There is nothing WotC or Larian can do to keep players from playing THEIR game THEIR way. So if someone wants to play the game with alignments, they can. Even without the labels, one can identify certain actions as good and others as evil. So, for example, I don't need Larian to tell me Shadowheart is evil. If I as the player find her to be evil, then she is evil. All that matters is whether Larian has set up biased roadblocks within the game to try and prevent me from treating Shadowheart as evil.
