[Raumamble]

If you want evil end there you go. If you want good ending go ahead.

Its more of a benevolent sort of evil, like domination instead of just pure evil.

[Cupender]

Evil play-through is pure merciless evil, only if you like the short term benefits rather than long-term praise and stretched rewards. Such as a quick jump of brown minion life-force by stealing sprees food rather than the alternative forever boost of sheep in the first area of Spree. People won't like you and elves will try to attack you on sight.

Good play-through is more about being an anti-hero with dominant tendencies in-game but with good intentions at heart. People will treat you like a hero.

Ultimately the gameplay differences are quite minimal. Late game, the spells are different depending on your Corruption level.

The tier 3 fire spell goes from affecting all units(evil) and affecting only hostiles(good). I'm not sure which does more damage, so I'd call it even since if you're evil, you probably don't care about the casualties caught in the crossfire.

The tier 3 domination spell either causes enemies to turn on one another(evil) or causes them to simply stop attacking(good). Since you're probably going to just kill them all anyway, I'd say Evil is better since it speeds up the process.

The Tier 3 shield spell either does a lot of damage to enemies who attack you(evil) or completely protects you from damage(good). If you really need the shield spell, I'm going to assume you need it to protect you instead of deal damage, so I would lean towards Good, but it's situational.

The Anger Tier 3 goes from Legion of Terror(evil) which cause your minions to do a bunch more damage and scare enemies, to Legion of Honor(good) which do a bunch of damage without harming peaceful NPCs. Just like with the fire spell, I'm guessing you don't care about casualties, so I think the Evil version is slightly better for the fear effect.

The other factor to consider is how much easier the good vs evil choices are. There are some times that you'll find it simply more convenient to choose good instead of evil, and other times where you'll be evil accidentally(Red Minions don't fully appreciate the danger of wildfires). My first playthrough was mostly good, but I made a few selfish choices along the way depending on my mood(After all I did for those fat peasants... they betray me?). If you want all four tier 3 spells, you should probably stick to one or the other, though. I tried splitting the difference once, and the result was somewhat lackluster without the Tier 3 fire spell which I badly could have used.

In short, you can very easily balance knowing what the player needs, and that is, with increased corruption, you can get certain spells and later lower it and get others without debuffs from high corruption, and since all the last spells are in the golden hills, it is very simple. As for example, you can walk to the citadel of the heavenly abode and score on it, collecting everything we need, kill Oberon and go for a walk on the golden hills (although there are some gates may be closed, due to the fact that Goldo went to the wedding of William) collecting spells along the way (but you need to understand that you need to have corruption above a certain indicator (either 60 or 70 percent (if you get confused, it is easy to get stuffed))) collect the necessary spells and go to the heavenly abode, kill William and choose a Rose instead of Velvet, so the corruption will fall by 10 points and the rest of the spells will be "good".

The good ending is a non canon ending, the bad ending is the real ending, you know that if you play overlord 2, so go ahead and be evil.

Um, actually...
I'm pretty damn sure the canon ending is to make good decisions in several crucial moments. The very fact that there are elves in Overlord 2 is one particularly glaring piece of evidence. Also, Rose is the canonical mother of the Fourth Overlord(the unofficial title of the Overlord 2 MC).

[Blood & Thunder]

If you are evil you end up like the villains you fight. Think of that. That's why I prefer the good ending.

[Raumamble]

Very good.

More of a pragmatic version of being evil. Basically, the Overlord becomes a beloved ruler rather than a feared and hated tyrant.

[sparta]

your third tier fire spell is different and you get cool spikes on your back if your evil and get a mission where you kidnap a towns women

[Menkerot]

Ending changes but everything else is cosmetic and also moral.

Nope cannon edning is mostly good one > you save elves, you remain faithfull to Rose, Elves have their Mother Godes statuete.
What reimains in question is did you suppres Spree & looted all houses, burn down Growe, kept food, killed elves (their hostily can be explained due TH exploding & subsequent plague) and killed traitors.

[Nosferotica]

You get some "cooler" upgrades being evil, and they are expensive as crap but you'll have plenty of gold.

Aside from that I think the "good" route is better, because Rose offers upgrades to the brown and blue minions, and they are the greatest combo if you ask me.

When brown are fully tooled up, they're top-notch fighters and the blue will resurrect any fallen minions unless they were completely obliterated.
