Is corrupting your party/romance possible?
Greetings! I am a corruption fetishist (actually made a career out of it), and I love, just love, taking good characters and turning them evil. I have heard about this game, and wondered before I buy it, can I make choices throughout the story and seduce/corrupt the party I am with. Bonus points if I can become a lich or mindflayer and enslave them all, but even if I have to stay a worthless mortal, can I at least have the joy of filling my party with goody good fools, and eventually aligning them all to any version of evil alignment? Or did they skimp and make it where you pretty much have cookie cutter things for less dialogue, and so you have your "good" and "bad" and need to play "good" if you want to romance or have a party with lame heroes or choose evil companions/relationships if you want to play the right way and be evil?

Each character has a good or bad ending to their character arcs so yes. La'zael becomes my favorite character when she turns good, she just turns into Worf. Though I don't recommend some of the bad endings where they are evil, even though you say you might like it, some of them are kinda ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up. But I only got the full good endings for all of my characters so idk

Shadowheart/Astarion both have "good" and "evil" paths on their stories. Gale can be lead towards temptation easily enough. Wyll/Karlach/Halsin are "good" only (well halsin is neutral technically) Jaheira/Minsc again are GOOD only but will actually try to kill you on certain evil paths :P

Hmm, sounds good enough, thanks for the names. That way I know who to take and who to be ready to slaughter for foolish heroism.
You can turn your allies from their nature from what I have seen if you get them to really like you. Altough dark urge probably not the best first playthru is for sure a good playthru if you like darker themes and stories. It's also heavily linked to BG1 and 2 lore if you enjoyed those ever.

However it's hard to play pure evil from the start and corrupt the really good guys cuz you probably won't have thay level of trust with them. It kinda requires an early game neutral approach to do so.

Dark Urge is the best first playthrough, he was mine lol. I went full good guy and that was by far the best origin in the entire game. He's literally the main character.

Oh, I make erotic adult corruption games, I even sell one on Steam (I am sure I cannot link it here, but you can see the link in my profile). I literally make a living making games where you see good things become evil.
Yes, but giving further details is heavy on the spoilers.
Basically, each companion has two paths. A path to their destiny, and a path reverse of their destiny. Tav can influence either direction. Often, these paths are split between a "good" and "evil" route.

I'll take any and all spoilers. Does not matter to me at all. Any info that can help me get a nice band of ladies together and then corrupt every one of them throughout the game.

If you wanna "corrupt" as many as possible, you won't be able to romance them all. Start by not helping the druids Grove or fully help if you must. 3 ladies wpuld ne hard I'm not entirely sure thats possible. But karlach gale and wyll are good people shadowheart is to in the end. The most corrupt ending is for sure dark urge. I'd highly reccomend the easy romance with leazel as you'll be given a choice and you don't want that to be people you are trying this with. If you attack the Grove the good guys leave.

Help them with their stories the best you can karlach in particular requires you help the Grove you can skip her and go shadowheart wyll gale. (Do this if you play dark urge lol) the tieflings are doomed if you play dark urge no way around it. Astarion is a solid story to attempt this on, then as you gain their trust you'll still want to choose dialog they agree with but plot wise in the main quest choose the evil stuff.

Until you gain their trust though this is a hard thing to do and I'm not sure how possible it is down certain paths

Thanks! Are there any ways to gain mind control powers and turn your companions into slaves? Or maybe become a lich, and then turn them all, "beckoning death" style, so they all just do as you command without any freedom or autonomy? That would be equally as hot.

Weird lol but no not as far as I know the devs try not to let you take away agency but you can twist it to suit you if you put in the effort.
