    i mean, isn’t that kind of a universal consequence of being evil? it’s very much in the spirit of immersive roleplay to be abandoned by most of your friends when you start acting like a maniacal asshole. the only people who will stick around are those who don’t know you well enough or don’t care and are only following you because they got paid to do that

    the message the game is sending is simple - if you want friends to stick around, don’t be evil. and if you want to be evil, prepare to be alone

      Evil people have evil friends too, it just would have been nice for some replacement companions to be there for evil-aligned PCs. The way the game is, you cut yourself out of a good chunk of the game’s content for making decisions that the game lets you make. For the completionists out there, this just feels like punishment.

        the game is a completionist punishment all across the board though! you really can’t see everything in one playthrough

          True enough, it just would have been nice to have more companion options for evil playthroughs, the way it is just barely gives you a full party. Of course this is all moot, since they’re not doing any more content updates.
