but the real world issue here is a basic difference in mentality & behavior, which becomes an in-game issue because it's also the mentality & behavior of their in-game avatars, and from the roleplayer's eyes, their characters.

i don't see why conflict over behavior & mentality of other characters can break immersion. throughout history conflict over those two issues is probably the most common cultural conflict of all (second only to land & resources).
