Personally I think the 'Evil does not pay' adage in BG2 is overexaggerated. The thing is, there are many, many, ways to resolve a quest. It is just that most players prefer to play a good-aligned party, and therefore usually take the most straightforward route, instead of thinking of insidious ways to keep their hands clean while dirtying others'.
For example... did you know,

..) You can get Aegisfield to resolve the Skinner Murder? You will still receive the same item rewards and quest experience, minus the fighting.
..) You can report in the Potion Lady in the Bridge District?
..) You can make Drizzt attack you on sight?
..) You can betray Hendak to the Slavers?

And those are just the official ones. Throw in roleplay, such as SixOfSpades' delicious accounts, and you can have a rollicking good time with an Evil-aligned party.
Do not think of what you can't do as an Evil party... Think of what you CAN do as an Evil party.
That is where the fun lies.
Cheers.
