I think this approach of focusing the EA on evil playthroughs is not a good strategy for the game. It runs the risk of making the evil path default for the game, because that's what will get all the iterative improvement attention. Even the good aligned companions won't show until after EA, and so won't benefit from that iterative improvement. A good EA strategy would allow a representative slice of the game to be iterated and not just one particular way of playing the game.
As far as I know, the only way EA focuses on evil is that there are no good aligned companions at launch. Other than that, all good options are still present in the game. Your companions will get upset with you, but there is nothing stopping a player from being just.
The good aligned companions will be in EA, just not day 1, so they will have a chance to benefit from the EA process too.
Plus, Minsc is almost certainly going to be in the game, and he is such an incorruptible paragon of righteousness, I don’t think there will be anything to worry about.
Have I mentioned before that I really like Minsc?
😁
