Wrong. Failing does exactly represent you being evil or doing something evil. The checks are merely a mechanical abstraction. What they represent, pass or fail, is your character's actual thoughts/words/actions.

"Good Dark Urge" is the ultimate oxymoron in BG3. Good Dark Urge simply does not exist.

I think the best you can hope for with durge is really just a tragic villain that doesn't want to be the bad guy but patently can't control themselves. I love the turmoil and depth this creates beyond twirly mustache evil, but it is certainly a character with a pre-existing story just like the others. Attaching your own head-canon is bound to backfire on any of the origins.
