Eddo36 Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 I think that it would be neat if there were non-lethal weapons or items that can knock out an opponent instead of killing him. Maybe if they show up again later in the game, they'll be grateful that you spared them. Or maybe they'll be even more angrier at you because you knocked them out. Depends on the character. Trying to knock out an opponent should be much harder than just simply killing him, but that's the trade-off if you want to be a goody-goody. Some players won't see a need for using non-lethal option and just kill everyone in the map. Others don't like to kill and want to give it a try. And also if you really like a character in the game, and you have to fight him, but don't want to kill him, then there's that option. However, on the big bosses or main bad guys, non-lethal don't work and you have to kill them or be killed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddo36 Posted August 26, 2004 Author Share Posted August 26, 2004 And maybe, as an example scenario, you face a squad of enemy mercs. If you kill them all, they all die of course. But if you knock out half of them and kill the the other half, then the half you spared will wake up later and you find out that you are on their side, and they help you attack other enemies nearby. I'm not good with scenarios, but you get the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daaave Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 Good ideas. Just because you're a bit thinner than your even fatter mum it doesn't mean you're in excellent physical shape, if you could fit through the door and view the normal people you'd notice that cheeseburger boy. Squid suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddo36 Posted August 26, 2004 Author Share Posted August 26, 2004 Thanks. And maybe knocked out people will wake up after a set amount of time, feeling grateful or angry at you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adria Teksuni Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 Well, they had the Black Vulkar Stun Batons in the first one, but they ended up killing people too...*sigh* Someone who you did knock out coming back at a later time would be a pretty cool sidequest or even minour incident. Never assume malice when stupidity is to blame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dead Skin Mask Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 I think this would be your class in D&D Eddo36 Pacifist Cleric There are plenty of ways to play clerics in D&D, but for some reason this one never caught on. Dungeon Master: The orcs attack your party! Pacifist Cleric: I remind them that violence solves nothing. Dungeon Master: Okay ... they all decide to attack you. Pacifist Cleric: I set myself on fire! Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddo36 Posted August 27, 2004 Author Share Posted August 27, 2004 Haha I'm not pacifist, though I'm sure that there are lots of players out there that are. I like killing all the bad guys in the game personally, though I wish that I could spare a few that I like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case it might be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dual Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 It would be nice to not have to kill hundreds of people while on the 'light' path. Atleast you should be able to intimidate more people. In some cases you had the option to scare off people but not many. Also through out the game people just dont treat you with respect no matter how many people just like them I have already killed. Perhaps towards the end low down people could realise they're no match and run off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
