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

The alignment system is not necessary to having clear cut villains and heroes.

And the alignment system does not prevent a shades of grey story, since "shades of grey" doesn't works fine with characters who have clear cut moral compasses...it actually plays at better in most cases to have characters with clear-cut moral compasses in a shades of grey story.
