Seriously both Kotor games are guilty of this (but especially Kotor 1).
You have to be cartoonishly evil at times in order to progress down the dark side. I've never done it, but I'm curious to try a dark side playthrough where I remain somewhat neutral on the more unnecessarily evil options (like outright threatening to kill someone for asking for money) and just pick options that I think a power hungry sith wannabe would choose.
Its lame that they didn't employ horseshoe theory tbh, being very good and passionate should still make you a sith as a jedi is basically a boring centrist. Its not being evil but just passion that is supposed to control that.
I do like that Kreia has a couple points where she calls you out for killing random people. But the game mechanics didn't really reflect the message they were going for.
