    Is there any place in the Dialogs/Scripts for Torment that outlines the alignment changes for TNO? I am using Near Infinity reader and have completed the game. If it can be viewed in another program, please let me know.

    [​IMG] Do you mean in one single file? No.

    In dialogues there will be incremental globals that affect law/chaos and/or good/evil axis whilst different scripts check for the values they are and alter the alignment if it reaches a boundary.

    As far as I am aware there is no compiled list of changes though some walkthroughs give details on what the good or evil choices are.

    Sorry, I meant how many Law +1 to get to lawful, how many Good +1 to get to good, etc.?

    The best hint I could find with Infinity Explorer is the final conversation you have with The Transcendent One (go to Dialogs and search for DTRANS). If your "Good" variable is lower than -20, you get the "Evil" options. So for good/evil, that seems to be the limit before you become Evil.

    I assume this is symmetric around 0:

    EDIT: And I was wrong; Allanius has the correct numbers below.

    Since I couldn't find anything in the scripts, I decided to test things manually. I added some features (Good +1, Good -1, Law +1, Law -1) to the "Tome of Cheats" mod and found the following for those of you who are interested:

    "Good" > 14: Good.
    14 <= "Good" <= -20: Neutral.
    "Good" < -20: Evil.

    "Law" > 14: Lawful.
    14 <= "Law" <= -20: Neutral.
    "Law" < -20: Chaotic.

    Looks like things are imbalanced toward Lawful Good.

    I guess that's not too surprising. Lawful Good seems to be the "optimal" alignment in PS:T, in terms of rewards, experience, etc.
