One of the things that was good about 3do's Might & Magic series was that you had specific 'evil' quests to do as well as some evil-modified 'good' quests - specially in Might & MAgic 8. M&M9 comes out (hopefully!) in December!
I have never played evil in BG (and only once in M&M) - I feel too uncomfortable with it! ------------------ |

SPOILER > > > I don't think i will be able to bring myself to dob in that guy imprisoned in the copper coronet. Hmmmm do you still get the discounts from the fat guy? Well at least you can become the slayer without worrying about the whole reputation drop. Before i go i want to know if something is normal. I had just got my slayer change ability at the inn and when i woke up a few other abilities i had had gone!(it might have happened earlier but i noticed it then) These were heal minor wounds and slow poison. I was playing as paladin and these two abilities dissapeared. Now i thought this a bad thing because slow poison had been useful. My first thought was that the game had a bug or something. Then i thought about it and wondered if it had something to do with the whole "stealing of the divine soul" thing. Maybe those had been your powers for being bhaals child or something? Well then i was looking for some cool special abilities in shadowkeeper when i stumbled across an ability called "bhaal powers". Well this gave more hope to my theory. Can anyone confirm what has happened? ------------------ ShadowMaster of the Theives of Darkness. I'm also an ice cream man! []####[]::::::> |

If you wish to play the game as a truly evil character, prepare to be disappointed. The designers put little effort into making the game playable as an evil party, and it is definitely less rewarding when it comes to experience and items.
Of the NPC's that can join your party, only 3 of 16 are evil, and most of the "neutral" NPC's behave like good aligned characters. If you attack the guarded slaver compound, you walk out with celestrial fury, nice armor, multiple quality helms, potions, and other goodies. However, if you are evil, and piss off the Radiant Heart, you get squat when you whipe out their compound. |

Still, it is a nice change of pace to play as an evil party; especially after playing a good aligned one. It is much more difficult at first. You do get less gold, less special items, and less exp. Although, as you get stronger you can start cashing in on the Amnish Soldier/Cowled Wizard groups that keep attacking you.
With my evil party, I adopted the "take no sh*t" attitude. An NPC begins t0 annoy you? Jaheira: "Hmm. I hope this is not a sign of things to come. We must strive to maintain balance." Edwin: casts Flesh to Stone - Jaheira Jaheira: petrify |

LOL. I never liked her. Even in my good party. Still i thought a Emotion:Hopelessness spell would have been funny:
Jaheira: We must strive to maintain balance. Edwin: Emotion:Hopelessness spell Jaheira: We must strive to...... oh i give up, just kill me now oh powerful edwin. I lay down to die. ------------------ ShadowMaster of the Theives of Darkness. I'm also an ice cream man! []####[]::::::> |
