The problem with your reasoning, V., is that most of the "evil" quests you quote have nothing to do with Aran Linvail. It is MaeVar who is torturing someone, and asks you to steal an artifact ...

Pleased to hear I am not alone in my illness... I finally sucked it up on my 5th try and finished. Here's my take: first, play your way out Irenicus's Dungeon and save the moment you hit Waukeen's Promenade. Put that save game in a very special place. Then think about a style/ party makeup you'd ...
