Undead are presented as "evil" in almost every RPG game I played (not to mention games like L4D2) I think that only time when I had "normal" undead was when I played mine undeads in WoW. Plus I do not see em as that evil at all, I think that only one who has tag as villain of origin characters is that human Ifn-Abn-Metz (I prolly typed it wrong)
While Fane was one who made original masks you still make your own mask. Plus only thing that we know of undead story at this moment is "he is (Fane) entombed alive, layed there about 3000 years later in totally different world and world has totally changed for him"
We dunno entire story, but from my opinion I am getting tired of almost every RPGs showing orcs, undeads, trolls and other monsters as bad guys, and showing humans, elves, dwarfs, plumbers and hedgehogs as heroes.
I wanna play as noble paladin undead or as wicked cloaked shadowblade dwarf...... (ok ok dwarfs are sometimes seen as rouges but o well :p )
