If you sell a game that’s a first-person shooter, then no matter how many RPG elements you shoe-horn into the game, the shadow that hangs over every character interaction that you have, no matter who they are, is the question in the player’s mind of “What happens if I shoot this person?“

And that’s our own fault! We’ve sold the player that; we’ve made a contract with the player that says it’s okay to kill people. Why would we then chastise them for exploring that?”
