Larian should take some notes. The standard evil route is all about being someone's minion. That's. Well. A choice. It's a shame it's the only one.

I'd like the type of evil where you can choose to torture the goblin who tried to force you into torturing a prisoner for information. Malicious compliance of a good/neutral character... or a step towards darkness?

A good decision for someone self absorbed, too. You think "YOU can order ME?" type of characters. Why only scare the goblin through a bluff? Actions speak louder than words...
