Our characters are evil, main quest proves it.

Saving a friend over somebody who held our other friends hostage for their gain is being evil? lol. Yes while Gaius had good intentions, the same as us mind you, the Garlean's way to execute it was vastly different. They not only wanted to destroy the primals, they wanted to RULE over us as well (ref. cutscene where the GC leaders are discussing the matter at hand.) Therefore, we aren't the evil ones


Going back on what I said, a thought occurred to me. Gaius was probably using the excuse of destroying the primals (and holding the scions hostage) as an excuse to get us to bow down to them
