I don't get the dislike of alignment as a character-building concept

[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 5710059, member: 9037"] We do tend to react to the clues and plot hooks the DM puts in the game we don't play sandbox style games so it is very rare that we tell the DM hey we are going to go and hunt some drow today. But on the other hand just because some people have issues with alignment does not mean that others do. One thing that tends to get me on discussions like this is the idea that because I don't find alignment broken or bad I must not be playing DnD by the default way it is written. Not saying that you are saying that. But it is often implied. It has already been said in this thread. I love a good alignment discussion on is this an evil act or fill in the blank. I find it interesting to see how other people view morality and where they draw the line on what is an evil act. What I don't tend to enjoy is when the conversation goes to extremes. Like the paladin must use torture to save the world or zombies have feelings to. I find those examples to be counter productive to any real discussion. Now the goblin tribe raiding travelers to survive or what to do with prisoners those discussions I find fascinating. I can see that for some people and the games they run they find that alignment does not work for their group. [/QUOTE]
