Yep.

I'm currently holding the viewpoint that this whole thing is completely
superfluous. Who cares if cyberware changes your psyche or not? If you think
it does, go ahead be my guest and play a lunatic; if you think it doesn't,
then don't. Though maybe it would be nice playing a real civlized street
samurai with an Essence of 0... "Yes, my good fellow, I used to be _quite_
rude and mis-behaved, until I bought all this /marvelous/ cyberware... It
completely changed my personality around..." :)
