Do you actually look at alignment as a score? As a mini game? Do you not care about what you want to do, so long as it falls under particular alignment? That's not a challenge.
It's not a mini game so much as a major feature of the game. Or much of *the* game. The point of a role playing game is, well,
can you play this role? Can you respond not as you, person who doesn't believe in objective morality (like most people in our cynical world), but instead as someone who lives in a world where good and evil are as real as gravity and oxygen.
@quietwulf I would argue that the concepts are actually less reductionistic because they incorporate elements that are absent our modern, secular worldview. Manicheanism might be a mistake in the modern world but to ignore them in a world with gods is mistake -- Lathander and Selune are one part of the Manichean divide.
