So where is alignment decided?

[Grima The Fell Dragon]

I've got a PS5 run going on and wanted my pc run to be the opposite of whatever happens there, but I can't tell which way my character alignment is leaning. Is there a way to tell before endgame or is it pick a flavor ending?

Also what is the best build for nahobino? PS5 I'm pretty much even stats, but I'm not sure what's more important physical or magical damage wise.

Oh, I was so worried answering how I think would answer would end up punishing me for not sticking to one set of answers.

It TECHNICALLY does, but only in a very specific way.

If, at alignment lock in Canon of Creation, you choose a path other than that of your alignment at that moment, you don't get the exclusive miracle on that run. You can bribe the exclusive demon into accepting you, but you CANNOT get that miracle otherwise.

Honestly it isn't too much of an issue. You get both on CoV as long as you do a completionist run, and the Law miracle isn't very good anyways. Chaos' miracle is though. But even if you don't get it, it's only something that would be useful for NG+, and you can get around it via Essence fusing anyways.

Okay thanks for the information.
