I did my vote! Also like to add my least favorite. Anything "Nutral" I think it is my personallity that causes this conflict. I have always botched my alignment if I attempt any nutral character. My most favorite is "Chaotic Good" And depending on the alignment of my female mood swings "Lawful Eveil" :eek:

But even so, why not? A little insanity can be pretty intriguing.
If in some CN description stands "it is the alignment of loonatics and madmen", it doesn't mean "all CN chars are loonatics and madmen, ARRR, AYE, ARR!!" Nor are they the only ones.

My first character was CN, and I went through a NE phase a few years ago. Today, its Neutral Good or nothin (or as we like to call it, "True Good" :rolleyes: )'. Sometimes laws are fair & just, sometimes not, in the end, its Good that matters.

I'm not sure that alignments really are how they should be. For example:

I would have thought a thief would be Chaotic Evil, since they don't exactly help anyone except themselves. A thief with good intentions (eg Robin Hood style) would be more Chaotic Neutral since you do bad to do good which balances out. You could also argue that a thief that specifically robs from the rich could be lawful (follows a code of conduct) but in NWN terms i'd say that breaking any law of the land and doing purely what YOU want to do is considered chaotic. Despite what the in-game alignment says, Neeshka IS evil, just not totally evil, I don't see what she does that keeps here at a neutral alignment...

Actually everyone that joins the party can be evil, they seem all too willing to kill anyone that threatens you, even if you don't start the fight or even take part in the fighting, regardless of who it is they're fighting. They also don't seem to care if their leader does some pretty nasty things, even if it is in direct opposition to their alignment unless it's scripted in a conversation or quest.

What would be interesting (which maybe someone could make in a campaign) would be to make the NPCs in the party actually act as they should, Casavir for example would not take part in any quest which is not lawful good, nor would he help you to fight city guards even if they threatened to kill you. Alignment shifting is also a bit too easy, even if you are totally evil you still get 'good' choices in conversations, really the further down one alignment path you go the less chance you have to switch back so in order to convert from pure evil to pure good you'd have to do a LOT to make up for it, after all you can't just say you're sorry and hope everyone forgets about the dozens of people you killed just for fun... just my thoughts...

arathalion
12.09.06, 08:18
its not that simple,

if the city guard threadend to kill you, casaver would probably smite them, as a corupt city watchman is not "lawful" and probably "evil" in the context of that. if doesnt matter that there watchmen.

for instance it is a "good" or "lawful" thing to have a watchman takeing bribes?

depending on the circumstances that watchman could be any alignment. it all has to do with why they are doing what they are doing. for instance:

a guard is bribed to turn a blind eye when the assasins from a large guild try to assasinate his charge. they always come in superior numbers.

he could take the bribe and let it happen, take the bribe and help or not accept the bribe.

if he took the bribe and let it happen he could be, nutrel, chaotic, or evil, depending on why. if he took the bribe and helped he could be good, chaotic, or evil, depending on the circumstances

if he didnt take the bribe he could be lawfull, good or nutral.

it is all circumstancial.

a thief is likely to be chaotic, yes, but could also be nutral or even lawfull. but the good evil bit has no bias.

EDIT: please DO NOT double post, Thats what the edit button is for ;) (euphoric)

McPhearsom
12.09.06, 08:45
In the case of the evil route in NWN2 the guards that attack you (in their hundreds) are lawful (neutral/good) since you're the bad guy. They are merely trying to stop a dangerous criminal (you) by just doing their job and following orders, yet everyone in your party is happy to kill them all without question.

12.09.06, 08:47
IMHO a thief CANNOT be good aligned.. neutral maybe, but not good

arathalion
12.09.06, 08:50
oh, your using a specific thing from the game. well look. some one attacks you, what do you do? you kill them. if someone attacks someone that is with you, they are going to attack you aswell because you are with said person, so you kill them

the good characters do object to your "evil" acts yes?

robin hood would be chaotic good. he robs people yes, but his intentions are good

12.09.06, 08:52
i think what is to be said is....

Would you kill for a friend???
Regardless of alignment, it boils down to that :p

yes, but then you have to examin why they are friends in the first place

its brilliantly simple but amasingly complex

Look at Lorne and Bevil,

1 Evil brother, 1 Good....

They both have started as good but lorne turned...
Still as they are brothers, they would probably kill to protect the other
same goes for friends ;)

Look at it in a real situation, even if you hated your family or have major disagreements with your mates, do you automatically dislike them and leave them get a tuning??

