I sided with the Shadow Thieves first time, & why I sided with Bodhi each additional time *SPOILERS*
![MakeAthkatlaGrtAgain](https://forums.beamdog.com/applications/dashboard/design/images/defaulticon.png)
I sided with the Shadow Thieves and I saw their torture center and torturer. And I was really horrified. Victims left in there tortured for months.
This was way worse than the vampires.
Now siding with Bodhi is supposedly the evil path, but as a matter of ethics I'd side with the vampires so I could end that torture center each game. And then I later exterminate the vampires so both mafias are gone.

*Alternatives* http://www.gibberlings3.net/alternatives/
@PaulaMigrate I actually ran through alternatives for the first time yesterday. Its not bad, but it feels quick and dirty compared to the vanilla options. Being (oddly enough for a "good" option) a straight slaughterfest as opposed to the actual quest chains of the vanilla options.
at least now a days, i dont have to use the silver sword "exploit" to kill renal now
Maztica is a long ways away and Brynnlaw is a nearby island.
As for Renal, his quest comes up before you decide on a guild to join.
*EDIT* Or you know, magic. This IS the Forgotten Realms.
Clearly they use turnips and not tomatoes #ThatsTheFamilySecret #SecretRecipies
You can't solve the issue without losing your innocence (remember that in ToB one of the challenges is when your lost innocent self appear before you...).
And even when you have the Alternatives mod and decide to follow the *good* way, it will mean that a number of innocents will have to die even then.
There's no black and white just a lot of shades/colours in between.
What's more, the reason I feel that they're pushed as the more good option, is the "Enemy of my enemy is my friend" syndrome.
We SEE the Shadow Thieves fighting against Irenicus, in fact it's how we break out.
I'm just trying to think, with that information, why a Paladin (my own main character) would side with Bodhi over the shadow thieves.
You know Edward Cullen, Angel from Buffy, the nicer vampire in Interview with The Vampire.
Well it does give the world style not to have that cliche. The blood would rot. Insects and microbes (in addition to bacteria making it rot) would try to consume the blood.
I don't know for sure, but organic things tend to do this.
The thing is, we never see human victims led into Bodhi's lair even when people go hunting. It's just this pool of blood that magically doesn't rot, stink, or have insects swarming it.
Not sure about vampire physiology but mixing the blood with alcohol or some other poison would probably work. I think they're supposed to be immune to poisons and a lot of poisons kill anything biological...
