y no alignment? [unless your a cleric?? and i cant be an evil elven cleric of the archeart that pulls some Altmer elder scrolls inspiration?], n
I have read somewhere that WotC wanted Larian to abandon the alignment system for this game. Strange
not really, WOTC's been moving away from alignment for awhile now, 4th edition tried to (nonsensicly) shave off several alignments, and while 5E keeps alignments it really feels like something just there to appease old time fans given absolutely nothing in the game triggers off alignment anymore (detect evil, smite evil etc now are about he subtype not the alignment)
dont those subtypes have alignments tho? i think you should play/dm whatever works for your group, but i think the inclusion of selecting an alignment (and being unaligned) in 5e isnt in itself a bad game system, its just how/if you use it as part of your gane, and relating back to bg3 i think it would only work to improve the game if alignment was more fleshed out as i think only clerics (and i would assume paladins at the minimum on launch) really have any related alignment gameplay mechanics so far in ea? idk, i may have missed that part of the ea content.
i like alignments as i feel it gives players more character options and story ideas, and the more player agency the better imo, but i also dont know if 30 counts as being an old time fan so i could be in the minority here
