Normal evil with a custom character or the other Origin ones? No. You get different rewards. Easier fights, different fights, more difficult fights, different loot you wouldn't get otherwise, etc. D&D doesn't do morality scales the way other games do, and BG3 especially doesn't. From the start of Early Access, being evil was very much a viable path. They still know that most people won't play evil (it's about 34% of players), but Larian fully kitted-out experiences for those who do or will on a replay.
So, could I play as a "hero" who's generally up to fighting the big bad guy (whoever that is), but be evil or "mean" in individual situations. Basically, let's the main quest says "go defeat that ogre that keeps eating people". So I kill the ogre because I'm the hero. BUT there's this one npc that's been getting on my nerves, so I send him into the woods where he gets eaten by wolves. Am I branded as evil now, despite doing good overall.

And then specifically on the topic of sexual stuff, because that's always lotta fun in games: You said you can romance anyone, but I've read there's only a handful of romances, for straight male players there's only 2 female options in the game. So what did you mean. And generally speaking, how sexually mischievous can I be in this game. Can I hit on two women at the same time and talk my way into a threesome. Stuff lik that.

If you can kill off party members, can you recruit new ones. Or is that basically turning the game into ultra hard-mode, lol.

Thanks for your answers. I'm about 10 hours from finishing AC Valhalla, then I'll probably get this game.

Would be a pretty piss-poor game if it didn't.
Besides the general idiocy of your postng:

1.) It's a fantasy-video game. Not the real world. A medieval fantasy-world that punishes me for being transphobic would be utterly ridiculous, lol.[/B]

2.) What I meant was whether or not the game would be punishing for me beng evil OR whether it'd be punishment by individual npcs. Basically: If I'm being racist to one npc or kill one npc, will THE WHOlE WORlD now treat me as "evil" or can I be evil to one npc, but stll be perceived as good to other npcs. That's an important difference.
