I actually don't find him that irritating, after all it can be resolved in under 3 minutes. Having someone like Tiax in our party, though... In fact, almost all evil characters in the original release were so laughably gratingly evil I couldn't even bring myself to make a playthrough with an evil party until the enhanced edition brough some more mentally stable and actually useful evil characters. |
It's quite over-the-top at times, I agree. In keeping with typical writing of the time. I usually have problems with evil playthroughs of RPGs since it's evil for evil's sake, and not really driven by any reason or proper motivation, in most cases. It's perfectly possible to write evil characters who are still driven by, at last subjectively, reasonable motivations and goals.
