Btw, is there anyone here who is as successful during lvls 1-3 as later?
Because I am at a point where I can ironman the game on Hard, except for lvls 1-3. Not sure to what extend it is my fault, but I feel that there is certainly a difficulty dive between lvl3 and lvl4.
elevangelist: The world and all that is worldly is Evil, to enter the Kingdom of Heaven you must cast it all away, preferably into my back account.
Feminist: Masculinity is Evil incarnate.
Trashos: They're both right, that's ackshually what makes Evil Good.
I am not saying Evil is good, I am saying it has a point. We are probably using different definitions for it though. For example, in my definition practical Evil societies allow cruelty, within specific rules in the case of Lawful Evil, but do not necessarily always enforce it.
In many societies, within Christianity too, it has been generally considered perfectly OK to treat those who are below you in hierarchy cruelly (peasants when you are a lord, slaves when you are a citizen, and from what I remember, although I could be wrong, the Bible does not give a shit about animal rights). Is that Evil or not? I say it is, I just don't think it is unnatural or that it should always be avoided.
In Baldur's Gate setting I would probably have been a Harper, trying to keep both Evil and Good in check. I have explained above why I play Evil in Kingmaker, I have never had a lot of chances to have satisfying Evil playthroughs in other games.
