Hi I'm playing BG2 and after I beat the game I like to restart with a TOTALY new party. What about evil ones? Is it enjoying the play with them?? IS IT POSSIBLE TO WIN THE GAME WITH THEM? or side-quests?

I'm afraid that they will lose tooooo many subquests cos mostly the game is deesigned for goods

Not true as greed will remain your main objective in search for altermate power.
Nah I can't think of any worthy quests not open to you! Evil NPCs in this game are by far more powerful! You might regret not picking up some of your old chums that have come all this way though!

Ahahhhh... Evil Aligned characters just have to be a little more... creative with the possibilities and opportunities that come your way.

The only downside is that you have to put up with a couple of neutral no-hopers till ToB.

evil-aligned parties are a lot of fun to play, in my opinion. i agree that the game is crafted more towards the classic good-aligned party, but that seems to change a little towards the end of BGII, and there is definitely more room for an evil aligned party in ToB, no doubt.
I say go for it, and have fun with it.

You can play evil as long as your idea of evil is to not just kill peasants and what not, becasue then you will have big problems. But the game does allow for evil that is apparent in some of the responses it allows you to choose when dealing with npc's, you just have to be carefull and don't make the mistake of trying for a low rep...not to low anyway. And have alot of coin for those items you crave

It definatly is possible! The evil NPCs are great. It just is more expensive having that low rep is all. But if you are going evil then just make up for your cash issues with alot of stealing hehe.

hell, if you get your rep low enough, you can pay for everything by selling the plate mail of the town militia that are constantly hunting you!

I had a rep of 2 WITHOUT killing any innocents (I don't count either the gravedigger or Nalia's Aunt as innocent)... it IS expensive to keep the rep around an "acceptable" 6-7.

If I slay all the persons in town can it effect the whole story? ITs very hard to know what you have to do or not when youre evil.

Don't try to second-guess the game, is my advice. Just act evil, be evil, get into the role. Break heads and don't take no slack and groove to evil vibes. To hell with how the story will go - because if you're acting in the spirit of being a mercenary-minded money-grabbing pitiless cruel immoral scumbag, the story should sort itself out. You miss a few opportunities, but you'll gain a couple too. Just think a bit - if you find a situation that might just go the other way, have a few thoughts on how maximum profit can be made with as little effort as possible - or just do nasty things for the hell of it. Whenever there's an alternative path to take from the straight-and-narrow, it should make itself clear.
