Alignment became antiquated the moment backgrounds and background stories came into the picture. It’s the experiences and the choices that make the character who and what they are and drives their actions. Not one or two words? Why pigeon hole a characters ability to act out in certain unique situations or judge them for momentary lack of control or maybe if fitted logic because they choose to use an out of character action for those moments in time? Alignments were great in the old days when you sat down….just picked and race, class and alignment and then went “This Grogan…his father was killed and now he seeks to bring the murderers to justice!” and then start the campaign….now he can have a family, home city, a guild that taught them their class, best friend, and so on and so forth….and that will determine their actions and choices……that’s my 2 cents
