The player (person) has two obvious choices.ДЎ) Return the briefcase with its contents In a very basic moral scenario in the real world. I don't remember when was the last time i felt that way about the game. And that last chapter alone with good ending made me so happy that i went with Pacifist run and excited for franchise potential. Interesting characters and environments supported by good story. So again you are punished if you go with Pacifist route.Д«ut after all of that frustration you have really amazing atmosphere and lore. And if you combine that with leveling issue i mentioned above you can see the problem. You go around and explore map and they pop up and if you don't do them that same night they are dead by the next night. And another thing that made me go insane are save citizen quests. But at the same time if you kill NPCs you get so OP that game becomes really easy. It's really hard to find some and even buy it so you can't even base your build on guns because game doesn't want you to be OP with guns. But game doesn't offer you anything to counter that, there is no stealth, you must fight.ДЄnother thing that is related to this is how resources are handled.

You can't move anywhere around city without encountering enemies and they can get far above your level that you get trashed. From Story perspective game pushes you more to be good and not kill but from gameplay perspective it punishes you so hard that it gets frustrating. But then comes chapter 4 and boy does things get unbalanced. If you decide not to kill any NPC (Pacifist run) you will get enough XP to not be too underleveled and not being able to tackle enemies. Game starts great and for the first 3 chapters it is well balanced. It took me almost 33h to finish my Pacifist playthrough and big chunk of that time was 'wasted' due to really unbalanced game design due to developers not wanting to commit to anything. Last weekend i finished Vampyr on my Steam Deck (i must say it was great experience paying it on Deck) and i really had love/hate relationship with the game while i was playing it.
