Asshole Karmic Type

Asshole is a Karmic Type available as a starting choice in Olympus 2249. Steam names it in contrast with Moralist, while also describing options in between.

What does Steam confirm about the Asshole starting choice?

The official description says:

“Start as a Moralist, an Asshole, or somewhere in between.”

This establishes Asshole as a named starting option. Steam also says your Karmic Type changes dialogue, quests, opportunities and how other characters react. It does not publish a list of Asshole-only lines or quests in this description. Source: Steam — Choose Who You Are.

Can conversations close off factions or quests?

Yes. Steam’s conversation section describes a faction refusing to accept you and a quest never being offered as possible consequences of what you say. These are confirmed examples of consequences in the game’s conversation system. Source: Steam — Don’t Underestimate a Conversation.

Steam does not identify a particular faction or quest in those examples, or attribute those outcomes specifically to Asshole. Asshole-specific access requirements are Not confirmed yet. The starting label alone is not evidence that a named faction will refuse you.

Which types can I move toward from Asshole?

The exact neighbors of Asshole are Not confirmed yet. The official starting-choice sentence does not identify them or place Rascal, Neutral and Optimist in a complete order.

Your starting type can change during a playthrough. The Karma overview explains the shared dialogue and drift rules; the Moralist page explains why a starting choice does not fix your type for the entire story. No exact point requirement for moving away from Asshole is confirmed.
