Hey you know that you can make Sarevok's alignment go from Chaotic Evil to Chaotic Good and if you Install the Longer Road, you can eventually get Irenicus to Become Neutral and then Good.

Hehe, what about a mod in which we can start out with a good character but slowly turn them to the DarkSide? :devil:

Maybe the PC could slowly wittle away Imoen's virtues and turn her into a bloodthirsty monster? Just a thought.

Unless I am mistaken, you can change Imoen's alignment though the Imoen romace mod.

Never had a taste for turning good to evil myself, but I am sure there would be a market for it.

Assuming it was well written. It would be a nice option for evil players.

I certainly like this idea - I was always rather dissapointed that Anomen could only descend to chaotic neutral... thought it would be rather nice to convert him to a cleric of Bane or something.

Hehe, now that'd be a twist. I think Bane was still dead at the time though <_<

Just an idea. Not saying that even I'd like to play it. But there's always a good storyline of a Paladin turning bad. Just been used way to much.

interesting idea, although to change ones personality it'd take a life changing event, ie anakin turning to darth vader (although pretty lamely done in the movie, really) its not something that one should be able to turn on and off.

I agree. If this were well done, it'd be a very good mod. Although I must admit I'm not too inclined to the whole good-turning-bad thing, I'm pretty sure there'd be an audience willing.

Through lightning, travel shadow,
Through hell and all above,
Surviving sword and arrow,
Bound stronger by the love

***

And in the end a witness,
To where the death has lain,
Silent through the sorrow,
Where innocents lie slain

Both Chrysta and Khadion allow the player to influence the NPC's alignment :).

Now, I wonder: should a woman break a man, so he'd become her marionette, would his alignment change? And, if yes, how? From Lawful to Chaotic? To Neutral?

I think in a lot of cases alignment changing NPCs are something of a fad. Setting aside Bioware's own Really Bad Handling of Sarevok, I get the impression that a lot of "alignment change" potential derives from the notion that if the PC can influence the NPC then that must be real roleplaying! While I don't deny that it may be appropriate to some characters, I suggest that it's quite possible to build depth into an NPC without thinking "right, we need some people who change alignment!"

On the other hand, if I haven't seen a brilliantly done alignment change before, it doesn't mean it is impossible to get away with one. Not that it is something I'm particularly interested in doing, but still, should the story demand it, I would.
