And it's so easy when you're evil ...?

The thing about playing out your Dragon Age character the evil way is: it's not really fun, at least not for me. I thought it would be great to piss Alistair off, bully everyone around and generally be an asshole, but. It's just ... not.
For one thing, I am too much of a goody two-shoes, so pissed off characters make me nearly physically uncomfortable (yeah I know it's just a game, but - aaaah, I cannot bear it). Another thing is that I am a crazy perfectionist when it comes to computer games and character disapproval annoys the hell out of me because IT'S RUINING MY PERFECT GAMEPLAY with perfect results and each and every quest solved.
Besides, I feel like you're missing out on a lot of quests (ergo: experience points) and there's no real (evil) compensation for them. (Example: if you refuse to help out the people in Redcliffe, you'll miss out on an entire area with quests and battles.) MEH. Being evil isn't always that easy, it seems. Or is it just me?

Don't worry, I don't like taking the evil rout either- I always feel really bad when I'm mean to characters xD

Although I gave my one character the 'cocky' voice, and he gave ME a lot of smack talk.

DA's PC voice options frequently make me think, 'dude shut up.'

I was fine with him for a bit, but I went into my iniventory to make a healing potion, and when I was done my character said:

'You think we wouldn't just be standing here doing nothing, but noooo'

I wish there was a 'smack your character' option at times...

I don't know ... I think I still like doing them, I just don't like the repercussions of them. Like, letting the little girl in Shale's town getting possessed? Fine. But getting -15 disapproval by Leliana? Not so much fun. D:

And I agree on the voices. They can be horrible (the German synchro of some is even worse!).
