   Plus, the problem with having an objectively good faction and an objectively bad one. Is that...no matter who you are, you'd logically back the good one. 
   
   Obviously a good alligned character would back the good one. A neutral character would because they can operate better in a stable world, and even an evil character would likely side with the ones who improve the world, because siding with the objectively bad faction just -fucks over your character- cos they now live in a worse world. 
   
   If you want goodness to all, you want the world to improve, if you're selfish and evil...you still want the world to improve because it's the world you live in.

      Good guys: "We'll pay you to work with us, and we'll make the world a better place."
      
      Bad guys: "We will destroy fucking everything for no purpose."
      
      Even if -you- are evil, siding with the bad guys there is just self sabotage. You can't benefit from a destroyed world. 
      
      Whereas in a faction based system/principle based one, both good and evil characters have different genuine justifications for joining each. Cos it's not as binary, it's personal beliefs.
