Guess how many people you can kill in DX!

Post by AgentSmithereens »

Over the past few weeks I've set myself a project - to find out the maximum number of people (no transgenics, bots or cats) JC can kill in the game. Today I finished and found my answer - and it is incredible!

But before I give away the answer I challenge you to guess it - no cheating (eg looking in UEd) - unfortunately there will be no prize, but ya'know...

I'll check back in a few days, let's say Wednesday, to give you the answer (which includes some very thorough stats) and in the meantime if your guesses are crap, I may give a hint or 2.

Looking in UEd? How much time do you think I have on my hands!?

I remember the devs saying there are 200 unique NPC's in the game, or something, but there's obviously a load more doublegangers, so let's say... 2000. It's a big game.

Also you have too much time on your hands.

Not really; this save took 13 hours and that's basically an hour every day I don't have any stuff to do.
Also, your guess was way off ;)

Hint no. 1 - yes, you can
You're the closest so far I think.

I've done that on a couple play throughs. Kill everyone. Kill enemies, NPCs, friendlies, birds, cats...Don't leave a level that isn't emptied. It's interesting to see some of the different conversations triggered, but nothing much happens, aside from part of your soul withering into mulch :)

Hmm I guess I will need to play through again to find out ^^ those unatco guys suck to kill though... Its like playing halo and killing your allies (fun but you and your soul will die)

That's kinda stupid when he's already revealed that Dead-eye was closer.

I will SEE your 412, and RAISE you with another 412 to get 824.

Could've been worse: you could've gone for 413, and then That Guy could've chosen 411.

And you would've been bastards. :D
