The easiest way to play someone who is evil or does the "bad" descions is quite easy.

Create an Warden who has sociopath who smiles really nice, but always is looking for what helps him/her the most.

My "evil" PT was Everd the dark elf mage who:
Sold out Jowan in expectation of a reward.
Murdered anyone who had something he wanted, and that he could get away with.
Sided with the Werewolves because the Dalish insulted him, but not before nobbing Gheyna.
Despoiled the Urn, killed Leliana (already slept with her and Isabella), then killed the Dragon, and all the cultists and Genetivi since he did not want anyone to know about the Urn or what he did.
Kept the anvil and killed Shale because he wanted more Golems who did not run around calling him it, and didnt really care that Branka killed her house.
Used the blood ritual since he didnt care about the city elves, even though he came from an alienage.
Also he killed Zevran after talking to him, but did the Crow's quest line anyway.

Romanced Morrigan, but ran her off before the DR, and let Loghain die in the end, after getting Alistair executed. Went on to become the Chancellor for Anora and plans to rule her with blood magic.
Pretty much he looked for whatever made him stronger, and what kept him safe. I was only left with: Sten, Oghren, Loghain, and Dog in the end.

In Awakening he did the bad choices and in the end sided with the Architect since he wanted more firepower against the mother, plus he burned Amaranthine since he likes fire and really just wanted to keep his fort in one piece since he was using it to build his power.
Also in Witch Hunt he stabbed Morrigan for her running off and lying to him, even though she had his child. The ring he sold along time ago, so yah.

Glad I dont have to play like that again, since Everd scared me to be honest.

Giggles . . . did you and I play a duplicate evil character?  Because I did ALL those things just as you described.

Shakes hand.

Killing Leliana just feels like the biggest Dick move to me. Espically after playing LS and seeing what she had to go through just to survive, only to be violently murdered by the warden.

Its worse because Sten got a Two-Handed killing blow on her.
Yah I pretty much went outside and pondered how I could have become such a monster.

Then went back to murder knife Genetivi.

I am so glad I never have to see the evil choices again.



Killing Zevran was hard because well I like him.

Killing Shale hurt so much at the anvil.

Killing Wynne during the mages part was I will admit enjoyable.

Killing Leliana made me curl up and die on the inside.

Sending Alistair off to be executed made me feel like a bastard.

Making Morrigan see that the man she thought loved her, run her off without concern hurt.

Then stabbing her in Witch Hunt left me ill almost.



In short Everd let me see all the more harsh choices, and killed my soul in the process.

It's...hard to be bad in DAO. I've tried several times to go 'evil.' Sure there are plenty of nasty things to do during the game. I just find it hard to actually do all of them. I've tried the CE and HN, which seems to be the most common rp choices for these types of runs (though mage gets a lot of nods.) Each time something has happened during gameplay to veer back to at least middle ground.



I'm currently going HN male rogue and he has made many more of the nasty decisions but even he has fallen in with Leli and her willingness to meet in the middle (hardened) has him giving some as well. That's ok. I've thoroughly enjoyed all of the characters that lasted to mid-level or more. I may have to go with another mage (would be my third) to be a vile character.



In the past DnD settings, most of my pcs have been chaotic evil. I think for me that additional origins would be needed for this type of run or at least some additional options. Like the option to be the dwarven ruler or a human commoner.

Ha!

I pretty much have made the same choices in my uber evil playthrough. Except I have more living companions, those who will end up totally screwed up because of me in the long run is fun, but Wynne, Alistair, Leliana definitely dead, everyone else evicted or destroyed in some way. I do hate my evil character, in contrast, Morrigan seems like a Chantry sister.

ugh why do people always put tatoos on their human characters. Sure it makes since for Drawf commoners and Dalish elves, but humans?

And why not? 

Humans can't have tattoos? Just because it's not a traditional thing like it is for the Dalish (or Dwarf commoners), doesn't mean they can't have them. 

You may not like them, but there's nothing wrong with people wanting to put tattoos on humans.

It tokk me forever to make a truely evil Warden, but to me evil is a horndog. ever since I finished my Renegade Shepard I like being badass but not evil.

[Mack_Attack]

Haven't got too far, but I'm doing a third playthrough as an **** mage. Trying to pick most of the evil/negative options, but as it's been mentioned, it's hard to stick entirely to one path. So far I've left Redcliffe to burn and that's about it.



I did love the bit in Lothering where you can intimidate the revered mother in hope of getting Sten and Alistair just loses his mind. Morrigan's response is priceless, something like "And now we threaten priests... fun!"

[Giggles_Manically]

The Hardest thing is getting into the right "mindset".



I cant see myself doing many things so I create a PC that is based around a mindset that lets me play "evil".



Although you can do far more horrible things in Planescape Torment and Kotor 2.

[CalJones]

I find it very hard to play certain types of evil - I can't just be a jerk for the sake of it. But I can be ruthless. I am quite happy to play a Renegade Shepard, for instance - taking certain tough actions for the greater good - but I had a really hard time playing a darkside Revan in KotOR due to the fact it was more about doing jerk things for fun.

[Jon Jern_]

I think the only "evil" thing I can find myself to do is the blood magic sacrifice for Islode, mainly because I've been doing the circle option all the time just to please Alistair.
