Broken Roads will let you play the entire game as a pacifist if you want
Local developer Drop Bear Bytes and publisher Versus Evil have released a new trailer for Broken Roads, which shows off the ability for players to enjoy the game, without killing anyone or even combat. The game is on track to release on PC, Switch, PlayStation and Xbox later this year.
It is important to note that pacifist playthroughs will only be possible for certain character builds. Just because you won’t be getting into fisticuffs doesn’t mean your adventure will be easy though, as to complete the game as a pacifist, you’re going to have to really think about your decisions, the reactions of your companions to your choices, the interests of the people and factions you’re encountering and - of course - the kinds of quest resolutions you decide to pursue. For instance, you probably shouldn’t go accepting a mercenary hit job or running around pissing everyone off and expect there won’t be violent repercussions.
The game has no set date yet, but is on track for a late 2023 release
