Evil should be about betrayals for the sake of personal gain, willingness to use any means necessary to accomplish one's goal, sacrificing friends and allies to save your own skin. Instead, we usually get to choose the path of Ted Bundy or John Wayne Gacy. Evil imho needs to be more intelligent.
While not perfect KOTOR two was more morally ambigious than most games, the old women didn't care about good or evil, same thing to her. You would still be feeding on them by doing good deeds as it makes you stronger but weakens the people you help, so the good choice was still a selfish one.
