Any advice on a Sith kind of build?

I really want to play something like the Dark Urge from BG3, is that possible in this game?

Ahahahahahahahahahha

Good one bro.

Now go return to form.

[Mr2Thumbs]

Lol. The closest you'll get is a Stern Urge.

So you can't unleash the Blight upon the world or anything? You have to play as a hero? That sucks. I really wanted to be able to play the game a couple of times as a villain or the hero.

If Dark Urge is the extreme right, anything in this game is the extreme left.

So, one thing that people don't mention - these 'independent' youtubers et al is that, actually, when it comes to Taash? Yes, you do have a choice.

Having played the game to her point, and beyond, I can say. You actually do get a choice of what to do with her proclaiming her identity, and you do get to have a say in it, guide her towards the choice.

It's actually a well developed scene. You sit down with Taash, you speak about why she feels the way she does - how she feels that, actually, she's uncertain in her body and, going by the Qun, she's a warrior, a fighter... which doesn't match her soul.

The infamous scene where Taash declares herself 'They' is after you, Rook, get an intimate moment with Taash and help Taash come to terms with what is, effectively, an out-of-body, dysphoric experience. You ever convince her to remain as that - her - and stand strong as a qunari that breaks the norms, but, treasures them, or--

You - Rook - engage in an off-screen scenario that cuts away Taash's breasts, and encourage Taash on their path as one that proves there's more to the Qun. That it's not just men, and women, but there are those inbetween that value it just as much, but feel like outsiders due to their strict dogma

In a good twist of writing, convincing Taash to remain a woman - but a proud exception - sees you standing proudly by her, encouraging her to her full potential. If you go the non-binary route, they refuse challenges accepted on the other route - out of uncertainty, adapting - but start to stand tall. They have a unique shout ability that just disarms everyone in the vicinity - really good.

Comment #8 doesn't make much sense in terms of my question. Character progression is wonderful, but it sounds like I don't have much choice in how my avatar influences the world.

Are there any deep meaningful interactions based on my choices, or is it all a lukewarm reaction that results in mild dialogue changes as well as a few choice scenes?

[Call Sign: Raven]

Yes.

Play Star Wars and not this.

You know, I was actually upset they didn't have a good character that you could play as for a fully customized origin. Perhaps you are brother to the Nightsong or somesuch. Anyway. I don't mind a good-to-the-bones hero as long as I can also play an evil-in-his-blood villain. I never played the previous DA titles, so I don't know if that was available in them anyway.
