Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Does 5E not have characters select alignment?

We have written alignments on our character sheets, but we really don't use them. Our Paladin is played as (slightly dopey) LG (the player, like me, is Old School), our Fighter is almost certainly CN or CE, I am CE (although I have written N on the sheet - Persec, you know), and I think the Cleric is NG or CG. The others are probably too new to D&D to have bothered thinking too much about their alignments so they could be anything.

I don't recall that alignment has been any sort of issue in the game so far (we're 10th level), and long may it stay that way.
