  I think you can only be non-lethal, not truly pacifist, if someone cares about this difference. You still need to knock people out and do stuff to them, even if they don’t die by your hand.

    Also some of the “non-lethal” fates you subject people to are way worse than just killing them.

      Sending one lady away with her stalker, or frying the brain of a “genius”, just to name a couple.

        The lady with the stalker actually kills him a couple of years later and lives the rest of her life peacefuly and secluded off of his fortune. (According to the wiki)

        I think frying that guy’s brain was a lethal option, but the worse one from that level is the brothers who have their tongues torn out and get thrown into their own mines as slaves. Corvo’s blade really is the kinder option!

  I came to say this The game actually discouraged violence. The more people you killed the more police rat swarms you have to deal with.
