A Plague Tale: Requiem – Should You Kill Enemies?

Much like its predecessor, A Plague Tale: Requiem gives you the freedom to either kill your enemies, or simply sneak past them. Thankfully, if you do choose to go on a murderous rampage and kill all the enemies, there’s no real long-term repercussions to worry about.

NPCs may make a bit of fuss about you killing enemies, which may make you think that there are narrative consequences down the line, but the reality is, no matter how many enemies you kill, you’ll still arrive at the game’s only ending.

A Plague Tale: Requiem – How Does Killing Enemies Impact the Gameplay?

It’s worth noting that if you do kill a lot of enemies, most of your Skill experience will naturally go towards the Aggression skill tree, meaning you’ll be unlocking more destructive skills and upgrades rather than some of the more stealth-centric options that the game also offers.

So, there you have it. We hope this helped to clue you in on whether you should kill enemies in A Plague Tale: Requiem. For more, feel free to check out the relevant links down below.
