I doubt they’ll dump the themes; it seems to me like they’re just backgrounding the specific labels. Heck, we’re starting in the middle of a Blood War battlefield, which is—coincidentally—probably the most prominent Law versus Chaos conflicts in the lore.
(Although in the Forgotten Realms, specifically, your afterlife is determined solely by your patron god and how well you served them. While some lore suggests that souls who didn’t worship a god are personally judged by the current god of the dead, most lore either strongly implies or outright states that they all end up as part of the Wall of the Faithless, there to slowly dissolve into nonexistence. It’s kind of messed up when you think about it.)
Ah, I thought people just automatically go to whichever plane their personality and self-conduct was most akin to (e.g. CN people end up in Limbo, while LE ones go straight to the Nine Hells). Perhaps I got that mixed up with Planescape Torment
At any rate, I hope the themes remain. And tbh I also hope we see more characters who very clearly fit one alignment when it makes sense (e.g. Lae'zel - everything we've seen of her up to this point screamed 'lawful evil', as a githyanki should). I find those to be quite underappreciated these days, Pathfinder Kingmaker was full of such characters, and I really enjoyed most of them. I haven't played the older Larian games, only DOS and DOS2, but from what I've seen they're quite reluctant to write genuinely 'good' characters, as if such people didn't exist.
