You said it all, and in a beautiful manner on top of that.

What i thought was really interesting in this game is that you can become a monster by being desperate, murdering poor strangers just so you don't become hollow. It is the only game that has, in my opinion, instilled an urge to kill everything just to stay alive...or face disadvantages.

Like real life, playing fair is not the only way to victory, it is a more arduous one. That makes co-operation all the more rewarding.
