I kind of hope not. I’d find it disappointing to have to lock myself into a path that early in the game. Particularly if it was something as black and white as an evil or good path. Hopefully the Larian writers will pull off something greyer and twistier.

Good point, and I hope we do get something of this mood from BG3 as well. Or at least that we are forced to compromise, pick the lesser of evils, or that some of the decisions we make with good intentions turn out badly and vice versa. I’d find that kind of tale more interesting, and I think there are some promising signs in EA.
