But from the game I get the feeling like 90%+ of Noer population are nothing but shitheads from the moment they are born. Such place does not deserve any pity or compassion. One should save such things for those who truly deserve them.

That is because you judge them by our modern standards that are only in power because we live cushy lives. The game takes place in more brutal times. Noer is under siege which alone would make the lives of those people a living hell - food, clean water and other necessary goods would become scarce and very expensive. Now include the refugees that add to that burden. Don't expect any human to be kind when bread is taken away from the mouth of their child. Starvation, fear and squalor leads to desperation and desperation to opportunities for others. Prostitution is rampant because a lot of women are starving to death. No different than Berlin after WWI which became the sex degenerate capital of the world due to poverty. Men would become slavers, mercenaries, bandits because there would be little honest work that actually pays off. The fishfolk need women for snu snu and are more than willing to trade precious resources for them which incentivises slavery be it willing or not. After all, what is the life of a stranger compared to the life of your loved ones? Elise even mentions this, that Noer exists only because the fishfolk gave them food. It is actually that bad and you can be sure that it is still not enough for everybody.
There are bands of crazed starving blue balled men in rags that roam the land. What do you think they would do if they meet a lone beautiful girl? Keep her safe? Feed her?
This game perfectly describes what humans truly are when the comfort is taken away from them. As Lenin said "Every society is three meals away from chaos."
If food and water is taken away from us you can be damn sure that our real world will become Noer 2.0.
