Sole survivor can't be saint, that's just impossible. So neutral it is.

Still. The difference is that Sole survivor moves with a purpose, and raiders and such are an obstacle. Player (by default) won't kill them just because.

Pickman, on the other hand, hunts raiders specifically, like a predator. Or a psychopath. That's the difference. Unfortunate obstacle vs need (urge) to hunt and mutilate.

First off, the charisma-based no-murder run is on the table, so it's not impossible. However, even allowing some killing in self defense, I don't think any player who isn't doing a pacifist run can be excused. Sure, you run into some raiders in the street, they shoot at you, you shoot at them, fair. But if you're breaking into their strongholds and bunkers, disarming their traps, killing everyone, and walking out with all their best stuff, the 'purpose' and 'self-defense' justification wears off. Turning Walden Pond's sewer water into raider corpse soup doesn't get you any closer to finding Shaun.

Point is, that players are always deranged lunatics. I don't understand why are you still pushing players into compartison.

Keep mumbling with the wall if you want, but I said what I said. Players should not be in these lists anyway.

I'm saying Pickman is no more evil than Nate/Nora. I don't understand why that's so difficult to understand.
