Does it impact the story much if you choose evil?

I'm talking about all the way through to BG2. I know ultimately it's supposed to be a story about good overcoming evil. Without giving any specific spoilers away for obvious reasons, generally speaking will the story seem weird in places or forced if you choose say a fallen pali over a normal pali and play more loose and not bound by this being goody goody thing.

I want to do my first playthrough all the way through BG2 to the end but want it to be as fun as possible and so far playing the vanilla goody goody player is starting to feel a bit...drab. I don't want to get to half way through BG2 and think...jeez I can't take this anymore and quit..if it's so dull. If I start a new game playing fallen pali will it be more enjoyable or will I be scratching my head and think "this story doesn't make sense"...?

I also want to put some mods in which will improve the experience, this will give me an esxcuse

Evil is fun ! Do it ! : D

Mostly BG1 has very few to little interactions of evil choices, one I can think of is flooding the mines while the miners are still inside.

BG2 has more choices, albeit not so much, on evil route, it’s all mostly normal stuff on the quests until you get to the finishing line of the few quests that gives you choices to “pursue” other choices.

My problem with moral choices is they either "I will be a decent person and help solve quests", or, "I will purposely mess with a spell to make this completely innocent person explode".

Maybe I want to be a good person but play a no-nonsense jackass.
Maybe I want to be "evil" but in a way that makes sense, like I'm not going to explode a characters spine unless they directly got in my way or didn't heed my warning.

I know I'm asking for too much but I don't think a game has pulled off being a bad/evil character right. Someone said Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous pulls off being an evil Lich and how people react to you while still being your followers.

In Tyranny it was really pretty good to play an evil Character.

It would actually be fun to play an evil character IF you could do something cool like that.
All the evil choices usually start as a fetch quest and the evil deed is just keeping the items for oneself.
