Best RPGs for Pacifist Run and Completion Without Killing
In some role-playing games, such as Deus Ex or Fallout, you don't have to resort to violence to complete the game. What's more, the so-called "pacifist run" or non violent often turns out to be much more interesting or challenging than usual combat.

Undertale
The presence of this unusual and modest production in the list of pacifist RPGs was certain. And of course, while I was describing it, I listened to my beloved Megalovania playing in my headphones – it couldn't be otherwise! Undertale is an indistinct title that graphics may deter you, but if you turn a blind eye on it, you will be dragged into (literally!) this enchanting world of monsters.
Playing as the little girl, we try to survive in unusual circumstances, while solving the problems of the underworld inhabitants, as well as trying to solve the mystery of an ancient conflict between humans and monsters. And this is just scratching the surface of what lies ahead! Undertale is definitely worth giving a chance, at least to get to know Sansa, one of the more important characters.
And how does this relate to the "pacifist run" track, the main theme of this article? Undertale can be completed without exterminating a single creature, but it doesn't mean that there will be no clashes. Instead of killing the enemy, we can simply run away from the battlefield. The most persistent players, who do not earn any EXP/LOVE points during the game and meet several other requirements (the list is quite long), will be rewarded with a special ending called "True Pacifist Route."
It's different from the usual Undertale epilogue and definitely worth attempting it, even if it would mean asking "Uncle Google" for assistance. On my end, I encourage you to restart the game after you complete it "pacifist way" to hear what one of the characters will tell us.
