Which just reduces ALL actions to meaningless sameness. In this kind of a framework, there is zero point or value to role-playing. All of this, including the discussion of Shar's nature, may be subjective to you. But they are not subjective at all in the world of the Forgotten Realms setting.
Agreed with this. If all actions can be declared good because the punter wants them to be good then there's no point to role playing. And in practice there are usually mods that allow people who disagree with devs interpretations to edit 'reputation', alignment and the like. Which is a better solution than removing them completely.
I also did not like that application.
On the subject of more nuanced alignments, I went into Pillars of Eternity and snapped a pic of my character's reputations/dispositions there. Which is basically the replacement for alignment in that game.

Benevolent 4, Honest 4, Diplomatic 3, Passionate 3, Aggressive 2, Rational 2, Stoic 1, Deceptive 1, Clever 1.... I believe dispositions cap out at 4.
Mostly heroic reputation, except the Ethic Nol who hate me...but I forget who exactly they are.
