Not to mention as I like to point out, a lot of great villains tend to not even be evil, they are actually chaotically good. I mean have you seen Fate/stay Night? Gilgamesh is such an awesome villain! I don't care who you are, when you look at him and just really know him you can't help but like him despite the fact he is practically telling Saber that she is to become his woman. A womanizer and greedy as all heck yet if he was your leader, I doubt you would ever turn on him. <br/><br/>Heck lawfully good can be rather villainous as well. If the divine laws state that in order for peace to exist and lives to be spared, you had to kill people, even if the law were created falsely, since your following that believing it by virtue to be true and attempting to kill for the good of mankind following the laws set before you, you still remain a good character. I mean really if anything its hard to be lawfully evil. You need to basically follow the laws that explicitly say 'kill everyone for great power' or something to really fit that role. :)<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>Not true on that last part. There are some things harder to play the others. Evil is the most in my opinion, as the level of callousness needed isn't present in most people. Law is easily put to a personal code, even in the case of lawful good. I've delved deep into the pits of this because of so many disruptive players that try to use their alignments as a way to justify stupid actions. The words I hate the most are "I'm just playing my character!."<br/><br/>Now, any alignment is hard to use as a guideline for someone that doesn't understand or can't relate to it. But lawful evil, to me that is the easiest to portray. I have trouble with chaotic evil at times, myself.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=100680.msg4455607#msg4455607">Quote from: ExisD on 03-04-2011, 03:20:53</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Alignment is such a funny thing, especially in my current dnd game. So many LG and NG characters who if I used my alignment definitions on them would be NE or CE.<br/><br/>As for Fate, I know that said Gil is CG but I think of him more as CN leaning CE, I usually look at Good v Evil ad a matter of how selfish you are, where an evil character would only consider their own goals and how any given action favors them when trying to determine anything.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>I agree, and it's even how it is stated. I don't throw a big hissy over it, because everyone has their own ideas. When it starts to effect my game, however, I do tend to throw my two cents in. You just stated many of my views. :)
