Quick question: Is the alignment system a sliding system like in KOTOR / PST or chosen, as in BG2? With MCA it could be either. I'd hope it was the latter (better chance they'll allow for eeevil deeds.)

All indications are that the alignment management for NwN2 is modelled (and improved) on the KotOR2 one.

But that raises some issues. Would you only be able to multi-class into being a paladin or monk? If you start off at true neutral, you wouldn't be able to yet utilize all class abilities when taking an alignment-restricted core class You'd have to do a LOT of good, lawful deeds before you could utilize the paladin?

 

What then, eh?

Just like if you pick a character class that has minimum scores for attributes and that character cannot score lower than that in the generation phase, so too the alignment restrictions would prevent a character choosing to be a Paladin (say) as a neutral character.

 

I imagine the character generation will be pretty much like NwN.

 

It is still feasible, too, that the class will also determine the starting alignment, meaning that it is possible to start as true neutral (as a standad fighter, say) or as neutral good (as a Ranger, say).

 

I thought that characters with classes without aligment restrictions starts always as True Neutral. But if you make Paladin character, you have to be LG from the beginnig, or if you're monk, you'll have to be LG, LN or LE

Isn't that what I just said?

?No?

Yes.

 

Wait no.

 

No, that's what he said.

I won't be happy with D&D until I can class as a crotchety old drunk.

That was changed, thankfully. You get to choose your starting alignment within the normal class parameters.

It isn't fun if you're not roleplaying.
