you only shift 10 points towards evil if you accept his plan to take the ear, blah, if you kill him straight after surrenders and wants to talk you don't suffer the penalty. go figure.
as for WHY you suffer the penalty..thats would take a discussion on morales i guess. you could agree with his story and simpathise but at the end of the day it's assisting a criminal, hence it was a bad deed. of course, it might be because the story was a load of old bull..
anyhoo, i always waste him and take the ear off his corpse. its what a cold blooded mercanary would do.
