It’s nice to see a good chunk of people going down the evil road. The game does an excellent job in providing gameplay and roleplay rewards for these choices. I’m loving my playthrough so far and I’m always surprised by how many small interactions are there for any possible dialogue or action.
As for the class, me and a couple of friends also chose a paladin for the first character, but switched after act 1. Now I’m playing an evil warlock and holy moly I’m having so much fun.
This. Plus as a subjective thing: I personally remember stuff more easily when I write them down compared to typing. Also my written notes mix bullet points, regular writing, arrows and connections, without having to “switch mode” or install plugins.
I still use note-taking apps, sometimes as primary, sometimes as secondary tool.
