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

I think Pathfinder was always going to feel 'more D&D' to veterans of the game, simply because of how and why it was developed (i.e. as 'D&D 3.75'). While D&D 3e certainly represented a huge change from 2e, I the edition that shall not be named twisted and broke the lineage even more. Hence, 5e has some pretty significant rifts between it and what some still think (maybe subconsciously) of as the 'real' D&D.

Even as an often-times reluctant players of D&D (sometimes you just need to play the game in front of you or what your friends want to play), I still find myself looking back to earlier editions when interpreting rules and situations. I'm not saying they were better, just that their mechanics are still coming to mind when a situation arises in game.
