So, almost all random encounters shift one to the "good" side... Penalty for killing a villager outside a town is next to nothing... All you can do is to eat those chicks (there isn't that many of them, though) and play some quests wrong way (also with little harm to your alignment if you like to wander around or farm XP a bit). Yeah, i know that there may be performed treacherous acts of great evil, either that or to fall to idiotic nonsense as killing all the population in a town (Bowerstone at least is safe), altogether in the beginning i see no way how to stay in middle
