It feels like the game was originally conceived around a Bhaalspawn/Dark Urge protagonist and was later shifted to fit custom Tav too.
Well, there were some Tav dialogues in the EA hinting they were a Bhaalspawn. But it was more subtle, there was no graphic murder scenes, and it was connected to the dream person (who was not the emperor back then). I don't like this new version of dark urge, it is just gore horror, and the reactivity from companions seems all over the place (which is probably because the DU being separate from Tav is a late addition). The weird thing is that there are leftovers from the old story in the game, like some narrator lines referring to using the tadpole.

I think with the rewrite and addition of emperor the different story twists and turns just doesn't hold well together, and some things don't even make sense.
