Was the door in his mind more open then theirs? I think that he didn't choose Scott because being a "True Alpha" he's not allowed to kill, and it seemed that the Nogtsune's intention was to kill and raise havoc and so on. I agree with other people when it says that Allison would be a tougher mind to invade given that she didn't seem to necessarily blame herself for the death' of anyone else, and the doorway ritual (sorry, I don't know what its called... when they drowned!) didn't seem to affect her as much as it did Scott and Stiles. However Stiles blames himself for almost every bad thing that happens. I mean instead of trying to fight off madness, or deny it was even present, he admitted himself to a mental hospital (I feel that Allison or Scott would have done something completely difference), so I think it just came down to who would be able to cause as much havoc as possible, and who wouldn't put up a huge fight (not that Stiles didn't fight). I don't think Scott "not being able" to kill wouldn't have anything to do with it. It's not like his body is physically incapable of doing it. It just may or may not remove his alpha status, which the Nogitsune clearly didn't need anyway, evidenced by him slicing Stiles in two and him being fine. I think it really boils down to 'you can't be both' like was said in the show.

We didn't have a chance to see much in the way anyone was affected, before the Nogitsune was already in Stiles. But Allison certainly was. Remember her having the weird Kate dreams? And hallucinations that nearly ended up killing Lydia? That's pretty affected. Scott was really the only one of the two that wasn't affected. He was scared of turning into a monster. Big deal, most of us are at one point or another. Exatcly. It was said more than once that you cant be a wolf and a fox, so thats why the nogitsune didnt choose Scott
