Evil characters could do either: They may feel turning someone into a squirel is more evil than killing them. It's up to you, really.

As pcgiant has said, it really just depends on the brand of evil you want to pursue. Do you want to be sadistic, malevolent, homicidal, sociopathic, xenocidal(very challenging to pull off and live through at the same time), or a quirky mixture of everything. I honestly wouldn't recomend going xenocidal after all killing everybody who is a stranger to you would close out a whole mess of quests. Like maybe all of them? It would also have just about every Coweled Wizard and Bounty Hunter on your tail every three seconds. All this most likely followed by the sudden lack of shops because you killed all the store keeps which were by the way strangers.

Most evil persons prefer Feeblemind/Contagion/Emotion/Imprisonment.

Here's at hint: Roleplay the *character*, not the alignment. RPing the alignment amounts to RPing a walking, talking moral. Alignment is only a tool to mold a character. Developing the history, philosophy (espc. Paladin/Priest classes), and opinions of your character helps determine what *your* character would do under certain circumstances.

As others said, it's about motivation. What motivates your character? Greed, bloodlust, sadism, power, etc.? Don't ask what would they do, but why they would do it. If you know why your character would take action, you know it's the right action for that character. The action might not be the "most evil" action to take, but it's consistent with the character. That's what matters.

The custom biography feature is most excellent for fleshing out character personalities, btw. (The "user" journal entries are fantastic, too.)

Its just how you see your chars. I like playing true neutral or chaotic neutral. with the latter, you get to do everything chaoticly, but not allways good or evil. i might beat up a noble to get money to give to an orphan, then they next second disintegrate a begger. unpredictable!

I would say be a Chaotic Neutral character becuase a character of that alignment would have no problem having the evil characters in you party and might also do some good quests that would give you a rep point. It's like Xero said: if you got too high of a reputation you could just turn around and kill someone for annoying you (like that freaking loser in Trademeet who follows you around and talks to you every 5 seconds! Literally!. Anyway, that's just my 2 cents.
