A nuanced exploration of ethical dilemmas was stifled by RAW alignment mechanics, which I imagine is one of the reasons they are now fading into obscurity.
Ah yes, BG3's nuanced ethical dilemma of "Do you want to help the poor, refugee, starving, homeless tieflings?" or "Would you rather brutally massacre them all for the lolz and so you can have sex with a hot girl?" xD (this is a jab at the game, not at you.)
