How different is good durge compared to good tav?
I played good tav on my first playthrough and i wanna play the game again, but i am worried it will be mostly the same since i intend to do another good run and resist the urge. Is it worth another playthrough or should i go evil?

Very. A good Tav can be the goodie two-shopoes they want to be, but the Durge has to actively struggle with it's murderous side on several occasions, sometimes beyond your ability to control.

It feels like the aforementioned "Tragedy written in blood" that the Durge itself warns you about in it's little origin introduction.

But is the choices still the same even when when the urge wants you to pick the evil option?

Durge gives you more options and impact on your moral choices

I literally cannot say anything without spoiling major plot points related to the Durge so.. >:(
Good durge is still durge, just means you do your best to resist your violent, murderous intrusive thoughts instead of feed into them until you're full blown murder hobo'ing people.

It's very different than Tav, good or bad.

I will say that playing a Good Durge is probably the most satisfying RP experience in the game.

So take that as you wish.
To sum up both experiences, Good Tav is a third wheel where everyone else seems more interesting than you. Good Durge seems more like an important person who actually responds (in voice) to your companions, and the choices you can make change up the game slightly, or totally. I'm having a blast with the Dark Urge playthrough I'm going through.

There's so many variations to the story depending on how much you resist, when you give in, what you choose to do near the end. I've only played Durge and I'm still discovering new things.
It's different because you get a lot more personal story the entire game. Tav is bored

1. It's worth playing DUrge more than two times. At least three, i.e. good one, an evil one that is ignorant to its powers, and a knowingly-evil one.
2. Yes, it is. The whole plot as you see it playing as common Tav turns inside out, and almost every essential fact in it gets a new meaning. I especially recommend reading thoroughly all notes and letters concerning main antagonists when playing DUrge. Yes, you'll still feel yourself as a runaway pawn on some villains' chessboard, but the taste of it between Tav and DUrge is completely different.
