The Magnicifent Five mission was brutally hard to do non-lethal. In the closing stages the game flat out tells you to kill them:

I didn't, though.

On the score card it says 2 enemies killed, but you can also see that McCoy had zero kills and Hector had zero kills. Those are the only characters I played in this mission soooooo.... I'm confused, but I can assure you that I did not kill anyone, so my pacifist run is intact. 

It's only going to get more challenging from here on out.

Darth Whatsherface would try to justify this by explaining to you that the people you didn't kill went on and lived and killed two people who's deaths now are on you, and that your light side of the force pacifism was just as evil as the dark side.

Narrator: And blow to smithereens the bridge they did.

This level presented an extra challenge for my pacifist run; I had to make sure I got everybody off the bridge before I destroyed it. There was one particularly tricky thug I had to save. Knocking him out wasn't the issue. The problem was that where he was, on some scaffolding, I wouldn't be able to carry his body to terra firma, since none of the characters I had available in that part of the mission could carry a body up a ladder (Hector possibly can, but I didn't get to use him until after that part of the mission). To make matters worse, he was a poncho, so I couldn't lure him away from his post... at least not through conventional means.

 

I purposely got myself spotted by him, which raised an alarm and he started shooting at me and chasing me, this got him off the scaffolding, but also summoned more thugs. There was a ton of dying, especially since on desperado difficulty your characters have minuscule amounts of health, and save scumming involved, but eventually I was able to knock him and the other thugs out, one by one, in a shed as they came through the door.

Some nice modern touches to the old skool low poly aesthetic, like the driver's (in that car, most are not convertibles, so you don't see the driver) hair moves and it moves more when you go faster.

I really like the low poly aesthetic when it's done well, like it is here. Side benefit is that it runs buttery smooth.

Why is there a safe in the middle of town square? Why is a cannon pointed at it? Why is a cow on a balcony?

Is this about vampires or is it a metaphor about the spread of cancel culture in Hollywood? 😷

A woman who's a nip too much into smoky eye make-up, too. :biggrin: Also, I think anime is the perfect visual medium for "Choose a boy, a girl or a neither" protag, because you can't tell either way.

I enjoy how the entire squad shows up in instance cut scenes, like here, at the start of one of the Crystal Tower alliance raids (24man raids)
ffxiv_24042020_014517_248.png

Alexander...one of the raids with a rather interesting backstory (the giant robot is the raid, as in, his inside)
ffxiv_26042020_174451_974.png

Everyone's favourite character (after Alphinaud ;)), in one of my favourite locations: the steppes.
ffxiv_26042020_235042_664.png

One of the few MMOs where the player character actually has downtime and socializes with the people around her, like here, on the steppes...

Even time for some song and dance!
ffxiv_07052020_031340_741.png

Or just chillin' with the homies
ffxiv_12052020_034858_101.png

NPCs actually do useful stuff when you're not around...
ffxiv_02052020_230615_126.png

...like saving your life, from a distance (and looking cool while doing it)
ffxiv_02052020_232625_422.png

Bucket list: duel on the hand of a giant statue? Check!
ffxiv_05052020_000543_342.png

Meet Tiamat ... (poor girl :( )
ffxiv_07052020_005224_673.png

Was I the only one whose first thought was "Alistair Grout"?

^ One of these days, I really need to play Hellblade.

That game seems to scream "atmosphere".

It may scream atmosphere, but you know what it doesn't scream.

Now I'm sad that it doesn't. Hellblade will never recover in my eyes.

I guess I'm about 2/3 of the way through the game now.
