Of course in game you can go with your own view/ideas. A group that sees themselves as good and following a goal that is worthy, but unaware that their plans are flawed and causing others pain, loss, and misery, is simply good drama. Heck, make the goal worthy and necessary, that makes the conflicts more dramatic.