Besides, in this your character is destined to stop the king of shadows, any alignment,
therefore good want to save the world and evil want the money or blood spilling,
thats why each character stays with you...

the act in itself isnt "evil" (ok personaly i dont think there is any such thing as evil, but for the sake of dnd and the argument) it is the intention that matters, the way it is looked at. he might not think of itself as stealing, he might think that he is realeving the rich people of stuff they will never see/use anyway.

it would be evil to steal with the intention of hurting someone, but to take from someone that doesnt need it so much, and giving it to someone else with the intention of helping could be coincided good.

euphoric
12.09.06, 09:22
stealing is breaking the law,
read through the good aligned descriptions again ;)
http://www.thieves-guild.net/index.php?pid=57

No good aligned will break the law except in EXTREME circumstances...

And taking something that isnt yours is an evil act,
the owner may not use it but in respects to most things,
hold a sentimental value ;)
therefore you will be causing hurt to others and good wont do that

never takes dirty money or items
any stolen item is dirty

arathalion
12.09.06, 09:42
sorry, i was actually debating on this based on pnp and actual ethics, not game rules, which are a lot simpler

yes, stealing is breaking the law. never said it wasnt. however one of lawful alignment does not necacaraly uphold the law, but uphold a set of principals, usually being the law.

a thief that steals to hurt people and for his own gain, but always follows certain rules is lawful evil.

"No good aligned will break the law except in EXTREME circumstances...

And taking something that isnt yours is an evil act,
the owner may not use it but in respects to most things,
hold a sentimental value
therefore you will be causing hurt to others and good wont do that"

takeing something that isnt yours is not necacaraly an evil act, the reason you do so determins this.
what if something is stolen from you, and then is later accepted by everyone to be the person that stole it... is then stealing it back evil?

just because you ignored a fact or didnt think about it doesnt make it evil.

gahh, im coming close to arguing that there is no such thing as evil.

are you arguing on pcgame turms, or in dnd itself, or in actuality?

wandaien
12.09.06, 09:46
A chaotic good character acts as his conscience directs him with little regard for what others expect. He believes in goodness and right, but has little use for laws and regulations. He follows his own moral compass, which, although good, may not agree with that of society. A ranger who waylays the evil baron's tax collectors to protect the common peasants is chaotic good. Chaotic good combines a good heart with a free spirit.

Chaotic good characters are strong indivualists marked by a streak of kindness and benevolence. They believe in all the virtues of goodness and right, but they have little use for laws and regulations. They have no use for people who "try to push folk around and tell them what to do." Their actions are guided by their own moral compass which, although good, may not always be in perfect agreement with the rest of society. A brave frontiersman forever moving on as settlers follow in his wake is an example of a chaotic good character.

1. Keeps his word to any other good person (unless it conflicts with his/her plans against neutral or evil characters in which case this would be explained to the good characters unless it may put them in harms way).
2. Lies only to neutral or evil people.
3. Never attacks or kills an unarmed foe, unless of course they are truly evil and need to be done away with.
4. Never harms an innocent... unless it is unavoidable
5. Never tortures for pleasure. Threats may be permissible... (Under extreme duress torture for information may be permissable).
6. Never kills for pleasure (yet destroying evil seems to pleasure them).
7. Always tries to help others.
8. Distrusts authority.
9. Works well in groups, but dislikes confining rules and 'red tape'.
10. Never takes dirty money or items except in extreme circumstances where the acceptance of money or items is a ruse and contributes to the greater good.
11. Never betrays a friend, unless that friend betrays them with bad intent.

ok
"Chaotic Good, "Rebel": A chaotic good character acts as his concience directs him with littl eregard for what others expect of him. He makes his own way, but he's kind and benevolent. He believes in goodness and right but has little use for laws and regulations. He hates it when people try to intimidate others and tell themwhat to do. He follows his own moral compass, which, although good, may not agree with that of society."

yah, stealing is not inherently Evil - its unLawful.

Which is why I raised one eyebrow at seeing the LG thief entry - not because he's Good, but Lawful.

Of course, you could have a rogue who's adept at trap & lock skills, even pickpocketing, because he's a "security expert", one who might even lend out his talents to merchants, lords or nobles, etc, for the express purpose of providing anti-thievery systems for them. It'd be a tight rope to walk, though, for surely that Lawful character might be tempted to pick that occasional pocket, or lockbox, if times get tough . . . .

