Advice: How hard is it to be evil?

[Deathrydar]

One of the reasons this game is so awesome is because there are different "levels" of evil you can be.

For instance, I am making a Necromancer at launch. I could be a Dark Elf Necromancer, as they are pretty much the evilest of the evilest until Iksar are implemented, but I am going to choose Human.

Dark Elf is its own version of difficulty. But, Dark Elves are allowed in West and East Freeport, Grobb and Ogguk. They are also allowed in the zone that mostly no one can enter, and that is Neriak- 3rd Gate.

And that is where I find the difficulty a tad more difficult as a Human. I cannot buy some of my spells as a Human Necromancer because some of the spells like Gate, Bind Affinity and Lesser Shielding to name a few, are only sold in Freeport at the casters guild and they will not sell to a Human Necromancer. So I need to get someone else to buy those spells for me, or I can try to find out what faction those casters are on and try to raise my faction, although I cannot find any information on the caster's faction.

As a Dark Elf, I would be able to get nearly all of my spells from the Necromancer Guild in Neriak- 3rd Gate or the casters guild in Neriak- Commons. But I cannot enter either location as a Human, so it is a tad more difficult.

But there are also pros and cons such as, as a Human Necromancer, I can bank at the North Freeport bank, but as a Dark Elf, I cannot. But, like I said, as a Dark Elf, I could bank in Ogguk and Grobb.

Not even sure what I am talking about now...

Its fun being evil.

True, you can get into East and West FP, but you still need to be careful there. The guards will leave you alone, but there are plenty of high level NPCs that will still pop you if they see you. The caster's guild in West FP (which you mentioned in the context of Humans), the Monk guild, the Warrior guild. In East FP, it's a bit less dangerous in my experience, but you still have to be careful around certain buildings...I've had an NPC charge out of a building and kill me despite me not being in their line of sight.

True! And speaking of the caster's guild, you won't even know the ones standing at the gate of the building are attacking you. You will just see "<NPC> begins to cast a spell" and you're dead.

I know I am starting evil. Either gonna be a DE Necro or a Troll Shaman. Both are pretty appealing. I know I love the look of Neriak! Always have since first time I started there years ago.
