(Spoiler: Discussion of dream sequences.)
Nerull:
...the second option is the evil one ("I deserve power because of what I am").
The dream sequences' "Birthright bad; denial good!" message irritates me. It presents godhood by attempting to instill a Napoleon complex in the PC. "You are small; you could be great!" Power-hungry characters would be tempted by the dreams' messages, but couldn't Neutral be power-hungry? Granted, some of the dreams focus more on "Cause suffering. It's fun!" as the lure, but I don't see why becoming the next Lord of Murder is necessarily as evil as the game tries to paint it. Perhaps the it presupposes doing so would cause you to become evil, but couldn't an unwise or very stubborn character believe they could overcome it?
Anyway, just my way of saying I don't think the dialogue option is evil, I think the motive is. [img]smile.gif[/img]
I never played through all the way as evil, but doesn't that stop all of that "innocents" nonsense that an evil guy wouldn't care about?
Not sure what you mean here.
Spydar:
get in contact with the guy who posts those "I'm a naughty boy" threads. some of those ideas he has (and does) are pure genius, and quite entertaining.
SixofSpades made those classic posts. While they are inspirational, they don't tell you how to play an internally consistent character. (Although his character consistently caused as much suffering as possible. *g*) They're excellent "outside the box" evil thinking, though. Six knows his evil. [img]smile.gif[/img]
