I don't know how far you've gotten in the story but there are story specific rewards for evil acts in a durge playthrough. Whether they make up for the loss of the tieflings and the gear they hold is debatable but there are evil rewards.
That's good to hear! I haven't played durge yet, I just read a lot of feedback that it's lacking quests and gear. I'm planning on playing as durge on my next playthrough. Are there special dialogue options if I choose the white dragonborn character instead of making a custom one?
One thing I remembered that is similar to your question about using the white dragonborn for dialogue. If you leave the dark urge's name as The Dark Urge there are a few lines where the narrator will say "You say your name, The Dark Urge, out loud" instead of "You say your name out loud" if you have a custom name. The first instance is when you awake on the beach after the intro scene. There might be more but I can't remember off the top of my head.
Not sure on that one. I can't stand playing a character without darkvision. Preferably improved. I personally like drow since you get a fuck load of dialog choice good and bad so you get to decide what type of drow you want to be. For Dark Urge you usually get two different choices also. Either give in to the urge or push it away. Both are stellar story experiences.
Thanks! I'm playing as Drow right now, and you can basically just waltz into all the bad guy headquarters up until the Shadowlands. It's pretty cool.
