it depends on the evil.

too often it's just "okay so you're a sociopath/violent berserker/just plain Stupid Evil" as opposed to like...some kind of plan or goal?

Like the options -always- boil out to "Do the morally correct thing" or "Be an ass for no particular reason or gain" and it's always a struggle to play the second route
This is also a factor. Like I can think of some times it's done well even if it's fucked up.in wasteland 3, there's a lady looking for her slave that ran away. You find the slave, and the woman tells you that if you turn the slave over, she can give you the codes to unlock the doors further down in your base because she was the original owner of the base.

If you turn the slave over, you get endgame weapons while still in the early to mid game. If you protect the slave, you get a warm and fuzzy feeling and a small bit of rep that barely helps you.

That's how good and evil choices should feel. Doing the right thing doesn't net you the best results always.

Problem is that it always feels like evil is slapped on for the sake of it, so it generally ends up being "just kill this guy."
