I haven't actually played durge yet, but I'm planning to this next playthrough. I'm almost finished with my 2nd playthrough, which was supposed to be an evil playthrough, but at each choice, knowing how much I would be missing out on led me to helping and saving people, instead of telling them to fuck off and then hitting them in the face with my sword. Except for Balthazar. I wasted no time talking to that ugly bitch. I just attacked him.
I mean arguably its the best and easiest place to take him out. There's not really a reason to keep him alive unless you really are in an Evil campaign.
Even if I was evil, I'd never team up with someone like him, unless he could provide me with something that I couldn't obtain without him. He's incredibly selfish, arrogant, and condescending. I can't see any evil -or even any good- character I play tolerating his banter, and demands. The only reason I didn't kill him outright in the first playthrough was because he killed me when I tried. LOL. I just wasn't powerful enough the first time through.
Evil isn't about being a murder hobo, that's more of a homicidal maniac than an evil character (although it's still evil). A lot of times it's about being completely selfish, and self absorbed, but also manipulative to get what you want. Some of the most successful people on the planet are evil, hell, possibly all of them. It feels like there should be other rewards for an evil path.
