Dear Forum Dwellers,
I am thinking of playing an evilish character. - something close to a powerhungry Necromancer.
I was wondering whom to take with me on my party, who is Evil(ish).
Astarion it my first choice.
Then Lae'zel (as I need a fighter to protect me)
But who of the other 3 characters would be most fitting for an evil playthrough?
Shadowheart, Gale and Wyll seem to have a good alignment.
Is it possible to corrupt them?
Has anyone experimented with it?
The answer is Shadowheart. If you want an evil trio with no problems, she is the final link. Yes she has secret light within her, but on the surface she is quite dark and callous. It is against her true nature, but you can probably corrupt her in this way by encouraging her clinging to Shar worship.
Both Wyll and Gale can leave if you go the tadpole/Absolute/goblin route. So it's not worth it. You won't be able to befriend SH in Act 1 though if you go that route, but she still remains. If you're playing as evil as you can be, you probably aren't even interested in romance so it doesn't even matter lol.
