Yeah, I already pretty much figured that I'm a :::spoiler servant of Bhaal ::: considering the "reward" I got for killing a certain someone.
I will say it’s a bit more complicated than that…
If you can stomach/embrace the evil it opens up some fun/interesting Act 3 stuff. The Durge arc and the “full-send evil” endings for Astarion and Shadynasty specifically were neat to see given how not-evil they can turn out in a “good” playthrough.
What is the evil ending for Astarion? Is it when you let him become a vampire lord? Because I already did that both times. He seemed to really want it, and I didn't think it would be smart to release 7000 starving vampire spawn into the streets of Baldur's Gate.
Yeah that’s what I'd say is the “evil” ending, though your point is correct…I liked that his endings are morally ambiguous either way you choose (unlike Shadowheart, whose endings are pretty clearly “good”/“evil”).
I've still been playing this evil playthrough, but very sparsely. Shadowheart is already very different from my previous playthroughs, so I guess I will get to see her evil ending if I ever get there.
