[Dragaera] Vlad and Grand Theft Auto

[Tom Foolery]

Hi all,

My apologies for suddenly becoming quiet just as things got interesting, but
I got my hands on Grand Theft Auto IV, and being a kid at heart, I was
absorbed in it.

While playing it, I was astounded at how many parallels that could be found
between the game, which offers a more mature look at the genre than previous
iterations (though one could still be as amoral as you wished), and Vladimir
Taltos and his ethical quandaries.

I do not wish to sound like an advertisement for the game, suffice to say I
enjoyed it and found that some of the questions it asked to be similar to
the problems that Vlad has.  I would be interested in knowing if anyone else
has played the game and could discuss this with me.  This version of the
game has quite a bit of assassination in it, and the main character asks,
basically, "What am I to do with my since dealing death is all I am good
at?" while downplaying the aspects of himself that are decent and good.
