DAD,

Ah yes, I see you're right.
Though, do you think that people would've played a game when you start as a 13 years old boy kicked arround and your goal is to become someone special?
I doubt it. People play RPGs to be a superhuman being. Maybe a very skilled swordsman, a very wise druid, a powerful mage.
I agree, none of those are true heroes, yet Superman is considered more heroic than, let's say, Martin Luther King Jr., agree?
Returning home? I can't say I cared that the hero in DD is homeless,[btw, he is NOT homeless if you buy Malcolm's house in Visdistis] really.
Actually MANY heroes are homeless and not many players complained before.
