If you don't want the Durge to be evil, you have to struggle and *earn it*. It's not served to you on a silver platter just because you lost your memory. The past version of your Durge was absolutely, abhorrently evil with no capacity for true remorse. Larian did not make that clear to people who haven't been paying attention. I've seen all sorts of individuals come in here with their custom, lore defying backstory. You don't get to do that. Yet, you can, for example, start as a "good aligned" paladin. This makes ZERO sense! It would have been a golden opportunity to have a little popup that says: "due to your past actions, should you choose a paladin, they can only start out as an oathbreaker".
