Part of the fun is playing around with the different varaiables: what's fun for one is not fun for everyone, terrifying people can be very kind in context, your allies may not trust your friends, legitimate athourity is not always objectively 'better' than alternate systems, listen to the locals / listen to the oppressed, sometimes people care very much but can't do what you need [like brain surgery], there's a difference between evil / helpy / lacks social skills...
>>It can make the difference between hope and despair, or success and failure.<<
Isn't there a saying somewhere, to the effect of: "We all need somebody to worry if we dont come home at night,"?
We all need some sort of safe base to launch from.
