[QUOTE="Bront, post: 2287939, member: 19696"] Media and stories have glamorized the "Anti-hero" which is anyone from the good hearted smuggler who has some good in him, to the guy who is simply less evil than the bad guys. Your straight true blue heroes aren't as romanticized as they once were, because people want to cheer for the anti-hero. And you can even see it in the replies to this thread. Personaly, when I RP, I tend to swing towards mostly heroic qualities, because I find it enjoyable, and even the most dark characters I play usually has a line he will not cross. However, I see others who prefer darker heroes, or even evil PCs. It's just a shift in how people think. Similar to your heroic qualities, one of my favorite CRPGs of all time, Ultima 4, had the 8 aspects of the avatar, Compassion, Honor, Honesty, Humility, Justice, Sacrifice, Spirituality, and Valor. And just about every action you took had an impact on these. And finaly being honored by being an avatar of each virture was always a special feeling, even in the game. But that's just me. [/QUOTE]
