I finished my first playthrough yesterday as the "heroic Dark Urge" referenced in the article and I can do nothing but echo their recommendations. The story came together so well that it feels like it should be canon and it has a lot of custom content.
I honestly thought Dark Urge was just your basic psychopath murder hobo who kills or hurts everything and everyone. Knowing that you can actually resist the urge and the story still comes off as coherent and interesting is a deal-changer, I'll probably try it in my second playthrough!
Just be aware there's a good reason that the default Durge is a charisma-focused class, because some of the skill checks for their story can be... tough.
I'm pretty sure that if there's ever a BG3:DLC or BG4, the redeemed Dark Urge SL will be canon. What with >!Withers intervention, the warning about your own offspring, etc.!<
Or if there will be an official canon WotC novelization..
Knowing what they did with the (now canon) BG 1&2 novelization I pray WotC stay far away.
I’m definitely going to try it on my next playthrough.
