Dark Urge isn't that dark. You can be a good Dark Urge. You will have "urges" and make mistakes sometimes, but it'll be revealed in due time why it is. And the ending for a good Dark Urge is very rewarding and wholesome. I really recommend trying Dark Urge. You can change their class and race, so you're not stuck playing Dragonborn.

I second this. Especially if you played through the previous Baldur's Gate games.
