Description
An alignment chart I made of the Skyrim characters. It's like the one I made for Oblivion, but I've added two extra rows.
This alignment chart was harder to make in my opinion, seeing as it was harder to find good quotes for every character.
Eventually I chose these characters, but feel free to give your opinion.
*Edit: I finally found a better words instead of innocence and badass; Humble and Rebellious
*These characters were made by Bethesda, I do not own these characters in any way.

If there was such a thing as True Crazy, Cicero would be it.
👍: 1 ⏩: 0
I love that Cicero is Chaotic Evil. I agree completely, but somehow it seems like most people classify him as something else.

I want to kill that 'Lawfully Evil' bitch. -Glares at said woman-
Wait...does something bad happen if I do that?

Unfortunately, you can not kill her in the vanilla game
But if you have the right mods....

At least she shows concern for the Gray Quarters.

Well, Cicero does respect the Tenets of the Dark Brotherhood, so is he completely chaotic?
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I would have to say neutral good, because she doesn't really fit with Lawfull, Innocent, Badass or Chaotic (maybe her constant reanimations are chaotic 
Though I wouldn't really call her neutral either, seeing as she is rebellious and also very troubled by her family.

Personally I'd have put Arngeir in good and Tullius in neutral. the others I agree with.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Naah, Tullius fights for what he thinks is the best, and follows the rules... No Imperial like the thalmor nor the White Gold Concordat but they obey it to prevent more death and woe.
And Arngeir never wanted to take part in the war nor fight Alduin, he rated the Blades for killing the dragons, his mind was "if the end of the world has come let it end so the new one can come". so yeah neutral (or even lawfull evil).
I would put Savos Aren in Lawfull Neutral for his "Let the problems solve themselves" way of mind, but Cicero wins the cake... love that psycho.

So...Arngeir is evil for not supporting the systematic genocide of an entire sentient race...
Plus the end of the world is a natural, cyclical event in Mundus, Arngeir just didn't want to meddle in the affairs of Gods

If you think that way all Dark Brotherhood are Neutral cuse death is part of natural cicle, and aiding Sithis is the holyest of missions...
Arngeir ok with his race anihilation, or suport of Dragons is the same thing Dragon Priests did as nord rulers. Are they Neutral as well? So lets put Alduin in Neutral too, cuse he was sooooooo kind to not devour the world and just try to enslave it!
Don't take me wrong I would have been on dragons side but I couldn't be labled good.

Umm...Arngeir doesn't support the dragon cult or Alduin, he even helps you on the way to defeating Alduin. He's just opposed to the Blades genocidal attitude towards Dragons, a possition I agree with because we know there are good Dragons, I.E. Paarthurnax and Odhaviing.
As for your comparison to the dark brotherhood, it's flawed in several ways. Firstly, the DB aren't actually serving Sithis. Sithis is non-sentient and cannot order assassinations, the orders the DB think come from Sithis actually come from Mephala. Secondly, the DB are actively killing people, Arngeir simply takes a non-interference policy.

Awesome
My only critique would be that Tullius and Ulfric strike me more as neutral, and the Greybeards (like Paarthurnax) as good, but the rest makes a lot of sense
What defines "Innocent" and "Badass" though?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Wouldn´t you think that the Greybeards are neutral, since different people in the game state that they are disconnected from the rest of skyrim and that they don´t interfere with everything that happens in the rest of skyrim.
In my opinion, what defines "Baddass"ness is when they don't care about what others think about their actions.
The word "Innocence" wasn't really the word I should've used in this chart. What I meant was that they don't brag about their actions or show off in any other way.

Tullius always seems more Lawful Neutral, though he isn't a Thalmor pushover like many claim. After listening to Ulfric for a long time, he's definitely not Chaotic Good. Ulfric is Neutral Evil with delusions of Good, like a villain that doesn't think he's a villain.
If he was Chaotic Good, the slaughter at Markarth wouldn't have happened. Babbette is definitely Lawful Evil, and by his philosophy and actions, Alduin is Chaotic Evil. Parthurnaax falls into Chaotic Good, as he was never innocent (reformed evil after all). The rest seem fairly accurate.

It is true that Tullius' allignment can be debated, but of all the characters in skyrim I could think of, he seemed most 'lawful good'.
Though you have a good point about Ulfric not being good, I find it hard to believe that he was 'neutral evil', mostly because those who are 'neutral evil' are usually 'evil with no real reason other than just being evil'. You also need to keep in mind that he was tortured by the thalmor, though I believe that happend after the slaughter at Markath.
The Innocent and Badass factors are the two things I added on my own so it is still hard to define what makes someone 'Innocent' (just acts innocent to others, while he/she totally isn't?) or 'Badass' (he/she does what he/she wants without thinking about others whatsoever, and looks cool doing it).
I don't really see Babbette as Lawful because she is still a member of the Dark Brotherhood, whos activities aren't really 'legal' 
The reason I don´t see Paarthurnax as ´Chaotic Good´ is because those who are´Chaotic Good´usually do crazy chaotic things, but the mean it well, and I don´t really see Paarthurnax like that, he is more calm than that (though he might not have been like that in the past).
I am not trying to insult you by the way, you can have your own opininon, I'm just trying to give you my view on it
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lawful doesn't always mean they follow the laws of society, as they might follow a particular code instead. Or as is the case with Lawful Neutral, they may just follow orders without question. The idea behind Lawful being focused around order and organization. As for Chaotic alignments, its really only Chaotic Neutral that has a bent for being unpredictable. Chaotic Alignments are more about personal freedom than they are about Chaos. No worries, I didn't take it as an insult. I'm just a gamer that decided to give his two cents.

Nice. But I would suggest you replace Astrid with Miraak.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You know, you´re absolutly right! I had completely forgotten about him (whoops!).
I'll see if more people agree and edit it if more people agree

Miraak is one of my favorite enemies despite his habit of soul stealing.
