Question for those who've played as Dark Urge: how much is the character's backstory pre-defined, and how much scope is there to define my own head-canon? The character I'm currently thinking of is a Lawful Evil sorcerer who considers himself superior to other people due to his sorcery and wealth; and was trying to buy or force his way into the Upper City (or any other part of high society). Perhaps being denied the access he thought he deserved awoke the Bhalliness. I'm not explicitly planning either an embrace or resist run, but a character who will use others to get what he wants, and otherwise I just want to see what happens in the durge plot.
So, since I've heard that there is more of a backstory to the durge character than Tav, is that story going to conflict with my idea and I should just start as a blank slate and see what the game tells me? Or can I still have my own backstory? TBH it'll probably be a while before I can play this one because I'm thinking of using the Clockwork Soul subclass, but the mod (strictly speaking one of the library mods it uses) is incompatible with patch 7.
Durge's memory is fuzzy, mostly wiped out. You could imagine a backstory from small slivers of memory (false or real) but it will change as you get to recall things.
You will discover you had a history with Gortash and Orin which may invalidate the image you built up from your failing memory.
