It's a poor design choice where taking the Evil path too early can result in accidentally screwing yourself out of a practically essential Evil NPC, especially when Evil NPCs are in insufficient supply anyway.
It shouldn't be too difficult to add a new BaldurDash component: When you join Bodhi, the game checks to see if you can still get Edwin (have you accepted Renal's quest, had Gorch unlock the doors, and burglarized the Temple for Mae'Var)--and if you can't, Edwin will automatically appear in the Copper Coronet.
