Right. But if you take out those conflicts entirely, are they still those characters? I mean, Right and Wrong and Law and Order and Justice are such a huge part of the context of the games. Is a Lyn with purely mundane concerns really Lyn?
Side characters translate easier, IMO, but the qualities that make game heroes the heroes, even flawed ones, tends to be lost in an AU... and when those qualities are cut out, sometimes what's left is really iffy.
