    There were a lot of posts a few months ago about being evil, and I wanted to know a few things. Without mods, how does one:

    1: Poison the Druid Grove?
    2: Do the D'Arnise keep evilly (is there a way to make common cause with the troll leader?)
    3: Do the Unseeing Eye quest evilly?
    4: Side with Firkraag?

    .... and any others I might have missed -- I mean, I can lead Anomen down the road to being Chaotic neutral, and I've killed Valygar for his body several times, and I picked the Svirfneblin's pocket for the light gem and let the little guys all get slaughtered, but I've never done anything evil other than these things. Help! I wanna be Bad to the Bone!

    Most quests have an evil side to them but you will see that as you go through the game, there are some quests, which are just good, but then we naturally avoid them if we are evil. There are loads more especially in the underdark. Pheare quests, killing Soulafein etc It would take forever to list them all but; if you are, going to be evil then you won’t do something good by accident.

    [​IMG] Don't do quests the good way. It simply proves you're a pansy.

    [For those who fail to detect the sarcastic tone here, may you be swiftly weeded out of the gene pool in the name of Darwin for the good of all humanity]

    Ever heard of roleplaying?

    Usually the best way to make any quest an evil quest is to qualify it as "I did it all for the gold and an excuse to hit things."
    Take Korgan for example, he mentions fighting off a tribe of giants to save a town. Most would view that as a 'good' act, however he did it all for the money and an excuse to hit things...

    If you role play as an evil character chances are 10 to 1 that you'll never get past 1,000,000 exp with a six person party. Seriously, evil wouldnt give a **** about Imoen. Yes role playing a bit is ok, but honestly I see it as such a waste of your effort to do the quests an evil way, then again if you've played this game enough times, some variety is nice.

    How far towards evil?

    100% Chaotic Evil?

    Then you must kill everyone in your path.

    You can do some goodie, goodie quests and get the reward, but then kill everyone and laugh at them for trusting you!

    :evil:

    Careful with the shop keepers though.
    Make sure you got everything you want before going into your Bloodlust.

    Kill Hendak. Don't attack the slavers.

    Pick one of the rival families in Trademeet.

    Let Viconia burn.

    Put Jan in prison, or let his sister die from the sickness.

    Let that Harper guy die.

    Steal from shopkeepers and kill them if they catch you... and save.

    Kill Mekrath instead of finding the imp.

    Give the Rod from the Unseeing Eye quest to Gaal.

    Take the Dragon eggs for yourself

    hmmm.. what else?

    And that doesn't even touch on ToB.

    Keep Malla's Soulstone.

    Don't clear the name of that soldier in Saradush... or better yet, kill the mage that they're relying upon for the defense of the city.

    Let that theif teleport out of Saradush, and laugh at his messy death.

    Many more are possible; you're the Scion of Murder, so act the part!
