melee damage = kill damage?

[moonsword]

If I knock someone out by melee damage, does it count as kill?
If not, it would be nice to change it this way.

 

[Frop]

Well, in theory you could look up the amount of murders in the Codex, proceed to punch someone until they flop over and then check the Codex again. But who has time for that?

 

[CMDR Ylion]

there is no way to take an enemy out in a non-lethal way.
it always counts as a kill and will trigger a mission fail if it is a non-violent mission.

 

[LeoBartlet]

Does anyone but me think they only made takedowns lethal because they didn't want to animate NPC to get back up off the ground?

Everything is a kill, EDO has no 'unconscious' state.

How dare you make such an insinuation, you rebel scum...

That explains why we can't buy drinks at the bar - drink too much -> pass out -> dead

 

[The Roofus]

I agree, because as we know no-one has ever been "beaten to death"

NPCs actually get a little K.O. icon depicting a couple spinning stars after you tase them with the energy link, but it's not treated as such and instead as a kill.

The lack of non-lethal takedown is ironically because of content age restrictions. Killing is okay but if you KO someone and then kill them when they're helpless the game would lose it's current rating.

Also why everyone on a base is armed, including scientists and technicians

Have you never worked in McDonalds before? It's normal.

Ahhh, see I was a Burger King working lad - but part of the training was to tell us if a Macca's employee was sighted on company grounds we were to head to the panic room and call the cops.

That sounds like a good tactic, especially as many of them are unhinged from all the solvents used in cooking their .... fries. ...

Have you seen what players do?

But... but... NPCs can kill us even if we are helpless

Maybe the codex doesn't update in real time?

Wait wait wait, are you saying that guy who's sprawled on the bench with his eyes closed and mouth hanging open in the concourse is just pretending to sleep?!

He's not pretending to sleep, just taking a break from pretending to be awake.

No, he's saying he's dead, Jim.

Serious question, it's a ratings thing isn't it? Or is alcohol permitted in PEGI whatever E is?
