I played through Patch 6 as evil first. Now I'm playing good. Definite difference. Evil path = MUCH less fun. It's pretty much a more "Don't speak to me. I'm busy just being a Murder Hobo" playthrough. When I got to the Underdark, it's like my companions are just there, now. No dialogue. No convos. It's pretty much just business, like the fun is dead and there's no real interaction or nothing. It's like the game has just stopped and In playing through an unfinished area.

Meanwhile, not so with good path. People chat still, etc.
