I understand that alignment should be an approximation to a character's

>Are there games where their version of alignment was done better, in a way that DOESN'T let anyone think that they're supposed to be an unbreakable code of ethics for a character, but still holds mechanical value?
Yes.

Any game without alignment.

Literally D&D default alignment mechanics.

The interpretation you're using is the problem here, not the mechanics. So changing mechanics isn't going to solve your problem.

probably, I've honestly been playing with alignments with different definitions on the background for so long that I can't even remember what they're supposed to accomplish in the first place

nWoD take on 'alligment' is determined values of your character, vices and virtues, that can be harmful or helpful depending on the situation and using those to award beats, which can later be cashed in for XP.

Literally zero people playing D&D have ever encountered this problem.

The pretend-problems with alignment exist solely in online discussions because of alignment images.

I have met actual people that think that one 'out of alignment' action is enough for you to switch
luckily i have never played with them, but i can assure you they exist

You are lying, it is unmanly, and I challenge you to a duel to defend my assertion that it has literally never happened.
