It's a game I thought of just now, we post the picture or the name of a character and we each have to guess his or her alignment and argue why he/she belongs there for example:
Darth Vader
(http://media.comicvine.com/uploads/14/149978/2875500-darth_vader.jpg)
I say he's lawful evil. Evil because he'll force choke anyone to death, especially if you've failed an order he gave you and lawful because he'll do everything emperor Palpatine asks of him.
What do you guys think? also, feel free to post anyone else
Sure, I'll go with LE. But he's not afraid to lie or at least "alter the deal" to suit his own desires. I'd say he drifts towards CE at times.
Mine, how about Gabe?

I'm going to say he starts out as CN, and moves to CG as the games progress.
why chaotic though?
Has he ever struck you as someone who believes in following the rules?
I guess you have a point, though I've always thought of him as Neutral, but I get your point :P
Royal family of Daventry?

Barring Valanice, I'd say chaotic good, actually. Valanice I'd say is lawful good, not sure why, just strikes me as more structured/polite or whatever.
The others are chaotic because of the random things they are willing to do while adventuring. :P
Rosella: Chaotic good
why? Because King's quest 7
everyone else mmm.. alas I'm not too familar with the series
I would have said NG, not CG.
for Rosella? Her entire game is based on the fact she doesn't want to get married, breaking a an agreement like that would probably make her closer to chaotic I think
For Rosella, I definitely think Chaotic Good. It's not just that she shows no preference for law, she distinctly likes breaking it and doing things she's not supposed to. That said, clearly a good character.
True. Graham I'd imagine is NG though.
I think an argument could be made for Alexander being Lawful Good. Yes, he does do some more "chaotic" things, but done in the name of righting wrongs against the laws of the kingdoms where they happen.
Also, KQ villains! I think Mannannan is Lawful Evil. He's got his own laws, but he sure seems to stick to 'em like clockwork.
Well, Alexander DOES take after his mother after all.
What about Roger Wilco?
Alas, I never played that :\
Roger Wilco is Chaotic Good, I'd say.
Yeah!
Hmmm... I think I might get Suffered for this, but...
Shadrack?
Shadrack is definitely Lawful Evil, as presented in TSL. Which isn't to say he doesn't cause chaos--but one doesn't run the Black Cloak Society without a sense of order and control!

You should someday, if you get the chance. I highly recommend Infamous Adventures' Space Quest 2 remake, too. (And it's free!)
Yes, if there is one thing I can recommend from IA, it's that.
I can't believe I didn't ask this but what about Erica?
I say she's neutral good, she can't be lawful, after all she DID sneak into Davies' office
But she had good reason to!
Hmm... Larry Laffer?
Larry Laffer? Chaotic neutral definately
Neutral good for Erica, I'd definitely agree. She has enough respect for the law to not be chaotic, but she does get increasingly reckless as the episodes go on. I think I'd still say she's not quite chaotic good, though.
I think the real question is whether she's good or true neutral.
She often seems to be more interested in revenge rather than justice
Well, that is one of the main themes of the game... :)
But, does revenge necessarily mean bad or neutral over good? Particularly if the people you're getting revenge on are definitely not good/are doing bad things?
it depends on how it's handled really.
I'd say she's somewhere between good and neutral :P
This should be a toughie...
The Hero from Quest For Glory?
I never actually played the game, but from what I heard: Chaotic Neutral, he just seems to do what he wants how he wants
LOL, well, that one pretty much depends on the player. :)
I think it also depends on the character type that is being played as well as how the player uses that character. For instance, I think that a paladin has to be played as a lawful good character to reach the paladin status.
Erica steals evidence, cusses everyone out, breaks into places she's not meant to be, hacks into her superior's email accounts, contaminates crime scenes and is generally pretty rude to everyone she meets. :P She might have good intentions, but doesn't that sound slightly chaotic to any of you? :P And she seems extremely conflicted about how she feels about Cordelia's personal brand of vengeance.
ooooh good point! Could it be Erica is really Chaotic Neutral? Tsk tsk Erica :jafar:
I'd say Erica is way more good than neutral. Chaotic Neutral is sort of the embodiment of insanity. You do what you want when you want with no real reason. Erica has good intentions, and that makes the difference.
So Erica would be Chaotic Good? :) I'm so new to this. XD
I always saw the QFG Paladin as Neutral Good, personally. After all, to quote the poet Omar,
He won't always follow orders,
Because he dares to answer "Why?"
And unless he likes the reason,
He refuses to comply...
That, to me, describes Neutral Good. If they were Lawful Good, then they would ALWAYS comply, whether the rule is right or wrong without question.
Sam and Max
Chaotic good?
Chaotic Neutral?
Chaotic Evil?
I could see a solid argument for all 3
I've never played Sam and Max. So, what are the arguments?
Commander Shepard?
Max is definitely Chaotic Evil, but that's why we love him so much. :P Sam tries to be Lawful Good, I think.

I don't know if Sam is Lawful, I mean he does allow and even encourage Max to break the law and be evil.
I guess Sam is chaotic Neutral imo :P
EDIT: But then again, Sam does want to catch criminals and he obeys the Comissioner... True neutral maybe?

There's absolutely no way to define commander Sheppard, it's the sort of game where it's 100% up to the player
Does he? :P I think he's very much committed to the law and he even reins Max in sometimes. :P The only time when he's not committed to the law is when everyone else in brainwashed, and then it's because he views Sammunmak as a usurper and mind-controller and thief of Max's body. :P
Mm... not sure, he does use Max to beat perps to a bloody pulp
Maybe Sam is Lawful evil? :P
I think in the case of Sam, intentions matter again. He is trying to catch whatever criminal is causing problems, so he'd definitely be good. The fact that he lets Max do legally questionable things keeps him from being Lawful altogether, but the fact he himself doesn't do those things shows he's not fully Chaotic either. I'd argue that Sam is Neutral Good.
Really? That's one alignment I did't really expect.
I mean technically isn't he manipulating Sam into it? :P
