Food... Slaughter?, First Shadowrun and Morality in P&PRPG's Options

[bellis]

Just ran our first Shadowrun session, and it was awesome. Feel a little strange because we RP'd pretty hardcore... We ran that introductory adventure, Food Fight, right? Typically in the games we've played before we would run an adventure if an event like this happened we would stop or kill the bad guys, but since we're criminals (I play a Vory Orc Assassin) SPOILER IF YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED FOOD FIGHT it made sense ingame to kill all the witnesses. My fellow player cast some spell that allowed her to command the mage leader of the gang to do things (haven't played a mage yet; just focusing on my assassin character so far so not sure what the name of the spell was - you all probably know) she told him to do. She told him to overcast a spell and it ended up blowing up the inside of the stuffer shack, killing everyone inside (all witnesses). Is this normal for Shadowrun? The chaotic good part of me feels kind of yucky about it, but the gamer who hates the idea of black and white alignment system'd games kind of loved it. This is what playing a killer for hire is like, right? Have any of you had experiences like this?
