"earned" alignment points - help me remember which arcs have them.

[Ukase]

It's no secret that if you want to get 40 merits, you may complete 10 tip missions of the same alignment and then complete a morality mission. 

I'm sure I'm not alone with the realization that Mark & Recall accolade requires us to complete 25 tip missions. 

So, after you get your 25, there is an option to complete the next 5 tips and a morality for another 40. 

But there's another way, and I'm trying to piece it together, and could use some help. 

I know from Dr. Stribbling's arc, Troubled Times, level 30-34 that by making certain decisions you can earn a vigilante point. Possibly two, but I haven't determined what the right decisions are for that - I know regarding Thystle, if I let her go, it gives a point for hero, and if I defeat her, it gives a point for villain (and that could very well be the other way around) But perhaps there's a path in the dialogue to get a vigilante point? No idea. 

But there is certainly a way to earn one vigilante point by completing Stribbling's arc. 

So that would move the player that stops at 5 vigilante tips (like me) to 6 pts. 

I thought that Shauna Brown's arc would allow for a point, but when I chose to kill him, rather than have him face bribery charges, zip. 

Can you all remind me what other arcs provide alignment points?  I'd much rather do a story arc and earn the remaining points as I go, rather than just do the tips, even though it would only take me 20-25 minutes to do the 5 tips and morality.

It's a fairly new thing, awarding alignment points within a mission.  I don't recall seeing it until i27p6, with Stribbling and John Houston.  

 

I haven't done any of the i28p1 new contacts (I need to) but when I looked at the wiki for one (Ashling Corlett) I noticed a reference to an alignment point so there's another.

I think there's a way to get them in The Graveyard Shift, too. Haven't run it in a while and wasn't paying attention, so I'll have to get on that and check it out.

As I recall, you get a Vigilante point for refusing quarantine in the penultimate mission where you fight Pathogen.

That's what I recall, too. Just need to run it to make sure. 

So, the Troubled Times arc, Stribbling. 

Roughing up the hacker to get him to talk awards 1 vigilante point. 
Letting Thystle go earns a heroic point, and arresting her awards a villain point. Doesn't seem to be any middle rogue/vigilante ground with that discussion. 


Arresting Marcus awards 1 villain point and...5 heroic points? This can't be accurate, because I now only have 4 heroic points. 

 

Letting Marcus go awards a heroic point. 

Returning Marcus awards 1 villain point. 
Defeating Marcus awards 1 villain point. 

It's puzzling to me. I've run this 4x, a different decision each time. No vigilante points were awarded in chat or on screen in words, yet, my tips bar, which showed 9 vigilante points after roughing up the hacker, somehow filled up. 

It wasn't Thystle, and surely it wasn't defeating Marcus. 

 

Well, time to do a morality for 40 merits, I guess.
