Are evil parties feasible and worth using?

Hey ppl,

So i recently got the EE and it's got me thinking about all kinds of BG things. One thing I have 'NEVER' done is play through the game or BG2 or TB with an evil character or party. From playing through the game a few times before it does seem slightly more swayed to the good or neutral types of characters.

That said, are evil parties feasible, fun and worth using?

I realise i have NEVER used some of the evil npc's for any great length. Edwin, Shar-Teel etc and I may have missed out :(

I guess in reality i'm a neutral kind of person but I also like justice so I normally end up going down a good path minus destroying a few ppl who annoy me etc.

I kinda assume you have to do horrible things as an evil party and that some of the npc's are not the nicest/fun to have in your party?

So yer, what are your opinions on doing an evil playthrough and having an evil party/tips and advice?

As my name gives away i'll probs end up being a brutal half orc like Dorn or possibly an evil sorcerer or fighter/cleric

Thanks
