it does and you get to pick the creature type - all those creature types still have alignments too, so alignment isnt as nonexistent as ppl may think - but i agree that alignment isnt as big a character feature as previous dnd editions, more just flavor for your characters roleplay. that said i think having some alignment specific tags, as long as they didnt constrain the player (ie you have x alignment so you must take the x story path) would be a neat feature to have, as i think tag variance among players/playthroughs is what would really make each bg3 experience different.

That said, I'd still rather have alignment implemented than not.
