If the system rewards this behaviour then it only magnifies the problem. You need to understand the base assumptions of the world in order to run it in a way that feels "right" at a subliminal level. Decipher's Lord of the Rings game does indeed have atrributes/feats that model loyalty and perservance to reflect this, though it is by no means perfect.</blockquote>
