I'd argue that the "end result" of the first third is much more relevant to evil playthroughs than the full story ending.
You'd (am i using it right?) not argue ... since i would agree with you, im just saying that Act1 isnt yet complete.
lol probably? I'm pretty bad at grammar

You are partialy ... its a bit more complex. I recomend to at last try it.
I plan on it! I'm currently stuck on wiping at the grove whose multiple small combats are taking soooo long. I just need to push my way through them

That part i dont kinda agree on ... Every character you create is suppose to have Alignment ... they sadly abandoned this system now, since they want us to explore more "grey" areas ... But when you had Alignment ... your character didnt ever "just decided to being evil from now" ... they usualy allready were. Why? That is up to you.

Here i disagree completely ... Yes, most evil character will need to see some benefit, yes players (especialy bad roleplayers, no offence, I don't mean anyone specific) do like to have benefits ... But if your character is sadistic asshole, who just enjoy to torture others ... he dont need any motivation to torture others, its rewarding for him just for the pleasure.
Oh for sure. If you're playing as a sadistic evil (chaotic evil) then the murders themselves are the reward! I'm just saying that other (Lawful and neutral) evil characters don't really have a reason to follow Larian's evil path rn. So I guess saying that "any evil path should..." was incorrect of me. I think we're in agreement here ^_^
