Sure, but their complaint is still fairly unfounded because it’s a change that makes sense IMHO. The previous behavior allowed you to ``“knock out” most enemies but that mechanic did… Nothing. It was virtually identical to killing the enemies. I can’t think of any circumstances where knocking someone out actually made an in game difference later in the story compared to killing them, but there could have been some rare ones.

Making it so the mechanic works and there are story consequences to using it isn’t justification for yet another article about “gamers vs women”

Adding to that that laezel will be less abrasive (she’s still definitely not lovey-dovey) to someone who, by the game’s mechanics, she is “thrilled with” and exceptionally approving of… Yeah. Not worthy of this abrasive title
