would have been helpful if there were an evil path. not just mmorpg quest with sex scene
yeah, the game funnels you to the grove and gives you the Tiefling's sob story so it's really difficult not to side with them first, which makes siding with Minthara doubly difficult because you're betraying people who were looking to you for help. so you really have to go out of your way to go evil. 75/25 makes sense
You also have to join a cult to something nobody will tell you anything about , with zero chance of getting something out of it as it appears up front. An evil character would probably think "what's in it for me" and right now there is Zero incentive up front for an evil character to join the "Evil" side. What does an evil character want? STATUS, POWER, INFLUENCE, and stuff that empowers them or solves their problems. As it happens the player HAS a personal problem - tadpole related - and if it seems the gobbos are a smooth solution to that, how bad is killing a few kids for an evil character?
The evil side seems like scientologists when you think about it. If you don't know shit about what the goblins are about, then why the fuck would you join? Just to slay the tieflings would be suitable for a chaotic evil demon that feeds on chaos, but you aint that.
Other suggestion for incentive: Minthara makes it clear that you get a personal goblin servant if you choose to join her, as it would befit someone of your grandiose status and power (goblin would be npc in your camp that worhips you, they would basically be like the goblins at the party, choose male or female goblin). She also promises to explain the deal with the tadpole and the absolute and all the questions burning in your mind (she can lie about this, would be fine if she lies), but only if you aid them in slaughtering the tieflings and druids. Then the evil character can be like "oh shit, I can get tangible benefits AND the answers to my important questions?! And all I have to do is kill some kids?! Good deal!"
Maybe I'm talking shit but my mission is to speak my mind since that's what Larian told me to do.
