The old Bioware is dead, I'm afraid. Now it's just another studio that EA ruined. You could see a drop in the quality of their games as soon as they got purchased. Almost all, if not all the talent that made it what it was, left a long time ago.
Because there are a finite number of good writers in the world?
To me, "evil" character isn't character who murders everything cute and nice, and definitely not a murder-hobo, but as was said above, an egotist. Egotist who is cynical, and hopefully intelligent, someone who manipulates, twists and corrupts.
“Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing.” - John Stuart Mill
This is the correct quote because the popular one is misattributed to Edmund Burke. Anyway, I do agree that an evil Machiavellian character should be possible to play in this game and come out on top. It's a pity that what is there is unsatisfying.
