No I'm not a vegetarian.
I think acting is different unless the actor seeks out ONLY evil roles. If they truely only seek out evil roles, then yes, I think they have a problem. I dont pretend to know every person that ever played an evil character in a rpg -but I repeat that those that I know that are repeatedly drawn to such things lead pretty sad lives.
Dundee: an interesting point. Has anyone ever got to speak to the developers on the subject. Scripting the encounter in bg 2 to cover the murder of Drizzt could be as you presume - or simpley a way to cover up a mistake in Bg1. The famous incident dealing with Lord British comes to mind.
Personally I dont think its hard enough to play as a evil character - rep means all most nothing. I have never been a P&P D&D player , but my understanding is that the lower the rep, the worse the alignment, the harder it is to deal with merchants and the public at large. I dont see this in either game. I did however see it in "Darklands", but now I am really dating myself huh?
