I could maybe see the justification in a neutral aligned Lich due to the shortcuts the player takes past the normal rituals with the Lich mentor.
The issue I typically run into with evil playthroughs of CRPGs is the fact that the writers often conflate evil actions as simply being a short-sighted dick. This is especially frustrating in games with well-written and engaging companions who happen to be evil.
That wasn't really an issue in the Alpha though. There were a lot of evil options that made sense and were particularly satisfying to choose.
