What I can’t stand is the chaotic stupid choices being your only option for evil. Offer an evil route but make it more interesting than playing a character with poor impulse control and access to infinite puppies.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Cough cough Baldur's Gate 3... You either agree to help or aggro everyone.
If you've never tried it, the Wasteland series does evil very well. The game lets you go murder hobo, but that's not the actual evil route. The evil route is very interesting, and while the options are morally grey there's a clear good and bad choice
This is why I can't do a renegade run in Mass Effect
The problem with renegade, at least in 1, is it mostly just means racist. Even if I want to enjoy being bad/evil, it doesn't feel cool being racist
Mass Effect series choosing renegade options for Commander Shepard will sort them out. Everyone still likes you, they just think you're a total fucking jerk. The majority of it is social choices and being a total fucking jerk to galactic arseholes balances it out.
"Hey, that's Shepard! Didn't they brutally kill that girl that showed remorse for betraying us?"
"Yeah, but he also told the council to fuck off and saved the galaxy."
"Oh, that's cool."

I thought renegade was one of the coolest options. Instead of plain cartoonishly evil, you were just a bad boy douche bag lmao
