When did this happen? Can you explain? Because I don't remember. What I remember is 1. Viconia once served Lolth, but she refused to sacrifice a child to her, even when the punishment was death. And 2. Viconia once wiped out a Shar cult, ignoring Shar's anger and punishment. I don't know where this "probably" comes from.

That answer was not intended for you.

I was trying to explain to the other guy, why the villain do what they do.

And even if you insist he is stupid, do you really think BG1's him and BG3's him is the same character? Let's say there're two characters, one believed in god and died in starvation, one believed in himself and died in a hopeless war, one was a fanatic, one was a mad man, both are stupid, but are they the same?

Let's not wander too far away from the topic, what I was arguing is about the out of character writing, evil characters are different. What, was Sarevok also a puppy dog of Bhaal in BG1? Who "did all the things for Bhaal"?

I think *because* they're brainless fanatics they orchestrated a war. Pleasing their God.

If Sarevok was just brainless evil but not a Bhaalspawn/Bhaalworshipper would the first thing he think about in his evil plain is: Mass Murder?

And Yes, I would argue Sarevok was always been Sarevok's puppy. I'd argue BG1 wouldn't happen if Sarevok wasn't trying to be a good daddy's puppy.

I mean why else is He trying to generate chaos?

Sarevok in BG1 is daddy's little pet dog who did what he did in the name of Daddy.

Sarevok in BG3 is also daddy's little pet dog, but no longer his favorite, because he has proven to be failure.

Same logic applies to Sendai, Amelyssan etc.

They all cannot fathom all the chaos and murders, regardless of the states intention of each Bhaalspawn only feed Bhaal not them.

They have not got half the brain of the CHARNAME to resist Bhaal and not to become his pet.
