The alignment thing just annoys me. I wish they had got rid of lawful and chaotic rather than half get rid of them which is much worse. It totally enshrines the lawful good as the best good, chaotic evil as the worst evil which many people had and doesn't really work. If you are going to keep lawful and chaotic in the game they need to work on thier own system, not tacked on as an extra dose of good or evil.
And the old alignment system was fairly easy to understand. Lawful evil is like a fascist or the big organisational bad guy running a huge bad guy network. Chaotic good is like a liberal or a druid, they'll help you out and don't like bad guys but it's not worth it to mandate and control everyone to eliminate goodness.
