And to be clear, @grysqrl and all -- I do think that you should be able to choose alignment and deity in character creation for all races.

I just really, really think WotC is making a mistake by moving away from alignment and we are seeing it here -- people like alignment so Larian is trying to sneak it in. But the new way of sneaking it in is more problematic than the old one. We should be able elect alignment, just like in Pathfinder, just like in Solasta, just like in BG2.
