[QUOTE="Helldritch, post: 8328822, member: 6855114"] There is nothing wrong to use short cut for secondary characters and plots. Some of the best movies and novels do it. What truly matters is what you do with the main plot/characters. And this is why alignment is useful, it gives our generic bad or good guys a basic set up, a generic behavior that will fit the needed ir wanted narrative. Nothing less and nothing more. No one cares about the deep motivations of the generic storm troopers in Star Wars. They are your generic LE clones. But if you want to make an exception? Finn is a good example of an expanded generic bad guy that becomes a central character. Even in 1ed alignment was best used for the generic. More leeway was and has always been necessary necessary for the more complex enemies or allies of the players. Again, as was said again and again, it is not because you do not use a tool that the tool is useless and that it should be removed. Some do actually find the tool quite useful and inspiring.
