They take the neat bits and pieces of characterization that come from the other side of the spectrum. That's why the grizzled mercenary, the ambivalent anti-hero, and the well intentioned extremist are more popular than straight good/evil diametric anymore.This is a very good point. Â A good character needs to be unique and needs theirs morals explored. They need motivations and reasons along with conflict to define them.Â
Let's face it, The Knights of the round table didn't sit around in a tavern and drink all day. They went on hand quests, battled force enemies and became a brotherhood. A good character needs purpose outside of being good for goodness sake.
