Hey guys, first time poster! A few comments on Episode 27:
1) HK is wrong. 4E's mechanics are mostly about combat, just like almost everything else, but that in no way hinders your ability to roleplay. People who actually think that 4E doesn't facilitate roleplaying are just blinded by their dislike of a new system. Its skills are the same as 3rd edition or Pathfinder.
2) Alignment is an overall outlook on how to act. An evil person can do good acts but they're more likely to resort to violence or actions that will hinder others to get what they want, whereas a good person could do bad things but generally tries to help people as a whole. Lawful or Chaotic is whether they try to fully follow a codified set of laws or not. Neutral is just in the middle. As to most people being neutral...yeah, probably. But adventurers aren't most people.
