Plenty of evil options BTW. I just played my first evil playthrough and my party included my evil Tav, Lae'zel, SH, Astarion, and Minthara. While it's true Wyll
left after I raided the grove
he was evil enough early on to kill Karlach at my behest (I really wanted
for my Tav). I never bothered with Gale because I didn't need him but I'm confident I could have corrupted him to at least be a useful idiot for my schemes.
I must say the moment
I betrayed the Emperor and became the Absolute
was quite dramatic and satisfying in a role-playing way. It really was an impulsive decision. I think they did a very good job with evil routes all things considered.
