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.

Oh wow I haven't played a bard yet, I thought they all got instantly triggered if you took the idol

Well, they do. You have to scoot real quick on the rogue and make sure you can pass a conversation check on the paladin in case the guards come asking questions but totally doable. You have to do all of this after you out Kagha as a shadow druid or the druids go crazy and murder the tiefs. So either do this on an evil run or make sure you get rid of Kagha.

Nowadays I don't even use the paladin though since I've been soloing honor mode. I just pop an invisibility potion and jump onto the podium to steal the idol and while hiding I steal the idol then quickly go to camp. If you put the idol in the chest at camp and then fast travel to the waypoint the guards won't ask you questions and you can just go to the cave and give the idol to Mol.
