Has Odyssey turned everyone into thieving murdering scallywags

I find the whole FPS part of Odyssey very distasteful and upsetting, to go into a settlement and kill everyone for no reason.
To just shoot down the settlement workers is so different than what Elite has always stood for.
I refuse to do any Odyssey murdering sprees and will keep to flying spaceships.
Doing space combat I am making the universe a better place by ridding if of wanted bad guys.
I would like to know who at Frontier though killing INNOCENT people is OK and good game play.

Hear hear! Elite has always stood for murdering other people in space!
Yeah, but you don't feel pushed to murder civilians. You do for Odyssey. Most missions involve "illegal" actions. Some engineer unlocks need them to.
In space, you can just go after bounties and perhaps CZ. While it may be argued it's a shade of grey because cyberpunk dystopia, you can't really say they are "poor civilians".
Society made me do it.
Don't blame the playa, blame the game.
Some other excuse for being a murderhobo.
I've only murdered two people and don't really understand how either happened.
Game tells me I've stolen over 400 things though. That was a shock to me.

Those stats count kill in anarchy I assume. I have 200 kills, and I don't go rampaging in non anarchy. I mean, the notoriety alone would be nonsensical^^
Only by the great payout for the missions to do just that, and of course all of those delicious materials.
They are only pixels...
Do you scan every person you intend to kill in Anarchy systems, just in case they don't have a bounty attached to them?
Nowadays I avoid rampaging anarchy due to the issue they have. But if I kill people there I scan them "after the fact", if I can, obviously. Some do have a bounty, others don't.
No, I was pointing out that 200murder in non anarchy would have netted me enough notioriety to "bleed of" for a lifetime at this point. So they count anarchy people.
And according to the game, anarchy people are criminal enough for Omnipol and others "police" organisation to not care if they die. Also, pretty much every single anarchy settlement have people with bounties. If you work with criminals, of your own free will, then you are guilty to. Caught or not.

Oh don't get me wrong I'm not making a soapboax out of this. But Elite's all about IMMERSION and for my IMMERSION, in this game, my CMDR wouldn't be doing this.
Probably yeah. The list items make no distinction about legality.
Notoriety 10 is the highest it goes... Gone in 20 hours of play - although it doesn't really affect play too much if one is sensible from whom the notoriety is gained. In the bubble in particular a player could be notoriety 10 and never have an issue with picking up missions, just by moving elsewhere.
No problem! Playing how you wish is what a sandbox offers.
The game has always presented murder quite attractively, EDO is no different. (Although some will kill in Anarchy controlled bases / systems as it isn't 'murder', is it?)
And, as is everything in ED, it is optional, there are always alternatives.
Breaking into a settlement and killing all the civilians I find distasteful and disturbing.
especially now.
I am surprised Frontier though this was ok game play with their code of ethics.

The thing is that you don't have to kill anyone, except for defending yourself against scavengers when they start shooting at you..
