Not to mention it's pretty one-dimensional to expect everyone to be grizzled and "tough". That'd be like expecting a guy like Sten in Dragon Age to be into biting kittens' heads off just because the guy is a powerhouse on the battlefield (when in reality the guy liked fine paintings, playing with kittens and picking flowers 0.o).
It has nothing to do with rough and tough adventure or anything you just said, it cheapens the game, just as he said. It makes the game feel cheap.
