I remember reading an article in one of the online gaming magazine pages about playing evil within BG2 that was very interesting.
The main point that I remember from it was that roleplaying evil is not necessarily about killing everything in sight like a ravaging monster. Sometimes it can be more subtle. Stealing from the stores. Always demanding to be paid for jobs. Donating to temples is actually OK up to a point. (Imagine the crime boss that donates heavily to the church to build a good rep in his neighborhood. Is that crime boss "evil"? Of course he is. Does he have a "good rep"? Also yes.)
Roleplaying evil doesn't require you to be in search of the lowest possible rep. It is possible to roleplay evil and yet have a relatively high rep. Having a good rep keeps prices reasonable at the stores that you're not robbing and the local constabulary off your back.
Of course, if you want to roleplay a ravaging mad-dog killer ....
