[QUOTE="TwinBahamut, post: 4635020, member: 32536"] That may be partially true (I hate many aspects of the alignment system myself), but it really is more complicated than that. After all, to a certain extent the Law/Chaos axis resonates just as strongly in the new cosmology as in the Great Wheel, except now Chaos is embodied in the Elemental Chaos and Law is embodied in the Astral Sea, rather than leaving the elementals true neutral and putting all alignment in the Great Wheel. Now this really is untrue. :) By all typical metrics, I am an [i]extremely[/i] "lawful" person myself, but I easily fall on the "like the new cosmology, doesn't bother with respect for old authors, likes freedom to create something new" spectrum. I guess this is one more example of why the Law/Chaos axis can be problematic in actual use, even if it is good in theory. :) [/QUOTE]
