Soooo... what does the Zone go for?
Warlord, thought i'd like some kind of middle way...

Clearly warlord for groups, or people, which are a large threat to our group, or in general are raiders/rapists/criminals and the like. But it's not that i like to threaten everyone just because tthere may be some differences that could be resolved through negotiation.

Also not sure if i'm a fan of the MC getting colder with each kill...
I'd like a MC which is resolut, hard and cold when necessary, like towards those who pose a real threat.
But still be caring and warm to his own people and open minded to other groups which we can co-exist with without compromising our own values.

Warlord all the way.
Actually, the poll has a third option "Neutral", that I chose. Which means that I like to play both paths because either of them gives you a different experience and conveys different emotions.
I do think that it's better to go full-on on either path so you can get the most genuine experience each time.

Not a fan of black and white Hollywood dichotomies, going full treehugger or full psychopath doesn't make sense.
I mean, if someone wants to kill you it doesn't make sense to let them live because they will come back to try again.
We're not playing in a world with laws and so on, it's post apocalyptic city so extreme measures are in order.

tbh id be more a balanced approach between Peacemaker and Warlord depending on the context like I do when I play games like Baldur's Gate , Fallout etc etc unless I am making a murder hobo save. With that being said id probably lean heavier on the peacemaker than warlord side unless they literally are known hostile enemies or attacking first.

I understand that approach, but I see an important difference between huge games like Baldur's Gate and this type of AVN.
BG is so huge that you'll probably only play it once, maybe twice, so it's virtually impossible to see all the content the devs have put into the game. For that reason, play however you like; you'll never see 100% of the content anyway.
On the contrary, an adult game will always be much more self-contained, so by sticking to one "moral trait" on each playthrough you'll be making sure not to miss out on any scene the dev has included in that path. If the player starts choosing half-half they'll probably miss a chunk of the content from each of the "pure" paths because at some point he's bound not to meet certain requirements.
Of course, this is only valid if there isn't a third middle route, like a real "neutral" one with different outcomes and scenes. In that case, the balanced approach is necessary on a third playthrough if you are a completionist.

Next time I replay this game I already plan to fix my saves to have a main save this is where I pick things on what I want to do so split between Warlord and Peacemaker depending on the context. Then 2 content saves where I go pure warlord / peacemaker. I guess these will be the only saves I will even romance / have Anais in my harem just to see her content even tho I don't like her very much she just isn't for me.

How the hell does the OP not have this includes death! Your best friends die in the prologue.. deleted I want to enjoy a game not have a depressive time. Killing off characters you just made us bond with than kill them off.. total garbage to pull when OP says nothing about that.

What a stupid post. Your friends die when you're 5-10 minutes into the game. I'm not even putting it in spoiler box because it's literally the beginning of the game.
How the hell can you as a player have a bond with some secondary characters you've only known for 5 minutes?
You better not try that other game in which the MC loses his daughter and wife at the beginning of the story.
