Evil characters, Why do they want a bad reputation? Options

[Sir_Carnifex]

The thought just popped in my head the other day. Why are evil characters always mad (and leaving) when your reputation is really high and oh-so-happy when it is super low? Alright, maybe a psychopathic killer like Korgan likes being known to be evil, but others would work better if they are unknown. A cunning person would take advantage of being well-liked for his own personal gain.

It is for this reason that I am actually thinking of having Halbo get upset if the reputation drops too low. After all, his job only gets harder if people are aware of him, right? On the same note, he doesn't care if the reputation is high because it makes his targets that much more unsuspecting.

So this goes against the standard Bioware character construction, but I think it suits Halbo better. Perhaps if someone can give me other reasons not to change the status quo, I won't make these changes. Right now, though, I'm leaning heavily towards my idea.
