He knows this, he lives this. He shall help if it helps him, it doesnt matter if other is good or bad. He is there to survive. But what really makes him true neutral, he only kills if he is required to do such. He isnt going to kill anyone unless they force his hand. Only a true neutral would react like this.

    I understand why you would consider Strong to be Chaotic Evil but I think he fits more for Neutral Evil, he has some rules of his own, they're just super mutant rules, which are mostly might makes right and stealing bad, sharing good. So basically a communist barbarian, which true Americans like Sergeant RL3 would find detestable!
    Everything else, though, I think your choice in placement checks out.
    Maybe Dogmeat could be lawful Neutral like Danse, since you (the Sole Survivor) are basically Dogmeat's BOS, whatever Dogmeat does is in service to you, and all the ends justify the means. I'm indirectly saying Danse (And by extension X6-88) is a dog for whom he serves.

    I see it slightly, differently with Lawful being about structure, whilst Chaotic hates structure. Good meanwhile is about beauty, whilst Evil enjoys vandalising the world.

    He does have governing moral principles as simple/few as they may be. But he also expresses that he prefers to follow his gut and act on impulse. And he values freedom of choice in life.

    I think Danse is 100% a lawful evil. He'll do anything the Brotherhood wants, slaughtering mutants, ghouls or synths, no matter if they are hostile. The Brotherhood will forcefully take over farms and settlements. They'll nuke an entire part of town if their enemy is located there. They'll wipe out the Railroad, killing humans who are sympathetic to synths. If they could build and use a Death Star to defeat their enemies, they would, and Danse would go along with it.

      I agree, it stings a little but Danse is definitely lawful evil leaning neutral.

Treating synths like shit-and often outright killing them-stealing food from starving settlers, hostility towards non-feral ghouls, and just generally treating non-brotherhood peeps like shit aren’t things someone can be totally on board with and still be considered neutral to me. Danse himself treats your ghoul and synth companions with disdain and hatred, he just isn’t the best dude morally speaking, even if he is definitely very principled.

    MacCready felt hard to place to me, because he's only in the Commonwealth to look for a cure for his kid, which seems good. But thinking of this from a selfish v selfless streak, that's the most selfless thing, and is even a little still "for *my* kin" right? He's opposed to Gunners, for selfish reasons. Wants to end those two, because they're after him. The fastest way to rush affinity with him is to pick owned locks.
    Anyway, maybe he should fit to the evil end of the spectrum, is I guess my thought to express.

    @terminateshere 20 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    Only change I'd make is Ada being true Neutral. Other than hunting the Mechanist, she has zero capacity for moral judgement - like Dogmeat. In the game, reflected by not using affinity in any way. Curie remains neutral good though - her programmed medical-care duties give her a 'healer' aura - her only real flaw is naivety. Unlike Codsworth, she hasn't had 210 years outside to learn 'who to trust and who to kill' - hence she back the Brotherhood of Steel despite their hostility to synths and 'peace only through war' mentality.
    Agree with Strong, though. Whilst he does sometimes show appreciation of 'like helping like', he only believes humans should co-operate in order to further their ability to kill, not for any higher purpose.

They kidnap and replace people, unleashed super mutants into the commonwealth, and generally do literally nothing to help out while spreading fear and hate among the people. Even if their stated goals are to “help” humanity, in practice they’re not much better than the Enclave.
      The institute is way too detached from the commonwealth-they live *underground* for gods sake-and that detachment coupled with the dehumanization of anyone outside those walls has led them down a path of cut and dry evil; even if they purport to do good.
