Everyone of my characters has always been chaotic good. I really wanted to play a Chaotic Evil character and kill everyone in the towns (hehe) but I've resisted temptation so far.  |

Although most of my characters have had a Lawful or Neutral Good alignment, I recently played a Lawful Evil rogue.
He styles himself an assassin, and is very strict and efficient. Since the other people (PCs) he meets are mostly Good, he is more Lawful than Evil. He is in fact very keen to keep NPC's to the contracts they arrange, if more to the letter than the spirit. Even more so than some monks he encountered.
My character isn't interested in pure bloodshed (mostly because he doesn't get paid for the extra corpses), he is just from a grim stretch of the pathways of life.
Of course, he doesn't see himself as Evil, he is just "harsh but fair", and not "walking with his head in the clouds".

I like either Chaotic evil or Lawful good characters.
I like having a high reputation and being popular but I also liek killing whatever the hell I like

alignments are restrictions if you follow the rules by the book.
Ý think they got to be just examples not rules.of course you can't say "Ý am lawful good but i like to do evil deeds".
Ýn my games i don't use alignments much if there is no classes like paladin or monks.
My players usually make their own reputation themselves.Do they like to play evil;kill everyone and steal everything,fine by me they have some really nasty encounters with goverments and also other evil groups...they built their own future themselves free from tymora:)
Ý usually play chaotic good because i don't feel i am evil and i don't like law and justice much...But when i help others who are in need of help i feel very good and happy.some kind of robin hood spirit ý guess... |

Lawful Neutral would be my favorite, it is because neutral characters aren't forced to choose sides. Neutral characters usually follow people with the most money, but they usually bend towards good or evil.

I thought of something semi-intelligent to say about having alignments of just doing away with them, so here it goes.
I think alignments are important. I think it would be best for a character to choose an alignment in the beggining of the game. But their nor restrictions. If your lawful good and you see a weapon you want but have no oney, theres no barrier stoping you from taking it (unless you suck at stealing). You can still do what ever you want but the alignment just sums up the tota of your actions. And who says they shouldn't be able to change? A child might be born lawful good, but that doesn't mean it wont grow uo to be a cerial killer or something.
Well, that about all i got. |

| Ok, I would like to apologize to everyone for having to read that last statement. I didn't realize I spelled half of the words wrong until I already posted it. |

Salius, there is a little icon on top of your message with a pencil symbol. This allows you to edit your post and correct any spelling errors you might find or put additions to your message.
On the other hand, putting children and cerial (or was it cereal) killers in one sentence does look comical in a way
disclaimer: serial killers and children in one sentence is not comical... |

| I've noticed that in BG1 you chose your alignments and some people like to have fun and kill the villagers. Alignment is practically affected on the way you act if you notice and on your reputation. So why doesn't your alignment change and not just your reputation when you do bad deeds? |

Well, that might be the case in BG1 (i didn't play it), in roleplaying your alignment certainly can change! The 3e Players Handbook discribes several times what the consequenses are if f.i. a paladin changes away from good.
Perhaps the AI of BG's DM is just a bit too dumb? |

In BG1, they couldn't put alot of things in there. The game was already 5 disks (6 if you count ToSC) long. They couldn't do everything.
And thanks Mumadar, for the tips on editing statements. |

In Baldur's Gate your alignment doesn't change but you just lose reputation. However, if you are a paladin or ranger and your reputation drops too low, you lose your abilities as a ranger or paladin and basically become just a fighter (I think.) |

| My favorite is actually Lawful Good and Lawful Evil because in a sense they both serve a higher power which gives them purpose in life. Of the two mine is Lawful Good. |
