I think you make an excellent point, but delivery is the key here. With Durge, they are presented as an option, not the main way to play. Tav is presented as the default, so people will look at them differently. If only Durge existed then I wouldn't be commenting (nor would I be playing this game at all) but we have Tav to compare them with within the game, which you can assign a custom backstory to, despite the game never acknowledging it.like in kotor, it would feel different if you had the option of picking Revan, or some random entirely blank slate force user.
