because as you play the origin there are rewards only the dark urge can get and nobody else. Unless maybe there are different rewards for maybe resisting the dark urge that might benefit a different class or some other twist we don't know about like maybe some ways to alter the properties of the gear.
