have you actually played DU completely?
Also have you played original Baldur's Gate trilogy?
It makes perfect sense why devs put DU into the game, and why DU exactly as he is.

For real it is wild to me how many people are hating on the Dark Urge when they clearly haven't seen the entire story of the character and have no idea what happened in BG1 and BG2. The Dark Urge is hands down *THE* way to play BG3. Get over any silly dislikes and fully experience the story of that origin.
Honestly I wish Larian had stuck to their guns and left the Dark Urge to be Tav as seems to have been intended without splitting the Dark Urge from Tav. Or at the very LEAST they should have publicly announced the Dark Urge as the most recommended way to play.
