My problem with DOS2 was not being evil, it was that nothing you do seem to matter much at all.
I would say the best evil setting I know is the witcher series.
After some thinking I decided that by DnD standarts the world is lawful evil in cities and neutral evil outside of cities.
In towns the witch hunters enforce order by enforcing the dogma of the church and burning heretics alive.
The rest of the country is ruled by bandits, witches or others who do whatever they want to increase their power.
There are some good characters and most people are neutral, but the ones with most power are usually lawful evil or neutral evil.
This makes sense because evil chars care mostly about their own power but chaotic evil ones (there are some of them) are too unorganized to rule over anything for a longer time.
While the game is quite dark and evil, you still have the feeling that your actions matter and it makes a difference if you chose a or b.
