You need to deliberately execute Cyberpsychos, for instance.
And even when you decide not to use all those options, important characters still don't die. There are so many non-lethal options, from hacking, to melee weapons, to cybermods that make all your guns non-lethal. It's so easy to go non-lethal that you have to deliberately go the murderous route. I was so disappointed by this, that I never even touched on the next game (Mankind Divided) because in the footage they made it clear that going non-lethal was going to be even easier than before, giving you perfectly effective long ranged options on top of the already optimal system there was.Īnd now Cyberpunk has done the same thing. It was just the optimal way to play through the game, no need to engage with any of the shooting mechanics. The only problem was that not only was this approach easier than going the lethal way, it was also cheaper AND gave you more experience. Much later came Deus Ex: Human Revolution and they wanted to honor the original and thus built in the possibility for a pacifist run. Yes, there was the non-lethal crossbow, but you didn't have a shitload of ammo for it. Not killing anyone was very difficult and took a lot of creativity and careful progressing, avoiding boss battles, and going in for melee takedowns to avoid using lethal ranged weapons. I've had a stick up my ass about pacifist/non-lethal mechanics in games for a while now.īack in the days of Deus Ex, the first one from 2000, going for a pacifist run was hard.
