I want to be evil. Are we forced to attack... (spoilers)

[solaris32]

Are we forced to attack moonrise towers and Ketheric? I want to be evil and ally with the Absolute if possible, but it feels like the story is going to force me to attack them there. I freed Minthara but haven't confronted the higher ups in the tower yet.

1. Are we forced to attack moonrise towers? No spoilers please.

2. Should I keep Minthara out of my party as I continue to explore the tower, or will that force aggro?

You are forced a la to be the greater evil you need to get rid of those in your way.

There are some weird spots and issues, but overall the game does a pretty good job of rolling with pretty much any direction you decide to take. Give it a shot and see what happens!

if you are evil why the hel you should not to kill Ketheric? dont understand
edit: im at 60% act 2 and i suspect that moonrise tower (little spoiler) is not the "act2 ending event/dungeon"

He's a bad guy and I want to ally with him. Like even though the goblins are relative weaklings they're still evil so I've been helping them out, including freeing Sazza.

I have finished act 2 once. Did not play good with Absolute buddies though. Based on how the story goes, Absolute is a forced antagonist (she is actively trying to enslave you, c'mon). However, the reasoning why you would fight her might wary from "save the world from evil" to "usurp the ultimate power and rule the world" or any other.

By the way, there is a scene where you can talk with Absolute itself while in moonrise towers. It might help with resolving reasoning issues. Maybe it even would be a valid option to ally them.

I just wanna know if I'm forced to kill everyone in the tower. Like I wanted to free Bracus because I figure I can get some evil options with him later. However doing so aggros the whole prison section. I don't want to kill them if I can ally with them, maybe they will show up later. But if I'm forced to kill everyone anyway, might as well take them out.

[Cthulhu]

he's bad? more than mine who freed Sazza and then killed her?

i just discovered that Sazza will reappears at Act3, damn!
you want to ally whit the bad guys imo, not to be real evil or neutral, just my opinion

I'm not asking if I should, I'm asking if I can. Does anyone know if I can resolve act 2 and remain friendly with the cultists and not be forced to attack them?

Couldn't help if the towers are the case, sorries. I've been acting a lot differently for the act 2 to make a reliable judgement. My guess is it depends on will they ally Ketheric as Ketheric itself is doomed.
PS: prison scene sucks, prisoners' acting is rly weird

[Agony_Aunt]

Join the absoloute and become his slave. The (spoiler) would remove their protection from you. You need what (other spoiler) has.

If that route was possible, then there should simply be a cut scene showing you become a slave to the absoloute and game over.

I think he's neutrally evil, and that doesn't suit us, so we need to be chaotically evil and kill him

[Sister of Silence]

Evil path only makes sense as chaotic evil (stupid evil). Which means just let loose your inner psycho and drown the world in blood while twirling your moustache. Yes, it's that bad.

Even his own allies don't want to ally with him. The ultimate evil victory is not to make Ketheric the Dark Lord, it is to make yourself the Dark Lord.

Bottom line is that yes, you have to kill him to progress to Act 3.

Strangely enough, no one gives a damn you're walking around tower with her
