I agree with you, in the sense that you never could play an 'evil Karithia' unless you were the biggest badass to ever play the game, and maybe not even then. Other evils just wouldn't put up with your #### unless the benefits of having you as a friend somehow that outweighed the pain of it.

That being said, I don't think Karithia set out to do that on purpose, exactly. Set out to make a character that was kind of a ####, definitely, but picked good to exploit that angle... that I don't see.

To keep this in the realm of on topic, I don't think Marbeliel set out to do that, either.
