First time playing an “evil” campaign, with a friend running a Durge.
We’re failing so miserably in so many comic ways.
We killed most of the origin companions because they’re mostly good two-shoes. When we were done only Lae’zel and Astarion were left.
In Act 2, because we murdered Shadowheart in Act 1, we were locked out of killing the Nightsong because we didn’t have Shar’s Chosen with us. Even after killing Isobel, somehow we ended up with both Jaheira and the Nightsong at our camp, through bad decisions and forgetting to save frequently.
Further, Minthara was glitched and missing in Act 2 after our Durge romanced her in Act 1 but chose not to give in to her urge and kill Minthara because we wanted to recruit her Overly Attached Girlfriend self to our party.
By Act 3, our Monk said “I feel like we’re bad at being evil.”
I sort of do, too. Being a goody-two-shoes in real life can make it hard to know how to be a sinister mustache twirling villain.

Well to start with maybe broaden your idea of evil. Just killing and murdering is evil but there are lots of other ways to be evil.
What about slowly turning good characters bad by slowly encouraging them to do small wrongs. Like convincing them to pick someone’s pocket. Or justifying theft and other petty crimes.
What about looking the other way when criminals commit crimes and just saying… Not my problem.
Start thinking about long term goals and then add narcissism and selfishness to every choice.
Yeah, Shadowheart is a member of a stunningly evil cult, not sure why anyone would think she was good.
Plus those bangs, you can tell she’s pure evil incarnate.
