So I did a little experiment and tried with a new game to get the tag. I managed to get it very early by only doing the following:
- Leaving everyone on the ship
- Stealing from the elf by the alcove (through dialogue)
- Helping Griff's thugs instead of the elf
- Turning in stingtail
Bam. 4 "evil" acts was all it took.. Yet somehow, on my main playthough, even with my huge list of "evil" acts - Because I didn't do a few of these early evils, it seems as though I can't do enough to compensate for it. Doing evil things early on is weighed MUCH more heavily than doing evil stuff lator on... Honestly that seems *really* imbalanced..
