Moralist Karmic Type

Moralist is a Karmic Type you can start as in Olympus 2249. Steam names it alongside Asshole and describes choices in between.

What does starting as a Moralist mean?

Steam’s character-choice description says:

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

Moralist is one of the named starting positions in that description. Your initial type is part of the Karma system, which affects dialogue, quests, opportunities and how people react to you. Source: Steam — Choose Who You Are.

The official description does not supply a list of Moralist-only dialogue lines or named quests. Those details are Not confirmed yet. The type name alone does not establish a particular quest outcome.

Do I have to remain a Moralist for the whole story?

No. Steam says Karma shifts with your choices: the person who begins the story can differ from the person who finishes it. Starting as a Moralist therefore does not mean keeping that type throughout the playthrough. This is a general Karma rule, also applying to other starting types. Source: Steam — Choose Who You Are.

See the Karma overview for selectable dialogue, adjacent-type points and type drift. The exact neighbors of Moralist and the thresholds for changing type are Not confirmed yet.

How does this compare with starting as an Asshole?

Steam explicitly names both choices, with other options described as being in between. It does not specify the complete adjacency order. The Asshole page focuses on the conversation consequences described by Steam, without assigning them exclusively to that type.
