Every time people lament changes to the lore that amount to "not every member of species X is irredeemably evil" and claim the game is removing villains from it, I think how villains of so-caleld evil species fall into two cathegories: a) bland and boring and b)have something else, unrelated to their species going on for them, that makes them interesting.
Interestingly though it does make for compelling heroes like Drizzt and Wulfgar.

Kinda of an overplayed trope now.
Because it was a strong character trait, first! So much so, that many people started using it!
