Most accurate sum-up of real life in terms of alignment system comparison? Comrade 10/18/2020 (Sun) 07:36:02 No. 5352 [Reply] [Last]

Since the industrial revolution 'Lawful Evil' has become far more common than 'Neutral Evil'. Although today it exists more in the form of crime gangs, just like how bandits were often that way back then. 'Lawful Good' and 'Chaotic Evil' are equally rare alignments to each other. The 'good guys vs villains' stuff is often more in the form of 'chaotic good', chaotic neutral (sometimes) and 'neutral good' going up against 'lawful evil'. If you designed a fantasy game that mirrors real life in 'alignment distribution' this is how it would look. If a character like Mehrunes Dagon or Zamorak were to show up in the real world through some sort of 'inter-reality travel' he would be seen as a hero. Planet Earth from now to the 1990s would certainly be the most ideal setting.

can the alignment system be compared to real life politics?

Comrade 10/17/2020 (Sat) 16:15:48 No. 5320

It's much better than D&D's, at least.

Comrade 10/17/2020 (Sat) 21:47:42 No. 5332

>>5331 I find it a lot less cartoonish than D&D alignments.

Comrade 10/17/2020 (Sat) 21:53:38 No. 5334

>>5332 Maybe because I'm not the most familiar with both of them but they both seem so incredible simplistic that they basically identical to me.

Comrade 10/18/2020 (Sun) 04:20:02 No. 5345

>>5318 Yes, most ranging to nearly all bad guys or villains in real life are 'Lawful Evil'. 'Neutral Evil' and possibly 'chaotic evil' irl villains were common in pre-industrial times. 'Neutral evil' applies more to some 'crime gangs' more. 'Lawful good' is very rare and only. Chaotic or neutral good are the most common forms of 'good guys'.

American then suddenly invades and pretty much destroys every city in his country. When they're about to capture the capital city the US forces get rightfully nuked (and in the third game it's revealed Asad didn't even order the nuke). He then got killed in a black operation by Brits for a crime he didn't commit.

"The legion will bury a country/kingdom at the first sign of exposure." If only there was a real life version of the legion that dealt with places corrupted by the 'neoliberal abyss' a similar way. Where human thinking or behavior is so depraved to a point where you have all this BS where the masses hardly care at all about climate change, inequality and doing anything to eliminate pandemics.

The crazy conspiracy theorist Alt-Right are pretty much like Abyss corrupted 'people' but it happens to their brains instead of bodies. Imagine if there was something that razed the country they lived in to 'purge the corruption'.

So in case you didn't hear about some of the stuff people have found digging through the files of Alyx but Half-Life 3 literally died for this game as in the assets for the cancelled Half-Life 3 game are still in Source 2's coding and even the weapons for the game are still packaged in the model files. Also it turns out Alyx is just a reworked Half-Life short story as people found the normal non-VR files for the game and it was just a tech demo that was 40 minutes long, the VR stuff was just slapped on and it was turned into a full game. TL;DR: Alyx is just the greedy cash grab on the Half-Life name we all knew it was and the proof was literally in the pudding.

Hi, Does anyone else here play LCS? I am working on updating it and would appreciate it if i could throw ideas around here, take suggestions and ask people to test out some of my changes? Original game can be found Here: http://lcs.wikidot.com/ and https://github.com/Kamal-Sadek/Liberal-Crime-Squad Please report me any bugs here, too as there are currently no other active developers. Would be great if other people wanted to be involved, too.

In this version im basingg of off the president is in there (you can go to the whitehouse,) So i thought there might be some comody to be had there. And i was thinking of updating the random things like pickup lines, interogation lines, wisdom lines, etc. If you have any ideas. :)
