>Where did I said that peaceful interactions, diplomacy and "roleplay" wasn't part of the original scene
Because you're running defence for games that throw it all into the trash and do combat simulators because "muh wargames" or something. There's literally no reason to bring it up besides making a point about how agency shouldn't matter and RPG's are all about killing stuff.
>alignment as an actual influence in the world beyond personalities, reaction rolls so interactions with even vile creatures could be friendly, loyalty, morale, full character traits generators and even methods to create adventuring situations like lairs, hideouts with captives, cities with defined populations, etc etc.

Once again you're strawmanning. I said that I care about roleplaying more than anything in RPG's.
