In which I get held back a year in evil school

[bookzombie]

I may have mentioned this before, but when it comes to computer games I suck at being evil. In fact where (particularly) RPG games give you the 'being evil' option I normally go for the 'good' options as it tends to suit my playing style.

So when I started playing Neverwinter Nights 2 I thought I'd go for an evil character just to prove that I could. Now the game is clever enough to  gradually move your chosen character alignment depending on what actions you choose from the many dialogue trees.

Last night I noticed that at some point, unbeknown to me, the game had decided that my 'Lawful Evil' character had become 'Lawful Neutral'. I was much miffed by this development.

So, I suck at being evil once again.

Actually thinking about it the structure of the game and the way you deal with your AI-controlled companions actually does, ultimately, encourage 'good' behaviour. But that's a think for another time...

Oh, I wouldn't be good at being evil, either.

I love silly internet questionnaires of the "Which circle of Dante's Hell would you be in?" type, but I always seem to come out as pure and innocent no matter what. Even if I don't tell the truth...

I don't get nearly enough opportunity to use an outlet for my evilness. NN2... I'll remember that.

I'm sure you're hiding an evil streak in there somewhere and can pull it off. ;)

I can see the schoolyard taunts now: P wears evilpants! P wears evilpants!

(tee hee. It's a dirty job, eh?)
