I'm bad at being evil. (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

First time playing an "evil" campaign, with a friend running a Durge.

We're failing so miserably in so many comic ways.

We killed most of the origin companions because they're mostly good two-shoes. When we were done only Lae'zel and Astarion were left.

In Act 2, because we murdered Shadowheart in Act 1, we were locked out of killing the Nightsong because we didn't have Shar's Chosen with us. Even after killing Isobel, somehow we ended up with both Jaheira and the Nightsong at our camp, through bad decisions and forgetting to save frequently.

Further, Minthara was glitched and missing in Act 2 after our Durge romanced her in Act 1 but chose not to give in to her urge and kill Minthara because we wanted to recruit her Overly Attached Girlfriend self to our party.

By Act 3, our Monk said "I feel like we're bad at being evil."

I sort of do, too. Being a goody-two-shoes in real life can make it hard to know how to be a sinister mustache twirling villain.

Yeah, Shadowheart is a member of a stunningly evil cult, not sure why anyone would think she was good.

Plus those bangs, you can tell she’s pure evil incarnate.

I'm well aware she is evil, just couldn't stand her and forgot I needed her to kill the Nightsong. Whoops.

Similar story with Gale, he became insufferable at a point and so killing him in an evil run was way on the table.

Wyll was a victim of our raid on the grove. Karlach we killed for the Tyr guys, and then killed them, too. Halsin left because we destroyed the grove.

just couldn’t stand her

I shall not stand by and allow this Shadowheart slander continue uninterrupted!
