I was just wondering if it is fun to play an evil crew, i would probally make it a multiplayer game so i can have my own made evil crew, and if it was worth it, i was thinking evil Kensai/thief and i would really like to get those rewards in HELL?!?!?! :rolleyes:

IMO, no fun to play evil in BG2. I would you be "evil" in multiplayer mode? As for singleplayer, the best games I've encountered for that are the Troika group's Fallout 1/2, and Arcanum. They actually have a built-in pathway to evil, complete with benefits deriving from having achieved the epitome of, um, badness. :D

BUT, the evil NPCs in BG2 are the best and most entertaining in the game, oddly enough. Namely, Edwin/Korgan/Viconia.

The closest to evil you can do in SoA/ToB and keep the story continuity together is be selfish and power obsessed., but largely you still end up having to do most of the same quests and often the same way.

Most quests have "evil" choices, for example the Silver Dragon eggs. But its modulized (word im looking for?). As soon as youre done doing "evil" in that specific quest you come out and still have to help the elves. There just isnt a continous evil pathway

We'll the game assumes your a morally sound person, look at the party the game says you ended the first one with

You
Imoen
Minsc
Dyneria(sp)
Jaheria
Khalid


a balanced good alligned group, the nice thing about BG to BG2 is, BG has atleast 5 npcs of each allignment(good/neutral/evil)

For Evil there was:
Edwin
Xar
Montigion
Shar-Teal
Viconica

Nuetral had
Xan
Branwen
That dwarf in beregost I think.

Couple I forgot, last words, Good is the only allowed way to play, unless you want to seriously question why your character is doing half the stuff he does.
