I sat down and thought about the alignments, I was comparing them with reality.
I found out a few interesting things.

The Chaotic Good alignment is like anarchism/non-authority-socialism. Believe in the Good forces but don't have any use for laws. (They are a way of preventing a society against changes.)

Lawfull evil is like Fascism or George Bush, (Quite the same thing)

Lawfull good is like the cop in Magnolia. He believes in Goodness but still he trusts the authorites.

And the others, I dont know about them. I want to know what you think...

(My personal ranking

1. Chaotic Good
2. True Neutral
3. Neutral Good
4. Chaotic Neutral
5. Lawfull Good
6. Chaotic Evil
7. Neutral Evil
8. Lawfull Evil
9. Lawfull Neutral

It was more like a battlefield then a discussion Yorick. I want opinions about my chaotic good theory!

I prefer neutral good.
You obey laws when it suits you but basicly you can do what you want.

In terms of the computer game, however, they just restrict your classes, and determine your spell selection/effectiveness. Also, evil clerics temporarily control undead whereas good ones repel/destroy them. My favourite is Neutral Good. You use any method you like to get good done.

Fljotsdale 03-26-2001 07:22 PM

Must agree. I pretty well always opt for Neutral Good, though there are some classes where you can't (eg Paladin). But Neutral Good gets on well/reasonably with most other alignments, too, except chaotic evil.
If you want to get on with everyone reasonably well, though, you should go for True Neutral.

True. Although, if your companions are of opposing alignments to each other, there is trouble between them. Try to keep characters of either "Neutral and Good" or "Nautral and evil", never "evil and good"

Heh.

Alignments are just a conceptual idea to stereotype people into different groups. The system is needs more gray areas.
