    Being evil is brutal in BG3. They have you go through turn-based combat to murder defenseless civilians, party members are totally broken by the actions they took and openly hate you, and the party members that stay comment on how much of a backstabbing bastard you are.

    It’s nothing like a campy, fun Mass Effect renegade playthrough. Kinda depressing honestly.

      Idk, Gale got over my atrocities pretty fast. I wanted him to stay but resent me. Instead we were back to normal and it was strange, must be the high charisma of my character. I starded my evil sor-lock playthrough last year and haven’t finished it, so I might check this article out 'cause some stuff does feel bad man… Haha

      I’m trying it now, and it’s tough. Karlach is one of my all time favorite characters so being on her bad side in particular is rough. The main incentive is just seeing a fresher side to events the game overall after two nobler playthrough.

        The only way I could manage my evil dark urge & minthara playthrough was to leave Karlach entirely unrecruited. Not that you could even get that far with her anyway as she doesn’t agree with evil choices and will sooner or later leave.
