Your Favorite Alignment in Pathfinder Kingmaker?
So having played this game for a while now I have noticed that there are a LOT of Alignment locked choices for your PC to make and as such your alignment can and will be one of the toughest decisions for you to make an informed decision about.

That said some of us do have our favorite alignments for one reason or another, even outside of the alignment locked choices, where our alignment can help in one way or another via the Kingdom Events. Whether that means your choice of Trade Alliances, or having the Hellknights(Lawful Evil) or Mendev Crusaders(Lawful Good but also has Hellknights in the lore) create a base in your capital.

Even outside of gameplay events like that however you may just like an alignment for role playing or philosophical reasons. Personally I ADORE playing Lawful Evil, by the loosest term of Evil mind and edging against Neutral, and recruiting a certain secret Magister for my court, but of the 9 alignments my heart swings to the Lawful side each and every time.

What about the rest of y'all? What alignment do you love to play in this game and why? Is it due to the alignment locked choices for that alignment? Is it due to the Kingdom Events and Benefits? Or is it just due to your own role playing or philosophical choices?

Neutral evil in this because the chaotic evil choices are sometimes 'stupid' and you lose out on a lot by going down that route.

Neutral Good or Chaotic Evil for me

I don't know if it's a "favorite" exactly but I find that the types of dialogue choices I like to make while playing an RPG tend to be marked as Neutral Good.

LG for mechanical reasons. LE otherwise.

Neutral Good and Chaotic Neutral always tend to be the most flexible and interesting heroes for me. If this game had come out 12 years ago it would have been Lawful Evil tyrant Tiefling all the way lol.

I like the Neutral Good aligment as well. But some choices as a good character in this game makes you feel like a submissive slave.

Also, executing people, even bad people is somekind considered Evil... what I really disagree...

But it is a nowdays game with the social thinking of nowadays that try to simulate a fantasy medieval time, so obviously it would cause some issues in this matter.

But somethings like honor offending would be gladly rewarded with death in lots of cultures in antique times without your character being considered Evil for it.

@Fábio: Yeah, the impression I've gotten thus far is that the game seems to axis its alignment assignments around a mindset that hovers around a sort of in-between blend of Tristian and Octavia.

Though the game's social thinking is mostly based from Paizo's original writings (considering stuff like how Amiri's entire thing is taken almost entirely from her original tabletop canon depiction), with Owlcat just extending on it.

Lawful Neutral, seems to make the most sense when governing a kingdom. Integrity and honor above all!

Mechanically speaking alignments with most content tend to be some mix of Neutral, with Good leading for probably most interesting extra content, Lawful & Chaotic having their time and Evil is fun I guess.

True Neutral is basically half of dialogue options compared to others since you lack Good/Evil/Lawful/Chaotic for their exclusive choices.

I enjoyed the most LN, and mixes of Evil. LG was also fun in the crusading against evil sense.
