So you know you are dedicated to something when...

... you punch a governor of a town in the face, get stabbed in the stomach, kill said governor, destroy the building all the witnesses occupied with a salvo from a tri-cannon, hunt down another ship, blow it up, then rob the dock security that is holding the salvaged cargo from the wreck while planting bombs on dock tri-cannon turrets, all for one birth certificate.

((Assuming this is one of those games)) Sounds like a ton of fun.

... after waking up with nasty burns on your back, you find out you can be "plugged into" the AI's memories and have stuff downloaded, then have the language you've been running around translating downloaded into your brain, suffer through a headache, and have more data downloaded consisting of the basics of a language with nothing but ones and zeroes.

...When you look a red drake in the eye and say "I can take it." Even though the GM says otherwise and warns against it. Best choice I ever made.

...when your building, building, building, building, building, building, building, building, building, building, building, building, building, building, building, building, building, building, building, building, building, building, building, build-- SUPRISE ATTACK BY SUBS!!!, you run away to a safe distance (in a sub ship) and despite having a guaranteed chance of escape especially when your captors think your dead, you return to the ambushed fleet to 'get back to your project' and shout 'I'M ALIVE!' from the same type of ship used during the attack, they fire upon on, and you still race to secure the project even under fire from 100 SHIPS! And manage to escape, WITH your original fleet in tow!! And your precious rocketship secured......but unable to build anymore:'(

....When you take out ~ 500 pirates without alerting a soul. All anyone heard was the unsettling silence that fell upon the land....and a grenade....and one AA gun exploding. Other that it was relatively quite.
