What will evil be in Tranny anyway?

There's no way they'll depict rape, brutal violence against children, tr00 racism (e.g. "fucking nigger!!", not "dwarfs are short!! i dont like them!!").
So what can they possibly put in a game to make a 21st century man feel like a bad-ass..?
How can this game deliver on the promise of evil won?

The evil overlord can set up a network of magical devices to drain the souls of the land's newborns and use those souls to power the rebirth of his evil god. +M

They didn't depict that in BG2, even though it happened off-screen, most probably. Also with Mass Effect's sex scenes as a basis, imagine the wonderful hate (and all the attention) it would garner.

Like I said before, most evil thing will probably be genocide/ethnic cleansing to wipe out whatever group is capable of resisting the new ruler.

So it's different from playing a good guy in CRPGs, in that case you do it just for xp and loot.

Anti-hero is as far as I see Obsidian doing "evil".

You'll be a troubled man with a dark mysterious past who hides a heart of gold behind a scarred face and harsh attitude.

In this game, you're not even the big honcho of evil. You're like a middle person and it will probably include a good path of sorts.

I hope it will be machiavellianism type of evil, to serve your purpose, e.g induce some province to rebellion only for them to get killed but also weakening your enemy as well, rather than "OMG I'M KILLING EVERYONE WITHOUT PURPOSE, I'M SO BAD AND EVIL BUAHAHAHA".

More mature kind of evil, like in AoD.

Evil?
Should've spent more on propaganda.
Also whole setup is weird - giving so much power (right of absolute judgment!) to some random man. Doesn't look like tyrant to me. More like someone who believes into selfless people, justice and ponies.

The white-haired woman in blue appears in enough of the screenshots to make me think she's the PC, so yeah, most likely.

PC RPG Website of the Year, 2015 Make the Codex Great Again! Grab the Codex by the pussy Insert Title Here RPG Wokedex Divinity: Original Sin 2 A Beautifully Desolate Campaign Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag. Pathfinder: Wrath
The player will immerse xirself in the role of a mid-level executive in the Realm of Evil Corp. Xir character's tasks will be holding office meetings with other employees of Evil, aiming to hit Evil-targets for the quarter by managing the efforts of enslaved progressive minded folk, and taking care of the paperwork being up-to-date.

Eventually, the player character will discover xir true gender/philosophical/political identity, and will go on to subvert the Evil system, carving out a small realm of hope for the progressive humanity.

Big fight against Evil scheduled for the sequel.

Actually this game is about a god inside a mortal shell. He wants to judge his creations, but wants to do it without his knowledge and power, so comes down. If you judge GUILTY too much, then at the end you, as the god of creation, decide that the world should end, otherwise "good ending".
