The tension of all these games where you are put in a position of power and left to make decisions at your own discretion is the tension between your *responsibility* to do what's right and your desire to not be mean. That these kinds of roles inherently involve decisions that don't please everyone.

Lots of game designers do not realize that be a dick vs. don't be a dick is not an interesting choice. What you need is "be nice but ineffective" vs. "do your job and hurt people"
