can you paralyze/neutralize a npc ?

Well, technically a dead NPC is paralyzed, from the head downwards...
Unless you, you know... shut off the alarms and use a silenced weapon. If you do that, you do not incur bounties for eliminating people.
Well, it is weird. You can zap someone and knock them out. The icon and status says so. However, the game still treats it as a kill.
Unfortunately, you do. Alarms or no alarms, silenced weapon or not - it doesn't matter one bit in Odyssey.
Unless you are in an anarchy settlement (or killing a wanted person whom you scanned previously) you ALWAYS get an instant bounty.
I did not know that. I guess I remembered incorrectly. You can complete stealth missions without incurring bounties, but it's a huge pain because you have to slip past everyone using distractions and alarms to move the npcs around to where you want them. I mean, I knew anarchy systems were always preferred for the easy no-bounty lifestyle, but I totally thought you could snipe your way to victory in secure systems.
Good to know.
You cannot evade bounties in non-anarchy settlements. Your suit sees everything and always snitches on you.
"Hello, Mr. Wick. I understand you need a new suit for an evening event. I highly recommend this stealth model with bulletproof lining that tells everyone what you're doing at all times."
Odyssey "stealth" gameplay in a nutshell.
AWESOME FDEV game mechanics.
