[QUOTE="Teo Twawki, post: 8871106, member: 7033305"] Just the same as great novel material doesn't mean great film material, what makes for great story in a film does not necessarily translate to an rpg. On this point, I completely agree with [URL='https://www.enworld.org/goto/post?id=8870016']Emirikol[/URL] that the game falls short of its IP title. While it is indeed a common theme in Cyberpunk to be a criminal doing crimes, but there is a difference between working for a corporation doing their bidding in one's criminal activity and breaking the laws enforced by corrupt corporations. I've seen a very common complaint with players saying they can't bring themselves to play a police officer or a government official in something like Delta Green because they cannot separate their own perception of the so-called real world enough to be play an LEO in any character guise, and yet the same people brush those feelings aside because the candy wrapper for another game is promotes something sweeter to their perception, and yet the character they are playing is, in fact, morally and ethically worse. Such morphing ethical lines is itself neither a "good" nor "bad" construct, it shows cognitive dissonance at work. Such mental gymnastics is a reminder that personal rationalizations are a more important human need than sex. [/QUOTE]
