Two enemies in The Outer Worlds 2 apparently make it "impossible" to complete a pacifist run, which one unfortunate player has learned the hard way.
Although The Outer Worlds 2 has noticeably better gunplay than the first game and you can feasibly go around killing pretty much anyone you like, I think we're all in agreement that talking, sneaking, and tricking your way out of situations is the best way to play. With that in mind, the most dedicated players are likely to attempt a pacifist run where they complete the game without killing anyone.
Pacifist runs have been doable in previous Obsidian games like Fallout New Vegas and even the first Outer Worlds, so you'd expect that to be true of The Outer Worlds 2 as well.
