Its totally fun. I have an informal legacy - informal because I still cheat a little and I don't keep score - and I killed off one patriarch just for pissing me off. It felt good - especially since everyone has the stone hearted bonus and he wasn't missed. I may be slightly evil, because I'm still smiling at the memory.

But in my defense, he was level 8 political career with a LTW to get to level 10 and he used free will to quit his job when I was trying to age up his twin daughters. He took advantage of a situation, and I made an example of him. Also, I started saving more because not saving enough is why killing him was easier than quitting and starting the game again.
