Question for you vets who have played "evil" characters, how did you find it? I am thinking of replaying through as an evil vampire/warrior-mage dark brotherhood member and all-round wicked fellow in the future, right about when I get a better computer so I can enjoy the actual graphics also.

Since I have not been playing Skyrim since early September.. I am wondering if anyone knows, of any newly released mods out there which I might not yet know of.

"Newly" as in "since early September"? ~2000. Of varying quality, of course. Just look in the latest files on the Nexus.

Ah, I forgot to include 'Interesting' in there somewhere.
As in, any interesting mods which might make the game.. live longer or so.
Or maybe even a mod which adds stuff to the leveled lists.

You can't actually do anything inherently evil in this game.

You can do a lot of sadistic or sociopathic things, but being evil is outside its scope.

Killing a child's parents and/or dog while he/she watches?
That's pretty evil in my opinion.

... How, exactly, do you define evil?

[Putnam]

Personal gain is an important part of evil, usually, and this game don't have none of that in its evil. Kinda like Fallout 3. Why do you poison the entire capital wasteland? Because you're EEEEEEVIIIIIIIILLLLLLL.

[Xantalos]

You sure? When I kill children I get soul in my black soul gems which I use to make better enchantments to kill more children.

[Sordid]

I just adopted that beggar girl in Whiterun.
I feel so goood...

That's going to last precisely until you have adopted two kids and have run into a third, at which point you realize the game arbitrarily doesn't allow you to adopt any more, so this one's going to have to keep sleeping in the street.

Eh, Saturday-morning cartoon evil is still evil, albeit not of a particularly interesting variety.  It's pointless and flat, but still rather evil. 
...
Actually, if I ever did an evil run in a Bethesda game, I would probably have to mod in a Snidely Whiplash outfit and mustache.

It's part of the DLC and will happen on a percentage basis each time you kill a dragon until certain events are taken care of.

Well, it's supposed to. I've killed ~10 dragons so far with all DLC enabled and not once have I had a soul get stolen from me. Then again, I had a "recommended" script improvement mod installed that seems to have screwed up several scripts (and rendered the drunken romp quest unfinishable until I disabled it). It could just be that I haven't killed a dragon since disabling it.

[Putnam]

Miraak's a dick.

But the reward for killing him is so worth it.

[Putnam]

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I believe it's all the ones he stole from you plus 6.

On evil:

Are we talking lawful, chaotic or neutral?

[WillowLuman]

DB is pretty evil, no matter what pretentious goals they may claim ("a society of like-minded people" is not a justification for murder-for-hire, or anything really). Going around taking people out for infamy and glory could count as personal gain, though. And Astrid certainly wants power.

There's plenty of selfish options you can take at the cost of other people, too. Black Soul gems are, to put it lightly, fairly questionable as well.

[Ultimuh]

Speaking of black soul gems..
Enchanting requires a soul, right?
If so, would the weapons/armor which has been enchanted, be alive somehow?
Imagine running around with a sword, which talks to you.
