Knowing the way I usually play Fallout games, I'll probably be a paragon of virtue and build my people mansions while I live in a rusty shack down by the river, or something. The needs of the many. Of course, I could always play an evil character, and be the Jim Jones of Fallout. Communism and Kool-Aid.
My character goes for sneak kills and reputation exploits to maintain on good terms with everybody.
How might one characterise that?
I'm not sure, I'd say your character would be like a spy, in that case, or a double agent. Nobody ever actually sees your character kill/harm anyone, and he/she would work with different groups, often against another group's interests, then, reap the benefits of the groups that have been exploited.
I used to play my characters in Fallout/Skyrim as sort of mercenaries. I based it off of The Man with No Name from Clint Eastwood's westerns. He just wants his money. Gradually that just phased into being the hero of the land, but I usually do multiple playthroughs with different characters anyway.
The thing that I like most about Fallout is that it actually gives you some pretty deep moral quandaries if you really read into the situation and what you're tasked with doing. Like, in New Vegas, you could make an argument for the worthiness of every possible ending. In Fallout 3, one of the last choices in the primary quest actually makes you think beforehand. Evil and good are more grey than black and white in all of those games.
Really? the biggest moral dilemma I've found in New Vegas goes along the lines of "Do I have reason to pull the trigger, and will shooting this guy put me in
I'm in it for the skirmishes; the big picture be damned.
