[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 8871627, member: 4534"] Are you sure about that? In the first movie, Decker was out of the blade running game and initially refused to go find Batty and his group. It wasn't until Bryant threated him that Decker agreed to this last job. In the second movie, K, or Joe if you prefer, is a replicant himself and certainly has as much choice as a vampire does. He can do his job or be retired. Hell, in the movie the police initially go after him because they notice he's poking his nose where it doesn't belong. Do you think runners are given the full information before they start? They likely believe the replicants to be robots because that's what they're told. They're not really people, so you don't murder them you retire them. From the 5th edition entry on Sirens, "You feed almost exclusively during or while feigning sex...you think of yourself as as sexy beast, but in your darkest moments, you fear that you're at best a problematic lover, at worst a habitual rapist." I'mm going to go ahead and ask, why is it okay for this kind of thing to go on off screen? One of the criticisms of [I]The Godfather[/I] is that we never see the negative impact the Corleon's business has on regular people which helps cast them in a more sympathetic light. Would we feel so badly for Sonny if we saw him squeezing protection money out of a small business owner just trying to get by? To me, it's more problematic to ignore the negative aspects of the monster you're supposed to be role playing. It's what leads to superheroes with fangs compaigns. [/QUOTE]
