Tell me when you can play a completely good Dark Urge without having to pass difficult skill checks and/or metagaming to purposely knock out certain characters.
The metagaming to ko someone is mostly pointless because it just changes who the bad stuff happens to, it does not prevent it. But that's not your character's fault...it just adds an extra bit of complexity. The only one you can save strictly through metagaming is the squirrel...if you don't initiate the interaction it lives.
Now there are the difficult wisdom saving throws yes, and those can go VERY wrong but the good thing is they are limited to one event...granted it can have dire consequences for your entire playthrough if it blows up in your face, but still...if you can manage that you're good.
But there are also great benefits to playing the dark urge...specifically two major scenes: a major revelation about the main story of the game and one insanely epic event that you can't get as any other origin or custom character. As far as I am concerned the Dark Urge should be *the* way to play BG3.
