Well im a noob so my opinion may not (and probally doesn't) matter, but i personally like being hated and tring to hide from militaries and other do-gooders. It adds more "spice" to life, i mean we all played hide and seek as kids right? Why not hide from the militaries and seek merchants? Not only do you make money but you have little or no boundries and you can kill basically anythin you see fit to. Well thats my 2 cents.
