Bhaal: makes zero sense but play a huge role in BG.

[Abisha]

like stated it makes a huge part of the series but the god in overall makes absolute no sense.
a "god" of murder so if you murder enough say the whole world it will implode and the god no longer exist because nobody left to murder?.

overall those type of gods should never exist in the universe
evil gods that makes sense
Talos, Shar, Lolth

makes absolute no sense even not for a madman, only people that's complete insane and watched to long into the void.
Bhaal, Beshada, Loviatar

Evil doesn't have to rational. Frequently, it isn't.

[Azunai]

There were real world civilizations that sacrificed tens of thousands of people per year to their bloodthirsty gods. The evil gods in dnd are harmless compared to reality.

[Sterling]

Shar is all about nihilistic entropy, so she also has zero sense by your rationale, since her aim is to pretty much turn the world into nothingness including her worshipers.
As the person above mentioned, evil on a divine scale does not need a rationale.

[Bloodwest]

I think you misunderstood Bhaal. If Bhaal was interested in world to implode for good, he would've made Orin to set Netherbrain free. It seems he just wants to kill stuff, for carnage to happen. Like a hunter who hunts for sport.

Bhaal is more akin to the god of the concept of murder then merely murder itself.

To be specific violence and ritualistic killing.

Only the Kua-toa bring their god's into existence by believing in them.

Bhaal is an actual living, well unliving entity that can be worshiped.

Aztec ain't so strange they believe that Tlaloc would request children to cry so the tears would wet the earth.

blood offering of humans are rare cause. and it makes more sense then Bhaal

Yep, worth mentioning that Bhaal is not like Wh40k Khorne and does not get off just any act of killing. From what I gather he is more after ritualized murder. Even the war Sarevok was trying to orchestrate in BG1 was supposed to be a ritual of sorts.

many philosophers believe in absolute entropy. it ain't so strange if you understand reason behind it.

Yeah, good thinking. Like look at Sarevok's reaction when you literally kill his granddaughter, he's not even mad, he gets thrilled to fight an extemely powerful opponent and you don't really have an option to stop him from initiating fight at that point.

What do you mean there will be no one left? There will be his followers who will face each other in a decisive battle

if so then the game portrait Bhaal wrong.
i can understand a "hunting god" like predator for example

Well hunter in the sense that it needs to be intelligent life.

That can comprehend it's own suffering.

How does it portray him wrong when the whole Bhaal plot in Act 3 is about solving the grand ritual composed of killing specific victims, lol?:)

[Hyena]

Talos an evil god? Sounds like Thalmor propaganda to me.

That would be Malar.
