Yes, I've started a Dark Urge playthrough and had a similar thought about that origin. I feel like Larian overestimated the willingness of the average player to, for lack of a better term, play ball with the initial scenario. People didn't want to make a Tav and their dream character that Larian probably thought people would engage with in the spirit of 'this lovely character I made is talking to me in my dreams, I should listen to them.' I know I headcanon'd a reason for my Tav to be dreaming of that particular individual. People already get upset enough that Tav is a Baldurian (in most cases/) And, I liked my playthrough as Tav. I don't know whether it'd be better or worse if it contained that stuff, but it does feel like a fair amount of stuff was siloed off into the Dark Urge. But then again, I don't get why they'd go so heavy on the cutting when surely you could just give people three options of Daisy's connection to Tav -- lost lover, dead friend, engimatic outsider. Chuck in a few lines of dialogue and responses and, bam, maybe that would have quelled some of the grumbling.
