You'll encounter Pickman, a super creepy serial killer, in Pickman's Gallery in Fallout 4. When you do, you'll have the choice to spare his life or let the raiders kill him.
Is It Morally Wrong to Kill Pickman? A Fallout 4 Ethical Dilemma
With one being a serial killer and the others being the scourge of the Wasteland, it can be difficult to determine which option to choose when playing Fallout 4.
Even though he's pretty crazy, you should save Pickman in Fallout 4. This is because regardless of your choice, you'll receive Pickman's Key, which is needed to open the safe on the ground floor of the Gallery; it contains Pickman's Blade and some bottle caps.
The safe is located behind the painting “Picnic for Stanley” on the ground floor.
