Which companions would stay for a evil absolute embracing run?

[Grimreaper]

i could only see Astarion and Minthara actually staying in a run where i always make the decisions that embrace the absolute. Would i have to have a hireling if i wanted a forth party member?

[heh]

Astarion, Lae'zel, Minthara, Shadowheart all put up with a pure evil playthrough. Haven't tested the other early ones since I ended up killing them in said evil playthrough. You definitely can't get Jaheira or Minsc.

Wyll and karlach are definitely good people. Gale is usually good aligned too.
Haslin will tolerate some stuff but it's usually for good parties too, since you can't have him wirh minthara.

i don't see how lae'zel would stay if i embrace the Absolute, it requires me to accept and want to keep the tadpole which is hard against. and i dont see how Shadowheart could stay as it would requires me to give up the artifact that she was told to take by her goddess and it actively fights the against absolute

It depends on the evil you commit

Lae'zel loves making the lesser races suffer. They are inferior. But if you go on a Githyanki murder rampage because "evil reasons" then Lae'zel is going to eat you.

Gale and Shadowheart can survive a lot with speech checks. But I don't know how far you can push that if you start butchering animals.

Karlach, Wyll, and Halsin don't stand a chance as soon as you side with Goblins.

If you get high enough approval with these two, do their quests, and they will do anything you ask them to. Both of them are extremely submissive and pretty stupid, so it makes sense.
