Getting a grasp on other people's motivations is often difficult, especially when you don't know them, as is my case. But from what you say, that's the kind of game they want to play, and it seems like you're the target because you're a little... straightlaced? Is that a fair assessment? compaired to your friends that is.I still say you put too much blame on the DM. Your friends obviously want different things from the game than you. And obviously, you want to keep playing with them, but forcing them to play in your style isn't going to be any fun for them.I really think if you want to have any fun with this group, you'll have to accept that your friends don't want to play heroic characters, they want to go about raping the fields and burning the women. You need to find an angle and stick with it. Maybe your character doesn't want to leave since the other PCs are his friends, so you try to convert them. But the thing is, as harsh as this is, the reality is that you have to find a way to make things work. You can't put unfair expectations like that on your DM, since you're pretty soundly outvoted, and if  he forces the other players to your style of gaming, then they're going to be the ones complaining. He's really in a no-win situation, and while he could be a little more accomidating, he doesn't have a whole lot of options. And you could always ask your friends to knock it off, but if I know people, that'll just make it worse.</blockquote>
