Am I Evil...? Yes I Am!

Feel free to hum the Diamond Head song as you read this, or play the Metallica remake (not because it's particularly relevant, but because it majorly kicks ass).

At any rate, I have been playing Baldur's Gate since it was first released, as I've mentioned numerous times around here. The thing is, with all of my playthroughs, which number too many to recount, I have ALWAYS played as a goody two shoes. Keldorn, Anomen, and Ajantis have been staple party members. The good path has always felt... "right".
But now that I'm well into chapter 3 of BG2:EE with an evil party that started its adventure in Candlekeep, I am enjoying this far more than I ever thought possible. Additions like Dorn and Hexxat certainly have helped to that end.
I'm done telling people that playing good is the most rewarding path. Not necessarily, and in many cases, actually not true. I think going forward I will be just as likely to go evil as go good.
So when asked, am I evil... in my current state of mind, yes I f%^$in' am is the best response I can give!!
Has EE influenced any other fallen Paladins among us? If so, I have one more offering to help you seal the deal:

Enjoy! And for those in the US, have an EVIL Thanksgiving!!! May the slaughter be abundant. The throne of Blood awaits!

Nah but i hated good from the start because a lot of it is...well almost intellectually impaired. I mostly go neutral or lawful evil.
By the end of my evil run, I had a blast killing everything with skull traps, taking my vengeance against anyone who was ever rude to me or got in the way, and threw back my head to laugh at the sky one too many times for my own good. Can't wait for BG2 and all the roleplaying options for evil (I've been holding off until December for personal reasons). I'll actually get to use the Slayer guilt-free for once! And...you know...kill everything with skull traps.
I don't have a problem. Really. >_>;;
ive just always liked the story more from a good/neutral perspective being evil just feels like it removes most of the interesting dynamics within it and makes it pretty boring to me
I play evil occasionally but far less then neutral or good
ill give evil a shot at some point to see Dorn's content, still not sure about Hexxat but ill maybe give her another go and see if I feel any differently
But my first complete evil playthrough of bg1 was of a blackguard. But the thing was no one could really tell that she was evil because she pretended to be a goody too shoe paladin unless you were an idiot and got on her nerves
About 2:45 in when the chanting starts, is totally Conan!
Also, check out the video for thunderhorse. Makes me want to look into making a Dethklok mod
I'm not going to post a link for that, since the video is totally NSFW, but it is awesome.
My 2 favourite "evil" songs of all time:
When you're evil by Voltaire. (with some fan-animation)
Sympathy for the Devil by Rolling Stones.

Men in tights... Not sure you can get more evil... Unless...

I think Iron Maiden works well. Lets see...6 band members.... 6 spots in the party...
Bruce Dickinson: Blade... OBVIOUS He is a singer, a jack of all trades (write fiction, write music, fly freakin' airplanes and he directed a crappy movie) AND a competitive fencer. Blade meets the singing, the jack of all trades and the sword fighting with the two pips.
Steve Harris: Cleric of Tempus. His galloping bass lines keep the band moving at the right pace and hold everyone together. Works well as a healer and a buffer.
Nicko McBrain: Barbarian with dual clubs to bang away on his drums.
Dave Murray a Sorcerer and Adrian Smith a Mage: They both need to be similar since they work so well together and their cooperation is so integral to the band. Adrian Smith is a mage since he is more technical and methodical on guitars, while Dave Murray is a happy go lucky guy who does great solos and likes to mix it up, thus more of a sorc.
They both reek havoc with their alternating and dual-guitar solos (fireballs everywhere!)
Janick Gers: An Illusionist/Fighter. Illusionist because he brought a much more progressive element to the band and seems to do all the subtle things as a 3rd guitarist that most bands with only one or two axemen can't add to their music. A fighter because of his in your face style as a rhythm guitarist that he brought to the albums No Prayer for the Dying and Fear of the Dark, which while I personally didn't like that era, his work was different and very in your face compared to the more melodic tendencies of the other two.
Sorry for the long post...its just Iron Maiden is the one thing I love more than Baldur's Gate and soccer... my Holy Trinity.
