      Interesting contrast, in Rockstar Studios you play as an overworked developer struggling to make ends meet.

        There's a mission where you go walk through an old man's repossessed house and look for his personal belongings so he can have at least the dignity of his memories, even though he's now homeless as a result of losing his job. All the items and letters you pick up get a somber voiceover read and it's more meditative than most of the missions you get. Definitely meant to try and inspire sympathy in the old man's plight.

        Anyways, you find out that his job was slave catcher and he was proud to be one. So when you go back to give him his things, Arthur instead insults him to his face and throws his recovered last personal possessions into a fire. Owned.

        Game leaves it up to you to kill the slave catcher or walk away.

      You get to murder all four kinds of US troops - Union, Confederate, KKK, and cops.

      That game has totally incoherent politics, though. The protagonists are mostly mass murderers who have killed hundreds of people, but the game tries to sell this "found family doing what they have to in a harsh world" and it never gels because the last mission required you to murder like forty random dudes in some town.
