I think the whole honour, karma thing doesn't work out in many games anyway. It is kind of awkward when I'm tying up a woman and John is making some real asshole remarks while doing it which completely defies the kind of person he is in the cutscenes. Maybe John is truly an evil guy but acts more nuetral when in conversation with that can help him. Maybe he's just using the people that are helping him so he can he can reach his goal. I know his goal is noble but no matter how noble it might be it's still wrong to use people in the long run. Maybe its the whole Jackal and Mr Hyde personality perhaps. Personally I don't like to relate the John I play and the John in the cutscenes and I like to seperate them as different people. In any case it is a game where the player should have control on his action wether he is good or bad character in the story. It doesn't fit in with his character but to the majority of players they won't really care about it and they'd spend most they're time jumping around throwing knives in peoples head. Altering the custscenes to how "your" John acts would be a lot of hard work on rockstars part anyway.
