Murder

[Sir. Stein]

let us be able to kill people, sometimes a burglary goes wrong and you know I might have to wack their skull with a hammer a few times ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This is why we're not allowed to kill people.

you can buy a hammer, baton, or even throw a wrench to knock them out.

Okay? thats not even a rebuttle or a counter-argument..... What difference does it make? Why shouldnt I be allowed to smash their skulls in in a hastly planned burglary?

I think the reason is that you simply don't need to kill them. You knock them down, loot their place, and leave the building. After that, all is forgiven and forgotten.
Also, killing an npc would require the game world to acknowledge their deaths, which it currently doesn't, as far as I've seen.
Hopefully in the future =)

When asked about a dead murder-victim, a partner or co-worker will state that they saw them somewhere AFTER they had died, which is ofcourse impossible.
There are some gaps in the code here which I hope will be addressed.

In my case, this only happened when the corpse was outdoors, in the middle of a street. People consider seeing the corpse as seeing the person. So for instance, everyone kept "seeing her" every day while going to work, this was a bit creepy

For me ive never encountered a pronoun when asking about if anyone was sus around the time the victim died, its always " they wear glasses" instead of actual helpful "He was wearing glasses" or "she was wearing glasses"

I dunno... because you're a detective and meant to be helping them? The fact you can beat the snot out of them, while realistic in modern times, is already a bit sus.

But if you want a counter point? NPCs don't respawn, the city doesn't repopulate; killing them would ruin your game. Who're you gonna rob, then?

[Sir. Stein]

Doesnt matter dont care, if im breaking into someones house and they spot me sometimes the best cause of action is to smash their skull in with a ball peen hammer or a wrench.... and I couldnt care if it doesnt repopulate. Its not like im going to kill the entire town. I just want to the option to kill for you know.... reasons?

if you kill someone it ♥♥♥♥♥ the game up. Something about the procedural generation not handling it well.
