We’ve heard on the Polish Play magazine preview that
The developers are considering making the player able to complete the game without killing anyone, using only dialogues, sneaking and hacking.
Not quite, as Emil Pagliarulo reminds us:
I’ve found that, occasionally with European non-English mags, some stuff gets lost in translation. I think this is one of those cases.
We’ve been pretty upfront before about the fact that we haven’t designed the game so you could complete it without killing anyone. You can play MUCH of Fallout 3 without killing people, and there are options to talk your way through just about every situation in the game. But it’s a crazy, violent world out there, and you’re going to have to defend yourself at times.Just wanted to clear that up.

not surprising but still a bit disappointing.
