[Oogly Mage]

*SPOILERS*

Yo I have tried BG2 using different characters and alignments but I was wondering wether there was any reason to have an evil character?

Being evil certainly opens the door to have Viconia, Edwin, and Serevok in your party(allowing you the most powerful mage, cleric and fighter), but it is difficult to maintain a healthy game if you are striving to be evil.

Most of the quests and goals of the game lean towards giving you positive reputation, so it seems that having an evil character has way too many downsides. My favorite PC class is the ranger(muct be good alignment) so that clashes with the idea of being evil. I want to have viconia and edwin but I also want to be good.

I have been struggling with this decision for a while and I wanted to hear what you could tell me regarding your thoughts of the opposite allignments, and what kind of compramise leads the best outcome.
