right, except in this scenario they gain absolutely nothing from being this brutal. There's a difference from immense greed and just sheer disregard for life, a massive lack of foresight and general incompetence. Haven't read it, but i agree with original commenter in which it just seems completely unnecessary.
if you've read it, could you tell me about it (specifically if the characters are just brutal for no reason)? It's a massive pet peeve of mine when characters act incredibly unrealistically like this, pushed by nothing but bad writing and plot convenience (or inconvenience)
