The murder hobo thing is interesting.  I've seen a variety of approaches throughout my time playing 5E.  Interestingly, the campaign where the PCs were the most powerful due to being semi-gestalt characters was the one where we were the least aggressive and most likely to take a diplomacy approach first.  We had the power to roll over the opposition but we just wouldn't.  NPCs who tried to take advantage of this seeming "weakness" learned the hard way.</blockquote>
