That works both ways. Evil characters can come up with excuses to do good things. Perhaps your character chooses to help the dryads because Jaheira demands it. Perhaps he just thinks the dryads are pretty. Maybe he frees Hendak and kills the slavers to get a reward. Maybe he helps Cernd, captures the Bridge District Skinner, kills the trolls invading the De'Arnise Keep and has a high reputation just to get a reward.
In any way, evil characters don't have to choose the evil option every time. Evil people can do good deeds, in the same way good people can do evil deeds. Paladins are the epitome of goodness, and still we get fallen paladins. And fallen devas. And probably a fallen baatezu or two. Why should fighters and wizars and farmers be any different?
