The issue for me is that Good and Evil aren't just philosophical concepts in the Forgotten Realms. They are actual planar metaphysical powers that construct reality.
Good, Evil, Law, and Chaos aren't just ideas. So if Wizards is choosing to eschew these concepts, then this game isn't going to feel like a Forgotten Realms title.
Are Law and Chaos metaphysical forces in the FR cosmology? Good and Evil are in the form of positive and negative energy, but I wasn’t aware of an equivalent set of forces for Law and Chaos. I thought there were only 6 forces: positive, negative, and the 4 elements.
P
Positive and Negative Energy aren't tied to good or evil, they are tied to life and death, creation and destruction, and undeath.
The Good is represented by the powers of the Upper Planes, evil by the powers lower planes, chaos by Limbo, order mechanus.
