Everway seems to be very well suited for 2 people.

comment What are some of the major challenges in playing an Evil Character?
Good and evil characters can coexist. Good and evil don't have to be played to extremes, and they can all be motivated by the same thing and unite against it. In dark times, the enemy of my enemy IS my friend.

comment What are some of the major challenges in playing an Evil Character?
Motivation can be a problem, but one that can be solved through some clever, albeit twisted, thinking. For example, you may be interested in saving the town from an impending attack, because you know that there will be far more misery in the world if the townsfolk continue living. If these people are just killed, their potential to create and spread misery will be removed. The average person is very, very good at making himself and others miserable.

comment How to communicate to the players that an encounter can be solved also through diplomacy?
You can also have an NPC join the party for a while, and after a few encounters, he can become disgusted with the party's behavior. "Why is your first reaction to draw your blade?" This is pretty direct, but can help if your players are still having trouble grasping the concept. And, worst case scenario, you can just say, "Guys... You CAN try talking once in a while."
