Started a Baldur's Gate 3 playthrough (I pirated it because of course), and decided to roll a Paladin, as to roleplay a class struggle oriented fighter against oppression, next thing I know I'm stuck with a whole bunch of silly ass moral codes and liberal bullshit.

In the end the aristocratic ass elf that you can get as a companion is doing all the hard work not to break the RP of my main character and I'm hardly using it for the fun things (assassinating class enemies).

I've been having a good time running a couple of 2E games

It's especially good considering that I got a bunch of absolute newbies to fall in love with it when they were nervous about it to begin with

The fact that they're still working on keeping it streamlined and easy to get into with the new reworked rules has been great too

And the fact that they finally eliminated alignment as a hardset thing is only a plus as well

No more having to try and differentiate what Lawful vs. Neutral vs. Chaotic is to people who would just look at me like I grew a second head
