[QUOTE="Rystil Arden, post: 2976129, member: 29014"] Huh? So are you saying that Palpatine would have been forced to good alignment in the early Star Wars movies by virtue of being nice to people as a cover for his evil schemes? Or that an evil character who was an orphan can't also volunteer at an orphanage in her spare time to help other orphans (as well as find potential recruits for her dark cult)? It seems like you are saying that evil characters in your game have to be possessed with crazy raving evil that commits random evil acts for no reason, so let me submit for your approval the yochlol demon: Yochlol demons have been known to fall in love with handsome mortal men and become their paramours. The relationship [I]never[/I] ends in the lover's betrayal by the yochlol, who acts as the perfect lady, but it results in ostracism and eventually death at the hands of the paramour's former friends and relatives for eloping with a demon, after which the yochlol retaliates by killing those who ostracised her lover and then returning to the Abyss. So are you saying that the yochlol is incapable of performing something in its description? [/QUOTE]
