PCs or NPCs?

To what degree do you model people as agents?
You can rephrase the question as "do you model people as agents versus complex systems?" or "do you model people as PCs versus NPCs?"
 Reminded me of something in my quote file:

“Rule utilitarianism is how you implement act utilitarianism on human hardware.”
-ozyreads

So rule utilitarianism is for NPCs, act utilitarianism is for heroes, or villains.
