I also took it twice, and changed some answers here I was hesitant about which alternative to choose. Still, according to the test I'm neutral good. I suppose it's apt, since I have mostly played ranger.

I tried the same thing. :D Some question must have more bearing on the results than others.

I have no experience at all of PnP RPG, I've only played CRPG, so I used a combination of my playing style and my personal views. I find it quite difficult to play totally in total contradiction of my real life views and attitudes. Comes with experience, I guess.

I started an evil party in BG2, but after killing the fleeing shadow thief (Erbarl or something) I abandoned the game :(

I am the same way. :) Never played any PnP. I have learned more about PnP in the last 6 months than I ever knew. :D I answered the question from my view of what I would do in the game.

Hello Leedogg :) What does spam smell like?

@Weasel: Oh, I thought I was the only user here with no PnP experience. I have some friends who have been playing a lot, and last time one of them told me about a campaign, I fell asleep :( I think I'm too impatient for PnP :rolleyes:

@C Elegans :) LMAO I know what you mean.(The starting place in BG2 is like PnP IMO :D ) A lot of people here know a lot about it, Drakron,Flagg,Waverly ect ect.. and I'm good at reading and learning. NWN is suppose to be the best of BG2 and PnP (I believe from what I have read).

@Hi Lee

@LeeDoggyDogg: I'm just fine, apart from the fact that it's 7 am here and I haven't gone to bed yet. I'm in the process of ruining my diurnal rythm prior to my vacation :D How about you?

@Weasel: I very much look forward to NWN too. From what I've heard about the postponing of the release, there is plenty of time for me to learn more about PnP.
I could of course ask my husband, but then he will never stop and I will fall asleep and that will hurt his feelings so I'd better learn from the people here :D

Odd, only users from the animal kingdom here tonight :)

Howdy, all.
Odd, I just took the alignment test again after reading your posts, and it came out Lawful Good. I thought I had answered prety much the same as last time when it came out True Neutral. Hmmmm.

PnP D&D was something I played around with about 20 years ago, but never got very far. CRPG has always been much more appealing.

I'm sort of in the animal kingdom... :)

@Lee Later :)


@C Elegans yes a lot of time now. :( Maybe the delay will just make it better in the end. I still haven't finished IWD's HOW yet and I have (No-Name for those who don't have it yet) to play as well. :)

Good night, Doggy

Hello Gwalchmai :) 20 years ago? Gee, you must be at least as close to dementia and walking sticks and I am :)

Sort of animal kingdom? You mean you are one of those viruses on the verge of having a metabolism of you own? :eek: :D

That's what I meant. Certain questions must have more bearing on the alignment than others.

From my POV, good ,neutral, evil don't matter as much as the Lawful, True ,ect ,ect part.

@Sweet Worm Woman: Yes, Georgi take great pleasure in pointing out that I am quite old, relative to the average age on this forum. But I'm slightly younger than George Clooney, and better looking.

Yes, I am a giant space amoebae about to eat the solar system....
No, actually, the name is a Welsh compound name composed of the elements 'gwalch' (hawk) and 'mai' (plain) or 'maedd' (a blow, battle). The name is borne in Arthurian legend by a nephew of King Arthur, his most distinguished and celebrated knight. (GWAHL-kmí) [according to "A World of Baby Names" by Teresa Norman (1996, p.563)] - I thought it made a cool character name for BG2.

Well, I'm probably miss-using the test anyway. I'm trying to answer the questions to find MY alignment rather than my character's alignment. Many of the questions have no real-life correlate. But, yeah, I agree with you: Lawful, Neutral, or Chaotic probably has the most impact on the life in the real world since Good and Evil can be so subjective.

@Weasel: I must admit I don't know more about the meaning of alignment than the brief explanations in the BG manuals :o

I'm sure the items (questions) in the test are differently weighted. Most self assessment inventories works that way.

@Gwalchmai: It's a very nice name, and also the one I've been most curious about. It's also nice with a broad age span here :D Homogenous groups tend to be boring :)

I have to admit, I'm relieved to see that at least some people in this forum are as old as I am, if not older (I'm 32). Before I started posting here, I was worried that maybe I was suffering from some kind of developmental problem, and I figured that I should really start trying to "grow up." :D
