In games that give you a choice between using lethal or non-lethal force in order to overcome enemies, the former method is usually the most convenient. Some gamers [[Self-Imposed Challenge|like to play through such games]] while avoiding any killings that are not absolutely required, even if [[Bragging Rights Reward|there is no real reward]] for doing so.

* The ''[[Fallout]]'' series is notable for the possibility of not needing to kill anyone, although you ''will'' be indirectly responsible for the deaths of quite a few people (and, in some cases, populations). In most of the series it is even possible (although very hard) to do an ''evil'' pacifist run.

** ''[[Fallout 3]]'' is, however, impossible to complete without directly killing anything. It starts with the requirement to kill a radroach to complete the second tutorial, and moves on from there.