Furthermore, if my rogue picked the pocket of an orcish chieftain, that's Evil? Nope. That's my character doing what he does best ;). Scouting, too, is a valuable skill rogues offer parties.

i actually like the idea.
every character concept that sounds conflicting and hard to play interests me.

i once played a male elf who was a follower of helm because he was raised by a human ... he had a hard time among men and among his own kin ... but that was very special to play with ... in the end he managed to build his own temple of helm between the sword-mountains and waterdeep :) and helped the temple of helm in nashkel to retrieve an ancient item which could've brought back the dead god Moander ...

that was one of the most exciting campaigns i've ever played ... :)

I never could understand why everything leans towards "good or lawful" more than any other alignemt. At least it seems so. I've played 4 characters in this game alone and the options all seem pretty much the same. Slight deviations here and there at best.

"Yeah, sure you can go if you give me 200 gold" *gets given gold waits a few seconds... sneaks up behind them and slits their throat* - That's the way it should be :p

Agreed. (spoken as a true LE character that I, in fact, am :D No, guess that doesn't fit for Lawful...)

Can you actually get a good gaming experience playing as chaotic evil in NW2? I know they added the blackguard class, but 99% of the time the storyline is hosed when you actually want to RP as an evil char. I always pick the LG Paladin so I wouldn't personally know. :D Thanks!

hello DrunkenGaijin,

i only can suggest trying out yourself. you will see how much fun it is playing an evil charachter. but you need to try to stay true to your alignment.

it sometimes can be hard because human tend to be good at heart. but really try to think as your character and you will have a lot of fun. :)

cheers

Usually, I try to stay Neutral when playing as a Druid, but it's very hard to keep the balance. Other times, I'm a Lawful Good Cleric.

I think in real life I'm "Netural Good"....

...which might translate to "conservative liberal"...

I think I disagree with this. I think the average human is all of the above. We have our moments created by situations driven by emotions. imho of corse :p. Over all we try to be good and even lawful. However situations can conjure many behaviors.

the neutral alignment was moddled of humans. and humans are selfish creatures. ill find the quote at some point for you.

but irl the alignment scale doesnt work.

good and evil are social constructs created to define acceptable and unacceptable behavior, and then to enforce it. language gives power, as language and culture go hand in hand, and so the words you use effect the effect of ones statement, and so these words where created, or perhaps just loaded with (word that i cant remember atm, but essentially means meaning), specificaly to give one the power to enforce the social norms.

law and chaos are not even opposites of each other. for instance someone could be unlawful with out being chaotic and vice versa.

I can't decide.

Choatic Evil or
Lawful Good.

The abscence of Order (Law) is Chaos.

Just as the abscence of light is darkness. The darkness cannot pierce the light, but it is the light which pierces the darkness.

Well, unless you have that Darkness spell...

Anyway, most people confuse the "Lawful" side with the "Law" of the land... Being Lawful does not necessarily mean that you comply with the law... being Lawful means that you believe there should be a strict order to things. Really, it should be called "Order" rather than Law... although "Order-Good" doesn't quite sound right...

But just as good and evil are a matter of perspective, so is "Lawful" and "Chaotic".... a Paladin who somehow ends up stuck in Zhentil Keep or some kind of "evil" empire will not necessarily comply with the rules there... but he will adhere to the beliefs of his Order, and to the beliefs of his religion or his sect. But on the other hand, he would be considered an "Outlaw" and possibly be considered "Chaotic" by the government in that area, because the Paladin does not conform to their laws.

yes, but they are not exact opposites,
there is lawfull and non lawfull
chaotic and non chaotic

I'll make a reply as well Atty, I play mostly Neutral Good though in NWN2 my Ranger got clobbered by bugs so when I started over, I decided to play an Aasamir Paladin

Attalus
12.30.06, 11:38
Yeah, first time I finished I played an Aasimar Paladin. They don't have near as many problems. Will and Carson are playing Rangers and are having a hard time.

Bah good character *snorts* chaotic evil all along because being good is no challange. You gotta have the guts and say no to all the teary eyed damsels and ******* you cross be a good hero be a female be a *****. *struts*

Attalus
12.30.06, 14:46
*shrugs* To each their own. I have never played anything worse than CG, and that didn't feel natural. Once a Paladin, always a Paladin, I guess.

Being evil is easy, all you have to do is be a self centered pr*ck like half of humanity :)

Being good takes character and inner strength.
