False. The characters have alignments and they are between neutral and evil. You can connect the dots. I said game not the characters btw. Not to mention they each give questionable reasons if you talk to them. Laezel tells you she enjoys cruelty and Astarion was always a bad idea. Shadowheart does not like vampires and thinks that he was a liability I think. Gale approves of anything that furthers his goal even if they are dark. My guess is that he saw him as a dangerous tool. Wyll wanted to make him a hero despite Astarion clearly stating Wyll is the tasty one. Just a few examples.
Which is what I wrote? That they fall between neutral and evil. This doesn't make them some universal counter on what "the game considers evil", because the opinions of an npc are their own. Ultimately it is up to the writer how the character they have created would view the events in the game. Interpretations by players will always vary. For example, you consider Shadowheart soft. I have played the game several times by now, and Shadowheart tried to murder two characters of mine. So I base my opinion of her on that, and to me she is dangerous, even moreso because there is no guarantee it won't happen again. By comparison, with Astarion so far there has been no indications in the EA content that he disobeys the order not to drink human blood. Btw, I am not sure where you got the "if you think you can change him" from, since I didn't write anything like that. I actually consider both him and Shadowheart a potential danger, and both of them capable of lying and betraying the main characrer.
