I had a similar experience in a Legend of the Five Rings game recently, one
of the players couldn't cope with her character being ordered to brutally
suppress a peasant uprising. She just couldn't put herself in the mindset of
a samurai in that respect, the value of human life kept getting in the way.
She had a similar problem playing her favourite Gloranthan character, a
trollkin. That little weirdo had table manners and felt sorry for small
furry creatures, she had a fit when her character's pet mouse was eaten by a
Telmori, and not because her character wanted to eat it either. Some people
can cope with putting themselves in a cruel and callous mindset, some can't,
some simply don't want to. I find it difficult but rewarding. Good luck to
you, have fun in whatever you do.
