When I GM I usually bump up the point value of Pacifist to 10/15 as my players and I feel that it is more limiting then the 5/10 is represented as a hole your more likely to find runners, gangers and Made-men think a pacifist is a wimp rather then respecting them, I make a weighted roll to see how each npc would feel about it if the background doesn't dictate it.
The dark streets can be a bad place if say the local gangers think your a wimp
