As NPC's they are not effected by their actions etc hence are in a different boat really to the player character. However, thats not really a fair answer to your question. I would consider Irenicus evil but with a bit of a pychotic twist, in that he believes himself so above everyone else he thinks he can get away with anything. Bohdi is fanatical about the power her vampiric curse has put on her, so again a bit psychotic in nature rather than just evil. Of course for the PC Bohdi offers one of the few opportunities for the player to make some truly evil decisions depending how you deal with her.
To DesR85:
To each their own your reasons are fair enough and I can see your point, some people like to play through them more times to get a different outcome along the way. Some of these games are not just about beating the final boss but the journey to it, and this path can be achieved in numerous ways. I did say at the outset that I was referring mostly to my background in Persistent Worlds (PW's) and hence was referring to games that dont really have an end but are more a series of adventures.
