<br>
Nonlethal weapons are on par with nonalcoholic beer. The big problem with nonlethal combat in CRPGs is modelling the behavior of the people after they wake up. It's kind of hard to make the reaction from a nonlethal encounter both generic and close enough to suspend disbelief.

HUR HUR HUR

 

Oh, you're still alive. B(

 

Did you ever get to call him, Nic? D:

 

has anybody played this game? I can figure out how to do stuff in cities, but once you get into space I don't have a fucking clue. I am supposed to investigte some mechs outside of the station. I go outside the station and there is absolutely nothing.

 

I tried to trick that slut chakl into doing it, but I GUESS NOT.

 

Wander around in the space outside the station for a while, then you should bump into the mechs you're looking for. It should be possible to see the encounte as a sensor blip on the map but there's something going wrong ATM.
