Dark Urge First game?

[General Anakin Skywalker]

Hi, for a 1st game, can we play "Dark Urge" or does it changed the game to much?

Dark Urge is... peculiar.

It is like one of the origin pre-made characters but you can customise it almost fully. BUT it comes with strings attached.

Dark Urge comes with certain caveats that may make your character act beyond your control at times. And sometimes the consequences of this are pretty nasty.
This gives you the opportunity to either give in or try to fight the Urge your character has, but keep in mind, you don't always win the control - and it goes beyond just flavour text.

I suggest only playing a Dark Urge char if you want to do a evil play run. You can resist most of the time, but you gain nothing but your own satisfaction of doing so.

I did a full Dark Urge play run. Won't be doing it again.

I wouldn't play Durge first time, it changes a lot of the story and you can miss out on a load of quests and party members if you indulge in your "hobbies". It's also a lot harder in places since you might have a lot less allies and access to traders depending on how horrible you are.

I'm going to play with a friend is that the same?

Why won't you?

If you want a darker play or play evil for first play, it seems be a nice choice but I feel it more logical for a replay.

I mean, i want to have the choice to be extremely evil or nice

I prefer DU over generic Tav. All of the origin characters have their place in the story one way or another. DU plays huge role in overall plot, generic Tav is just a faceless nobody without background who feels alien among all the other characters.
Also, both good and evil DU are vaild. Good DU is a great heroic redemption ark, evil DU can be anything from second Orin to a proper machiavellian vilian. Depending on how you handle your urges.
Also as a good DU you do not loose anything if you are not playing like an idiot and reading your dialogues. There is literally just 1 instance that is out of your control. And even then you can prepare for it and save the victim if you are actually knowledgebale about how the story unfolds. No one is forcing you to pick DU lines every time.

Play good is possible with Dark Urge with some uncontrolled evil actions that can't be avoided.

It setup the mood of a cursed character for some reason you find only later.

Otherwise it's like any character, you aren't forced to play evil or good but there's consequences. And there's no need to play Dark Urge to make a full evil play.

Endings are differents with him?

Not recommended. The game is more tailored in content for the majority who play a goody two shoes character.

Playing as an evil character will lock you out of A LOT of stuff, since you'll pretty much kill plenty of iconic characters who should be appearing later on in the game

You can do that already with a custom character too where you have absolute freedom to be evil or nice.

Durge just makes the choices more narrowed down so it's actually harder to have that same freedom.

its a game, play it like one.

if Urge "sounds cool" then do it. you can always replay. Suprisingly because of story and choice interaction, difficulty setting,builds etc. this game is highly re playable. so just have fun

What? Do you mean general choices are different because you play Dark Urge? Can you give some example in a spoiler?

Perhaps you mean that you are pushed to a very few evil actions without having the choice but it won't collide with other choices you have when playing a standard character.

text In act 1 someone joins you at youre camp. you cannot control this, even if you dont talk to her, she'll just show up. that night you kill her. you have no control. in act 2 a quest reward she gives is one of the strongest robes in the game that some powerful builds revolve around...shes dead, no quest reward.
