This is what I agree with. I would like to see more "realistic"
runners, both in the novels and in the game. I have played (and GMed)
many games where the players get out of control, because of what the
books were like. New players are especially bad about this. They
either come from another system where this is prevelent or they read the
SR novels for ideas, and get the wrong ideas.

I started playing SR because of the "realism" involved -- people you
could relate to, doing things that you could imagine. With this Epic
turn of events, I have a hard time realting, or even imagining anymore.
