I can never play evil on my first run of a game, I feel too guilty; second run though, I start seeing it as a game and don't feel guilty (although perhaps DE has multiple ways of playing it beyond good and evil; I haven't actually played it yet)
DE is probably the best modern RPG for giving you options beyond good and evil. Your build determines a ton about what your experience is, so even if you’re doing the same general choices for the game you’ll end up with a very different experience. Another big change will be you political ideology, which can be fascist, lib or commie. And on top of that you pick how you deal with your personal arc, which can be to stay drug/booze addled, clean up your act, or a few options in between.
“Evil” would probably be fascist + drugs, but there’s layers of nuance. The game is amazing and the writing is the best of the decade+. I’d give it a shot.
