>>58752205There are a small handful of situations it definitely makes a difference but it's almost always ones where they make it super obvious that it does
While I can't really blame them, having to come up with alternate situations for being able to do every fight through non-lethal methods would be a huge undertaking in a game that already has more moving parts than it has any right to, I do wish it mattered in a few more fights where it'd be logical for it to though (like Minthara, or that insane Drow dude in the Underdark that hangs out with Hook Harpers and the Bulette so you could at least attempt to talk with him instead of just having to dig through his camp for context on what the fuck his deal is)
