Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tsyr" data-source="post: 1041505" data-attributes="member: 354">That's the whole point, though.Sure. It may not be your idea of an ideal life, but like I said... Edible, nourishing food, a decent place to live, probably some basic health care (Depending on your corp, probably up to and including basic cyber replacements, and depending on your job description, some might even be included... datajacks, for example) and even the poorest saleryman has access to some luxuries, even if it's nothing more than basic trid access. Shadowrunners, however, aren't content to live "in the system", and go around causing trouble, attacking these corporations, and their holdings, in what is basicly a selfish desire to improve their own state of being without doing it through the usual channels. Most people get along just fine with the system the way it is, though. Most shadowrunners, at best pay lip service to the notion of changing the world for the better. But really, lets be honest, most would laugh in your face if you suggested such a thing.Sure. Some Shadowrunners were forced into their lifestyle... Heck, maybe even most, depending on your particular view of the Shadowrun world... But that doesn't mean they are anything other than criminals, fighting a working (If not, in your mind, ideal) system. And it's not a system that is all bad, either... It's not like they are slaves, rising up to overthrow their cruel masters, or something noble and heroic like that.</blockquote>
