I am honestly confused about taking out alignment and how it's supposed to "help with roleplay". My boi. You are literally taking away a big part of roleplay here.
Now that I don't mind at all. One can play a character as any aignment one desires, it needn't be on the character sheet for that. Regardless - that is a 5E thing, not necessarily a BG3 thing.
In addition to that, I do believe in their previous games the players' choices would shift one's alignment and how the world viewed (and treated/responded) to the player in-game. I would be surprised if BG3 didn't have the same systems.
Big part of why we choose alignment is to roleplay as that specific character and not only that, but it can be used very well to create a basis for a character and use it for instance to show character growth like in WOTR. For fuck sake.
Also I want to add that I also want to do something like that. My character started as Chaotic Evil. Now is Chaotic Neutral as he tries to become someone better and maybe end up in Chaotic Good as he redeems himself or goes back down to Chaotic Evil because of his vices he can't escape from. Now I can only imagine it.
In DOS2 your alignment changes as you make choices in the game similar to how you're describing your preference here. It's conceivable everyone starts neutral and then shifts according to our decisions in-game, which isn't necessarily a bad thing because I can't be the only person who has had to suffer through lawful good characters "role playing" their murder hobo fantasies throughout a game.
