[QUOTE="MoogleEmpMog, post: 3199474, member: 22882"] I answered 'No' in the poll, which is great because it's my answer to both questions the OP asked! :D Alignment is a poor system IMX. Its mechanical implementation is lame, and while it probably helps brand new players - but then again, perhaps not - it causes a ton of problems with players who are only passingly familiar with the game. Not to mention those who are set in their ways 'alignment means I act like THIS' where THIS is usually idiotic. On the other hand, I don't think good and evil should be subjective, nor do I think the game world should be absent cosmic forces of good and evil. I'd just rather see the former done with roleplaying and a modicum of common sense, and the latter with subtypes (which it already is). [/QUOTE]
