Yeah that’s what I’d say is the “evil” ending, though your point is correct…I liked that his endings are morally ambiguous either way you choose (unlike Shadowheart, whose endings are pretty clearly “good”/“evil”).

“Why don’t I strap on my strength helmet and squeeze down into a strength cannon and fire off into Strengthland where strength grows on strengthees???”

I will say it’s a bit more complicated than that…

If you can stomach/embrace the evil it opens up some fun/interesting Act 3 stuff. The Durge arc and the “full-send evil” endings for Astarion and Shadynasty specifically were neat to see given how not-evil they can turn out in a “good” playthrough.

I can highly recommend

for the true unhinged, depressing ending.

Make sure to select the “piss yourself” option when the opportunity arises
