Consortium Achievements/True Neutral

This is by far the hardest achievement in the game because you need to end the game with 0 alignment from everyone.

As general rules:

• Do not talk to anyone you don't have to.
• "Say Nothing"

Bare in mind that certain actions cause alignment changes for a lot of people. A list of most of these changes can be found here.

The achievement pops when the credits start scrolling.
