[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 8951033, member: 23751"] Whether it's scripted or unscripted doesn't matter. You are playing someone doing heinous things or you are playing someone opposed to it. Haaram: "We must kill those filthy slavers and releases those that they have captured!" Durga: "We must kill those filthy slavers and releases those that they have captured!" Which one of those is a scripted movie and which is an RPG character? How you come to your words and actions isn't better or worse if someone else wrote down the words for you to say or if you came up with those words yourself. Then don't play one! :) That's the great thing about roleplaying. We get to choose our characters and how we play them. We also get to choose our groups and can find like minded people. I'm personally comfortable playing heroes and villains, both as a player and a DM. I have played thieves, murderers, slavers, as well as those who hate thieves and catch them, PCs that hunt down villainous murderers and those who hate slavers with a passion. What I am not comfortable roleplaying on either side is rape. Nearly 40 years as a player and DM and that one has never been introduced by me on either side of the screen. We all have our limits on what is acceptable and what is not. It would be very hard, yes. Not impossible and some campaigns do go to level 20+. For those that do, changing the world is possible, though still very difficult. For those that don't, you can still oppose things locally and do some good, even if you can't change the world.
