On a side note, I always pictured 'overlord' as a good guy, or anti-hero XD Oh sure, Gnarl always plays up the evil monster angle, but what is the overlord always 'doing'? Beating down worse evils that make his rule look particularly welcoming by comparison. Fallen heroes tormenting those they once saved? an uncompromising empire trying to make a god out of the stolen essence of magical creatures?

Yeah, Gnarl can play it up all he likes XD but overlord has a remarkably tendency to do 'good things' even when he's being 'evil' XD

just my 2-cents >3> heehee

Please, the Overlord is completely evil! He is the pure force of evil to balance out the good in the entire world! The good only turns bad as there is no evil force to battle against. Also, the good guys turned evil mainly from the previous Overlord who corrupted them overtime, remember? Also, for Overlord 2. Don't you know? The Overlord destroyed every sanctuary for the good magical beings, just to benefit himself. And yet again, the good turned evil after Rose had stupidly tried to change things to make good rule the world instead of evil. But there always has to be balance in the world, and "EVIL ALWAYS FINDS A WAY!" 

Edit: Also, the endings show that the Overlord can be quite evil. He likes himself dictatorships and slaves! Also, just sharing my opinions about the Overlord, not trying to start an argument with you. I just like seeing the Overlord as a bad guy.
