If the downsides aren't that extreme, why not play evil?

I would suggest that the answer, boiled down, will amount to: the downsides *are* that extreme. Because it feels crappy making evil choices sometimes. It's painful to hurt innocents and not help when helping is within your power. Not to mention the in-game sacrifices.

Yeah but you are dead if that happens. The DM would take your character at that point and you would re-roll a new one. The Tadpole becomes the Mindflayer. You become some blobs of spare flesh here and there.
