I have a lot of playthroughs and tend to do things differently every time - according to the classical "What would my character do?" ( Old DnD player here)

Yeah, I understood that and I saw that dialog. It's just that there are other lines in there that close it out. After that, it seemed more appropriate for me to immediately respond with “To kill you” in response to his “Why are you here, little thief?” On the first playthrough, you'll probably want to do the dialog anyway, as you would with any character you meet in the game, so as not to shortcut your story, but when it's already clear what's up with him, you can just kill him right away. I can play different ways, but within certain limits, there are things I would never do, and I won't be able to roleplay a character that would want to do that. Just like in DnD I won't go into LG or LE alignment because I'll get nonsense. But there are times in dialogs, like this dialog with Hope, when there are several questions that could be asked regardless of the alignment, but the game only lets you ask one thing as a result, and so you're missing something anyway.

Gotcha - yeah, it seems that sometimes, you can't exhaust the whole dialogue tree. I guess in some cases it makes sense, in others, it doesn't. I was kind of lucky to get Hopes very sad answer the first time around, then encountered Haarlep and just killed him.
I'm contemplating making a thread about that topic in the Story section, since it is an interesting one, but a bit offtopic now that the discussion moved on. I might do that, when I'm home tomorrow.

Edit: I don't much care for lawful alignment either much, though I do think, lawful evil was pretty good represented with Raphael and Mizora in the game and lawful good with Wyll, but I myself tend to play chaotic good or chaotic neutral.
