So Uh, How's That Dark Urge Life? (No Spoilers)

[Homebrew]

I beat the game today. Good times; didn't love the ending though.

Anyways, I always do a good boi playthrough the first time, then try an evil one if I can stomach it. For those of you (without spoiling anything, please) doing the Dark Urge playthrough how bad is it? How flexible is it? Can you still play a good guy even though your past is a little/lot messed up?

I feel like I should go all in and be the monster it suggests that character is, but I don't know if I can stomach the shock value extremes RPGs will go to where you're basically given the option to burn down a daycare.

Anyways, you get it. Feedback welcome!

It's flexible enough. You can resist the urge. But then you are sort of missing the point to a degree, though not completely.

If you intend to resist, I would advise a character with high wisdom, such as a Cleric, a Monk or a Druid.

Ok, so I should probably brace for impact and go all in. Being incredibly vile and evil even in a video game is a hell of a challenge in itself, but it's time I got out of my comfort zone.

I feel you, I am a hardened Neutral Good/Chaotic Good player overall, so going evil is hard. Some actions are just too hard to do (I don't wanna kick the squirrell :( )

It's a wild ride if you don't go for wisdom characters. Best way to have the whole "oh no, everyone is in danger", specially if combined with an auto flagelant ironman, to make sure you do not fumble rolls.

You can play as a good guy, and its actually pretty fun. Like, your character is horrified of himself and what he can do, and you are not always able to stop the urge even if you want to.

Kicking a squirrel? That'll be tough, but if you tell me to kick a dog I'm uninstalling.
