[QUOTE="Grendel_Khan, post: 8797522, member: 7028554"] I don't think any of us who've pointed to Delta Green as an example of playing the bad guys are necessarily saying that you're playing clear-cut, moustache-twirling villains. But it definitely up-ends a lot of common tropes—in basically any other story where unsanctioned federal agents are not only suppressing the crusading journalist's bombshell expose, but possibly framing or even killing the journalist, those feds would be the bad guys. So your reasons might be righteous and considered, but you're certainly no great hero. And I think it's worth considering the subtext of Delta Green, and who's writing it. The Arc Dream crew is not exactly composed of cop-loving supporters of the wars on terrorism/drugs/other countries. And yet they've made a game where you play what are essentially unhinged super cops. You're playing out a tragedy in DG, by playing products of past tragedies. It's a dark game! [/QUOTE]
