So that's got me thinking, if those character really that "evil", or they just have a possibility to develop as evil, depending on your actions

I remember that, but I've always wondered if that was something that later got changed. We don't know about Minsc and Jaheira but we do know Halsin wasn't intended to be a companion so that only leaves Karlach--and Minsc if he was intended from the beginning. I'm not counting Jaheria because she wasn't actually good in the previous games.
