Their are supposed to be three paths War (quick-ish removal), Friendship (keep the EVIL Scum around), and fake friend/long War (longer removal with possibly more later content/options) than fast removal. From what I have seen the WAR path is good for blocking ALMOST all (EVIL Scum) Eric content. Friendship path has the most content with the GREAT EVIL from what I've read (I do not play that path). I'm not sure about amount of SCUMMY EVIL Eric content on the long war/Fake Friendship as I have used a couple provided saves and am just not sure.
At this point (and from what we have been told) For those that hate (EVIL Scum) Eric, the best path choice is probably WAR (or grab a save from fake friend). Yes there are a VERY FEW parts that have him in situations we MUST see to get evidence for his removal, but they a SMALL once only bits that we can erase from our brains (with Bleach and Steel Wool).
My personal plan is to watch this thread, remove him as FAST as possible, and later
BEG ask for a save from the longer removal path. I hope that in the next 2-3 updates we will not only get rid of him, but have a better idea how the longer war path will play out.
Hope that helps.
