Comment on RPGs that are optionally pacifist?

  I will never forgive Dishonored for glitching the peaceful achievement on the Xbox 360. I went out of my way to not kill anyone and it was still locked when the credits rolled. I remember there was some funkyness with knocked out enemies dying from external factors.

  Dishonored is an RPG. It also adjusts the world based on your body count, with corruption getting worse as you kill people.

      There’s a skill tree, equipment (not clothing/weapons like most RPGs, but still equipment), and crafting. That’s enough to make it an RPG mechanically.

      There’s also the perspective definition. You are embodying a person separate from yourself and you are expected to make choices as them. Textbook RPG.

  +1 for the sytx games. Freaking hard to be a ghost.
