Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Build Discussion Baldur's Gate 3 and non-lethal damage

Good evening, I'm opening a dedicated topic to get your impressions on the implementation of non-lethal damage in the game.

I think it would be nice to see actual consequences if the player decides to fight without killing, especially with respect to the main characters.

Minthara, Lae'zel, or any other character you purposely or unintentionally find yourself fighting.

A broader implementation could also concern secondary characters. How fun it would be to knock out. a merchant without killing him and finding him later angry about what happened previously?

What do you think?

There are 2 specific encounters that I am aware of that require the use of non-lethal combat to obtain certain outcomes. Providing such outcomes in all encounters would be a rather daunting task considering the confines of the media. And Larain did not turn a blind eye to this potential outcome of combat. Some scenes do alter under various circumstances.
