The lack of companions is what killed my full-Evil run. Those three are all you can get, and you're walking on thin ice with two of them. Even Minthara thinks you've gone too far, and she's fully down with slaughtering innocents for personal gain. So you lose a full 2/3rds of the available companions, with the only replacements being hirelings with no benefit to the story. It's too late now, but I'd liked to have seen replacement companions for evil characters, you lose out on so much doing this run that it feels like the game is pigeonholing you into a certain playstyle.
I never felt like it was pigeon holing personally. What reasonable person would ever want to be around the Tav that was acting that evil in the first place? Always made sense to me that your character just shoves people further and further away.
Still would've been cool to have one or two characters that are basically evil alignment and if you want them in your party you essentially have to scare off another or play things just right for an ultra rare achievement.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying, of course the good-aligned characters would leave, it would have been cool to have some alternate evil characters with stories and such to match.
