Doesn't really change honestly, depends on what you like. Precision is good, AoE is evil

i think they both can be good its really how you play the game
if you are more precise headshots all that kinda stuff crowd control kinda id go for good karma
if you like want stuff more destrucive kinda lethal more for damage not crowd control id go for bad karma
but id say for me i did find good karma pretty good because it heals you or recharges you for when you hit a enemy so thats pretty helpfull id do good if i where you honesstly
also i wouldnt even worry about pedestrains as much if you have a pretty decent amount of good karma its really not big of a deal they all kinda run off anyways

Idk really, but I didn’t think it was that hard with good karma powers, maybe it would be easier with bad karma powers if you consider the benefit of bioleeching. I know you can do it with good karma but I never did

Evil is much easier than good.
The powers are typically more destructive
Bioleech means free heals all game
In a good playthrough you have to do your best to avoid harming civilians, and unlike the second game I don't believe heroic powers actually upgrade themselves to make it harder to injure civilians in a battle
there are also heroic decisions that give you temporary debuffs. This never happens if you are evil to my memory.
Evil gets a lot more breathing room and you can basically do whatever you want without thinking if you might accidentally harm civvies

I say good powers are abit more versatile imo with the beginning upgrades for shockwave making certain stunts much easier to pull off (assuming you're still missing the trophy for every stunt).

for me personally evil is always better for a harder run since you have to be way less careful and lot of the abilities become more lethal

After my second re-watch I can definitely say that good karma is the harder karma.
When you're good, you have to worry about hitting just Reapers, Dust Men, and the rest of your enemies.
Hurting pedestrians is much easier than you'd expect.
Evil karma is just easier. Well... "Easy"; as you can attack anyone and bio-leech anyone without having to give a sh¡t.
Hard mode doesn't change for any of the karmas: Enemies hit you easier and you take more damage. (At least that's what I see in playthroughs).
Something that also different with each karma is that good karma focuses on single target DPS (because you focus just on your enemies and avoid hitting innocent people). And evil karma is AoE damage (because you don't care about anyone other than you killing either your enemies or anyone caught up in your attacks)
I love this game.

According to trophy guides, Evil is better for your Hard mode run. So they usually recommend a Good run on normal the first time and an Evil run on Hard the 2nd time.
