So what's the point?  If they change behavior, you just change the
alignment.  Might as well skip the whole idea in the first place.

Me??  Play AD&D??  Just long enough to understand how much I didn't like
it.  Someone mentioned T&T.  There we have a case of taking all
D&D's worst features and trivializing the rules such that your
average juvenile delinquent can understand them.  You know, the 8
year olds with the 50th level paladins who keep getting underfoot at
conventions...

I am sorry to hear that AD&D has spread to Sweden.  But it does
raise an interesting question.  What is the state of the gaming/frp
world in Sweden?  Are there other American game products?  Are they
used in English or translated?  What is popular?  Are there
homegrown products?  Conventions?  It would be interesting to hear
from other countries as well...
