Which alignment do you enjoy playing the most in RPGs?

[vashthblackseed]

I love to play them all (except for true neutral).
Some of my recent favorites have been.
Bring me another beer, and meet me in my room in an hour, for tomorrow I die for Pelor.{Paladin:LG}
Well yes they're stolen, but the king doesn't need a whole deer. Besides, you looked hungry. {Ranger:CG}
So... all those elves are the reason this country sucks, let me take over and I'll take care of the problem. {Bard:LE}
What do you mean I need tangible proof the Bocob doesn't really exists?! I only use his name so you simpleton understand my intentions. {Cleric:LN}
Looks like this town is infested with halfling, gnomes and children. Time to get to work. {Fighter:NE}
What do you mean I can't stab people here? This is a butchers shop isn't? {Rogue:CE}

If it is "Pathfinder" then CG or CN, for there is no greater god than Caiden Caylean, the Lucky Drunk.

I have always found the DnD system Idiotic, morality cant be pinned down like that!

Worst of all, When I play Necromancer as Chaotic Evil ill give the poor kids in the streets some gold, Why? Well my armies need healthy Skeletons, You moron!
Ever seen how easily skeletons break these days, but I skeleton who have had a healthy life is strong.

 

[Togs]

My characters are always Neutral Good with a large side order of ruthless bastard- they do whatever they can to help those in need, but they dont do it in nice ways.
Ive tried playing a lawful good Paladin, really didnt get on with it.

 

[McPulse]

Lawful Evil. I can practise neromancy and chill with the PCs.

 

[Kecunk]

Since i usually play as a mentally unstable bard i tend towards chaotic nutral.

 

[00slash00]

chaotic good or true neautral

 

[HulluKid]

in games i play as chaotic good or chaotic evil

in dnd i play as chaotic neutral because it works best in it
you know... while trying to save village from destruction
if you fuck up get the hell out of there and let them be

 

[ACman]

Red Tick Beer... Needs more dog.

Seriously tho, most Central American beers are pretty rubbish. Corona, Sol, Miller, Carlton Cold.

Anything in clear glass is usually rank.

Photo-oxidization's a *****.

DnD is made to be malliable. There was a DnD book that detailed how you can deal with alignment and how the basic DnD alignment assumes what is good is good and bad is bad. Plus your example has to do with annoying players and a not forceful enough DM.

No, really it's not. I own Unearthed Arcana, and those alternate alignment systems are equally shit. The only real point of malleability in the rules is DM fiat, which exists separately from the rules themselves and already does not depend upon them.

The books assume in a nutshell that law is "respect for society" and chaos is "respect for individual", while good is "benevolence" and evil is "malevolence" without justifying those positions or allowing room for conflict or conflict resolution. D&D is focused on mechanics over character, and thus makes for an incredibly poor storytelling system. Overlaying a rigid, objective morality system derides from the characters, their societies, and the game world; in short, it's an immersion-breaker.

When I run nowadays, I advise my players to not waste their time writing down an alignment and play their character, because I run character- and story-driven games in which growth and internal conflict are #1 rather than simple dungeon crawls. If they're of a class which carries alignment restrictions, or worship more rigid deities, then I consult with them during character creation or as the game develops to anchor them to a philosophical position rather than an arbitrary alignment system. My players are much happier for it, because they have a identifiable point of reference for behavior, can play their character as they envision it, can much more easily resolve moral conflict, and aren't concerned with losing class abilities due to alignment shift.

In that example I mentioned, the "LG cleric of Lolth" was originally my idea and I was running the game. The guy playing the pale master, as I mentioned, was a conservative Xtian and thus had a fairly black-and-white view of morality; as a result, he thought D&D's alignment system was the bee's knees. The drow player carried out the idea as a thought experiment to illustrate the flaws in the D&D alignment system, and how it detracted from the game experience.
