    I didn't vote because I don't understand your question. Can you elaborate? Who are you asking is good or evil. Also, in the second question, are you asking who is more evil between the two? Sorry, but the questions are rather confusing.

    I think he means which path through the game you enjoy more, Good or Evil on the one hand, and helping the Shadow Thieves and helping Bodhi on the other hand.

    I find that alignment means nothing. I pick lawful good but in reality, even as a Paladin my PC is completely self serving. Your lawful good? It's just too bad, if you've got something I want. I would say all my PC's are evil but some hide it well enough to be rangers or paladins.
    As for Bohdis or Arans side, I usually take the shadow thieves side because I think it is much more interesting to kill the vampires.

    Agreed, CHARNAME is a homocidal maniac no matter which way you look at it. Is turning down a cash reward or two enough to define the "good" path?

    The first result surprise me. I always think that BG2 was made in favor of evil way. (Best Mage and Cleric are evil)

    I recently read some post about the storyline between BG1 and BG2. My conclusion was that the hero became evil after leaving Baldur's gate. But I'm not very good in english and it could be the reason of my interpretation.

    Playing evil in this game is sort of lame, playing good is just default. I side with the Shadow Thieves as well because I usually play as a rogue.

    My vote is with Bodhi. I had more fun by killing the entire shadow thieves domain than the vampire. I hate the level drain of the vamp and I hate fighting Arkanis Gath and his kill sword while killing the thieves after joining them. That's what they deserve, with their f*****g liars. :)

    I think you get better loot fighting for the vamps, but better xp fighting against them. I can never trust bodhi an inch though, due to incessant replaying.

    I usually go with the Shadow Thieves. Yes, they are backstabbing, lying pricks, but what do you expect - they are thieves, after all. Bodhi is one arrogant uppity vamp, thinks she's immortal and oh-so-powerful (hasn't even been around for a few decades, those being an elf excluded). It's enjoyable how after she's been patronizing the whole time she realizes that you've beaten her and are going to give her the old stake. "No! This soul is mine!" A poor loser on top of everything.
    As for alignment, I tend to play chaotic good, although some of the time I get strong neutral tendencies (like loot everything not nailed down, including what had been nailed down before I looted the nails). Help the dudes, sc... the rules.
    By the way, does Bodhi's guild have someone like Arcanis Gath who gives you a kiss on the neck if you kill or mug someone?
