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.

Bonus: Postal 2
Yes, we know that Postal 2 is not an RPG, and consequently, it should not be included in this list. However, I decided to mention it as a curiosity. After all, this is a product associated with brutality, using cat as silencer, and peeing – and yet it does have its "pacifist run." And for that, it deserves appropriate recognition. It is worth mentioning here, however, that there will be violence anyway.
Being a pacifist in Postal 2 is an extremely difficult task. This is because you'll have to hurt your opponents in such a way that you don't kill them. For this, robots should be deactivated with your own urine instead of shooting them. How do you in turn eliminate people? Use a volt-rich baton with a stun gun. Eventually, you can also shoot, but not quite so much – just a little bit, not fatally. Sounds ridiculous, right?
But it turns out that there is a method in this madness, and there is even an unusual gratification waiting for you! If you manage to finish Postal 2 in this way, you will be rewarded with the message: "Thanks for playing, JESUS". Because of this achievement, the pacifist mode in this game was baptized "Jesus Run". I'm amazed that the developers even thought of such a possibility.
