there is something about living by your own judgment, maybe this is why the barbarian archetype still lingers, deep down, our ego never truly dies, it's just remains dormant.
Until you can finally release that selfishness, we have been burring for too long. and having the strength to preserve it.
When young Italians join the mafia, and they get money, power and woman. they become their own barbarian. in Mafia 2 arts where there is naked woman with a shadowy figure of a men with a gun.
