Earlier editions' LG and CE are very different from 4e's (imho).Before, LG meant that one honored authority and tradition, did what was best for the greatest number, etc. Now LG is "anything for civilization!"Before, CE meant that one had no respect for the rights of others, took what one wanted when one wanted, ignored the consequences that one's actions caused others, etc.Now CE is "tear it all down!"IMHO an old-school LG character could fall under LG, G or U in 4e. Conversely, I think a 4e LG character "back translated" could come out LG, LN, NG or even LE.IMHO an old-school CE character could fall under CE, E or U in 4e. Conversely, I think a 4e CE character "back translated" could come out as CE, NE or CN, with a very slight chance of N, in older editions.</blockquote>
