    [​IMG] Why do you guys find it so hrad to play Evil?

    I'll probably create my usual 8 parties. Probably recreate the People I made from IWD into it. From IWD, to IWD2 to G:tToEE

    It should be cool. 2 evil parties, 3 good parties, 2 neutral and one Neutral/Good mostly druidic party.

    I'll create a party with purly CE. Probally a Mage and Fighter and then pick up a rouge and another fighter as NPCs.

    haaaa, I'll play neutral for sure, being tooo good is boring and evil well is evil, I'll also play a party that are mainly "tree hugger"

    Ranger
    Cleric of Obad-hai
    Druid (duh)
    Wizards well it's not a tree hugger but still useful
    Druid/bard indeed weird but I would really like to create a "Celtic" character a sort of bagpipe player whose travel has given him druidic power...

    i almost always choose neutral. I (personally) can't be classified as good or evil. So my choice is obvious.

    Ah, I can't decide. Either CG, TN, or NE. Probably chaotic good, as I've started off with in every other CRPG. But I have taken a liking to neutral evil. If something gets in your way, kill it :evil:

    Why does everyone hate evil characters so much? Personally I think evil characters are the best and I've only played as a good character once, in the very first Baldur's Gate. So it goes without saying, evil. :evil:

    Can’t wait for release, I read almost everything what was published (on-line or magazines). First time I always go as good guy (preferably CG) so it won’t be different this time, however I will start with all aliments possible just to see the starting vignettes. With 60 ending possibilities this game will keep me on playing for very long time.

    BTW Alexander you CAN NOT have paladin and evil characters in the same party.

    I usually like to play my characters around the neutral zone therefore allowing me to draw from bith good and evil.

    The reason people don't play evil is because video game RPGs make things harder on evil alignments. Lesser rewards and weaker NPCs for your party mostly.

    I'll probably start a true neutral party with a fighter, monk, rogue or bard, cleric, and sorcerer and go from there.

    I disagree, most RPG's make things easier for evil parties, not only do they get more stuff but they also have an easier time with quests.

    As for me, good.
