[QUOTE="Steampunkette, post: 8274557, member: 6796468"] Murderhobos don't just kill the questionably evil NPC. They also kill the Tavernkeeper. And the King's Guards. And the Shopkeeper. And the Beggar on the corner. And then they loot all the bodies. And possibly set fire to them. What you're describing is Role Morality. "We have been given this task. We will complete it independent of the morality of our actions and then get our reward." Same as the guy working for the insurance company that refuses to pay out on a little old lady's cancer claim because it would affect their bottom line. He'll pretend to care to the woman's face or over the phone, but still refuse to help her because the company he works for has a specific role for him. Then that guy goes home and has all the empathy in the world for his mother in-law who has cancer and is going through a rough time. [/QUOTE]
