Descriptor, but the word has completely different meaning.

Ack, you are right. Dam grammer werds. I guess I was 0wnzd

 

I meant that alignment is descriptive (rather than proscriptive) in a way that certain spells and effects will know what to work on.

Gromnir's got the right idea. Throughout the game, there will be options like this:

 

1) "I'll try to help you." (Neutral Good)

2) "I Promise I'll try to help you." (Lawful Good)

3) "I Promise I'll try to help you. [Lie]" (Chaotic Evil)

4) "Get lost." (Neutral Evil)

 

There are also some quests that give you lawful points, like joining the Godsmen and helping that dude in the buried villiage get his name back.
