"Fallout 4" is easily one of the best video game to be released in 2015. The game's massive content opens up a lot of gameplay possibility depending on how players want to play it, most of the time it requires them to commit murder.
Despite this, gamers still find clever ways to beat the game and latest reports claim that a player was able to finish the game without spilling a drop of blood.
Kyle Hickley was able to clear "Fallout 4" without killing any human, mutant or inhabitant of the game. His game statistics feature a straight zero record across all of his combat stats.
Hickley's historic achievement was first reported by Kotaku. In an exclusive interview with the blog, he said, "I'm a little disappointed in the lack of diplomatic solutions in this game, it's a lonely departure from the rest of the Fallout series. My version of pacifism isn't really diplomatic, it's more exploitative of the game mechanics to achieve a zero-kill record."
Reviewing Hickley's game strategy, experts believe that he was able to manipulate the game itself rather than the character the he play. Experts noted that he used a hefty amount of stats to upgrade his character's charisma which allows him to pacify enemies by simply pointing a gun at them, sometimes even persuading the enemies to fight for his side.
Reviewing Hickley's strategy also reveal that he used a lot of rerun in order to maximize his character's perks. A rerun means that a player has to do a certain gameplay strategy over and over again in order to get their desired effect.
According to Destructoid, playing Hickley's gameplay strategy requires patience and a lot of time in order to successfully execute it. In one boss fight, he spent at least five hours in order to complete the stage without killing the boss.
