I just don’t see him as somebody who wants excessive amounts of money and power over the world that a Neutral Evil character typically has.

It seems to me that he just truly loves bounty hunting (which is a morally neutral activity in the world of Fallout; you may be hunting a rapist, or a mercenary, or some innocent person who killed a cannibal in self-defence depending on who put up the bounty), as well as his family, with all of his actions being done in the pursuit of those things.

You may argue that he’s sadistic because of how he carries himself in certain scenes, but I don’t think he does that because he truly enjoys hurting people. He seems to only see violence as a means to an end to be used to get something he wants, otherwise he’d just be killing people who are completely minding their own business and giggling like a psycho while doing it; he also definitely wouldn’t have a problem with killing kids if he was Chaotic Evil aligned. It’s more of a mask for his inner fear by portraying himself as a sadist at times.

He does kill a lot of people, but those kills are usually in pursuit of a bounty, in self-defence, or against other morally gray/evil people rather than against innocents for the sheer sake of profit or sadism.

I just want to close this by saying that I DO NOT think that he’s a good person. I just think he’s a morally neutral one.
