I spent most of my time playing for this second session on foot running around the urban areas of San Andreas, and doing some of the missions that I could find. In almost all of the missions that you do, you are breaking the law in some way. Most require you to kill one or multiple people, and almost all of them require you to do something that would normally put you in jail. The question that I thought of though is, are you doing these missions solely for the monetary gain, or are you doing them to help out the people that you value? Also what is the threshold to how bad an action can be before it is deemed too much to do for one of your colleagues? It seemed like the main character had extremely low standards and would pretty much do anything that his bosses asked him to do. The next thought is that is the character the one with no morals, or is it the player? The player could easily say no and decide not to kill 15 gang members to gain reputation with their boss, but that would also inhibit your progress overall in the game. The game itself is really pushing the player to go out and murder and pillage at will, and in essence break their own moral codes.
