dnd has what you're talking about? Personality Traits, Ideals, Bonds, and Flaws.
What's the point to have "Ideals" next to "Alignment"? Are they mechanically different?
5e has alignment, but there aren't actually any rules that depend on your alignment. I think they threw it in because it's D&D and you're supposed to have it?
Yeah, that's my guess as well. It was definitely a bigger deal in previous editions, so I figure they just didn't want to entirely scrap what was previously a very core mechanic even if it's now very much less important.
