I’m really leaning to a custom character first playthrough. I’m also REALLY curious about the dark urge character as well. I know it may not be “recommended” for a virgin playthrough though. fortunately, I know the ruleset pretty well and have tons of hours in EA. since I feel undecided about 1 of 2 choices for first run, I thought I’d ask this group for insight on the dilemma. can we roll a d20 here? 😝
Dark Urge is not Tav+. Both of these backgrounds have different origin cues for dialog and found content.
Unless you are going high Wis or Paladin you will run into railroads going Dark Urge due to skill/save checks.
I plan to save this for my third run.
