Alright, so if I were to play as an evil character, mass-murdering villagers, stealing items, slaying rulers etc. Would I get respected by evil NPCS such as Kobold groups, necromancers, etc.?

I haven't done extensive testing on this, but I've noticed in legends mode that you can become a hero in the eyes of a goblin civ, but then it seems to immediately flip you back to being an enemy as if it's like oh yay he killed that guy but oh wait he's still a dwarf and we're still gits. I know from experience that necromancers will attack you no matter how evil you are, even if you are a necromancer, but that might have something to do with killing necromancers to learn the secrets.

Well, I once became a notorious villain and slayed tons of leaders, when I came across a Mancer mansion (Necro-tower ) They didn't attack me and I was able to talk and receive quests from them.

Were you a vampire/necro/werebeast? What species? Modded or not?

Somehow I don't believe that you can get friendly with normally-evil factions by killing the opposite faction, at least in current release. Necromancers aren't even entities, right? They are just individual guys in the tower with no real policy with outside world.

In my experience, evil groups will generally  be friendly or at least neutral to you, if all of these conditions are met:
 
- you are a hero in their eyes
- you are not an enemy of them
- you are not or no longer a member of any other entity

You can become friendly with Goblins, even talk to them, get quests from them, and have them join you as companions. But if you move/attack in their direction when they're next to you, they won't move aside, they'll be treated as enemies with you attacking them, and then it's on. So I don't recommend them as companions, it gets annoying real quick if you're in a tunnel or whatever. I don't know if it can happen from attacking human civs, but killing beasts, night trolls, megabeasts etc. is seen as a good thing by gobbos.

Heh heh.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I created a swordsman named Inigo Monkloyal, the closest I could get to "Montoya". (Heh heh, princess bride reference.)

SO ANYWAY, he took a turn away from my expectations when he almost died fighting a vampire (for the record, he did it almost by himself) and then licked its blood off to avoid starvation.

So, one day, I'm in a room alone getting a drink from some upper class nobles when my moron companion barges in.

"HEY, HAO YA DOON-- WAT UR A VAMPIR OK U GOTTA DI NAO."

So, all my human companions get all ticked off at me for getting a quick sip from the king of the country, and force me to run away. However, my elf companions don't care, either because it wasn't their king, they didn't see it and thus believe it, or both.

So, la dee da, I go running around, and I decide to face a glorious death imitating Indiana Jones by acting out the new greatest movie ever, "INIGO MONKLOYAL AND THE RAIDERS OF THE LADY'S TOMB".

So, I find the mummy's tomb, and she kills off my companions and raises them from the dead. All the while, I'm standing there looking for PHAT LEWT hoping I can get out semi-alive. Then, I noticed that all three elves had died and were standing around transformed into capital Spanish N's.

I hit "K" and talk to the mummy, who is glad to tell me when she died, who she was related to, and she's not in the mood to come on my undead adventures with me.

TLDR;

I made a dude, who became a vampire and was then fine with talking to the undead.

So yeah, you can at least be friendly with cults of undeath.

Necromancers have the OPPOSED_TO_LIFE tag meaning they are automatically hostile to all living creatures. They are neutral to other undead however.

@Tawarochir: I think the hoomies were just upset that you supped a bit of their King.  Elves actually LIKE nomming their foes, which is why they were chill with you doing all that.  Also they're creepy and weird, and can't learn the secrets of life and death, so they might not even realize that you're any different.
