Hi I’m new to this game series, but who are the good guys to root for? Is it the police and military?
Nobody. Everyone is horrible in their own, twisted and unique, ways.
Likewise almost everyone has some virtue to them, albeit often hidden and conditional.
You can root for yourself, at least.
Alternatively: You! Root for yourself and declare your choices to be always the “right” ones. It’s a bit arrogant and self-absorbed, but effective.
What did the Docks do to be horrible? I mean, they’re not really good, but I wouldn’t go nearly as far as horrible.
I’m with suincide here… well Mr. Savage is for sure. The dockers are toiling for the gain of others, yet all they hear about is the pain of the tomb-colonists as they head out… fie, I say!
I seem to recall them wanting me to help them murder clay men coming in on ships…that’s pretty evil.
I told them to f off :P
The kittens! Always root for the kittens! (and the Rubbery-men of course!)

Does John Henry ring a bell? Labourers must bond together!
I root for the Rubberies, of course… but I can’t help but use them for my gain. Sad that

And I named my Parabolean Kitten "Sparkles." So I hope that suits you.

There’s a difference between that and outright murder ;)
Everyone has their own agenda. Further complicating matters, most of the factions have sub-factions, with competing agendas. For instance, ‘Constables’ covers both the traditional police and the secret police. ‘The Docks’ reaches from lowly labourers to exalted admirals. ‘The Church’ covers all varieties of Christian faith, from the mild to the militant. Ultimately, you have to follow your own conscience.

Ma’am… I would never think to send you to the Boatman. I assure you.
The question of the strikebreakers is a tricky one. It’s not the Clay Men’s fault that they’re being used as scabs, but good intentions don’t put bread on the dockers’ tables. At the same time, the Masters aren’t importing Clay Men for any selfless reason - only because they’re easier to exploit than human workers.

You’d better not. He bores me to tears :P
I guess bohemians are an ok lot. You can’t count drinking and debauchery as horrible behaviour :)
The Urchins, of course!
No, no, no, the Devils are the only good guys really! They’re… terribly misunderstood, you know?
Me. I am. Root for me.
