That's okay, we all know not to take you seriously sweetie ;)

My input for this discussion is that evil people should pick portraits with black leather, it just helps the whole feel of the game :D

Yeah, about like killing all the Drow. doesn't hurt your rep in anyway, and I think they would consider you a hero if word ever got out.

It's more satisfying than being blackmailed by an overgrown sponge with mental telepathy.

Ask him, "So you contend to hold me in service against my will, to perform this evil task?" - when he answers, say, "No, no, I don't think that is how this is going to work, fish." Keep refusing until you reach the dialog wherein you threaten to expose him. :cool:
There's nothing a little poison couldn't cure...

What happened here was the gradual habituation of the people, ... to receiving decisions deliberated in secret; to believing that the situation was so complicated that the government had to act on information which the people could not understand, or so dangerous that, even if he people could understand it, it could not be released because of national security.

Has anyone suggested the old "Summon a Pit Fiend in the Order of the Most Radiant Heart" trick yet? And what about killing the imprisoned mage in the Underdark and taking all the loot from the elemental planes?

i've killed the mage and taken all his stuff, not that cool. You don't get much cool stuff and he really isn't worth too much exp. if i remember correctly. I'd say not worth it. Just make him happy.

He should be grateful that someone saved his imprisoned butt! I think it is only fair for him to repay back with everything that he's got. Am I evil to think that? I don't think so! ;)

As well as my previous (and others) suggestions:

s
p
o
i
l
e
r
s

Play as an evil Cleric or Evil Multi (inc Cleric) and do the cleric stronghold quest for the temple of Talos.

Tell Nalia to tell someone who cares in the Copper Coronet

Side with the SHADOW THIEVES you actually get to slay more people and be more evil this way.

Don't return Renfel to the Harpers. Dump his body in say the temple of the Radient Heart, then go and threaten the Harpers with exposure.

Don't give the acorns to the fairy queen.

Kick Jaheria out of the party while she's cursed.

Don't let Keldorn see his family.

Double Cross EVERYONE (i.e.) do the Mekrath Mirror quest and then kill him.

This is basically off the top of my head. I stand by the advice of ALWAYS CHOOSE THE NASTY dialogue option even if it means you lose out on doing quests (etc.) - Curdis !

I always do the Aboleth (the fish...) quest. It means killing more stuff and getting more Phat Lewt(TM).

@Xyx is the Phat L3wt(TM) a Bard only item? It's just that I don't have a Bard with me at the moment and it is sooo heavy to carry around :p - Curdis !

i love sending pit fiends out all over the place

lots of them
Ancient times they had no statistics so they had to fall back on lies

"I'm invinceable"
"your a loony"

I'd rather be rich than stupid.

If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down? We might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason.

would telling your thieves to theaten people and do assasinations and deal in slaves be considered evil?

i think it would, but this would only be available for people with the thief stronghold.

Do the Pantaloons, take the ransom.

Raising Kangaxx seems pretty evil

Give the rod to Gaal in the Unseeing Eye Quest (never tried it though)

Im not sure if this is Good or bad....let Viconia burrrrrn

Let any NPC who is evil join you

Execute the criminal in the fighter stronghold

Side with the Shadow thieves, then kill all the shadow thieves.

Kill Valygar, then use him yourself

Leave Mazzy impisoned teeheehee

On that note, leave Minsc, Jaheira, Hendak, the children, The Windspear hills guy's daughter/son and Rielev imprisoned, then laugh maniacallly

Accept every duel given to you

And leave me alive to roam the earth mouahahahahahaha

O yeah, and burn them, burn them all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
