Evil can take many forms.
1.I can imagine it is perfectly reasonable for you to leave the fight of the Grove (never done it, though) but siding with the goblins was not an option at that point because whatever your party is, it is not a goblin looking.
2. It depends on the evil. Most evil characters will take their time to study the environment before they decide where the most benefit lies. Scores will be settled once everything becomes clearer.
As an owner of a good PC with a low to medium end graphics, I do hope they will optimize the graphic performance at some point.
I do hope for a release in late 2022 - mid 2023.
Absolutely agree that evil can be different. I played intelligent evil.
1. I didn't say I wanted to side with goblins. Not getting involved is not siding with them. The roleplay was that my character doesn't want to risk his life over the some random people. And the defenders are actually very well positioned behind the walls, so no worry about them loosing, only mercenaries are in serious danger of being killed. That's not even an evil act by itself, it's a neutral behaviour.
2. You know, normally, druids don't go on the murderous rampage over some people whom they just met willing immediately visit a doctor. I didn't expect that all grove will go nuts and start attacking not only me but everyone who's not a druid in the settlement. My expectation was that, even if there will be a fight, it will be only with the entrance guards and that they'll back off after getting few serious hits.
