I don't think Soul directly correlates to morality.  Look at the NPCs, where often the most powerful adepts and avatars are also the least ethical.  Rather, Soul seems to be related to mystical aspects and to human interaction.  Obviously, mystical questions are at the best unclear in terms of real people, but your stereotypical roleplayer has some difficulty with social activity, and so could be given a low Soul score.

I wonder what you mean when you say 'confusing fantasy with reality'.  Most news stories about such involve claims that gaming causes violence, but even if we accept unquestioningly every account of a gamer going off and killing people because of reolplaying games (something we shouldn't do), then we (roleplayers) still statistically are much less likely to commit violent crimes than the rest of the population.

Mr. Teapot
hopes he doesn't cunfuse fantasy and reality much
