To be clear, you can run away and hide. The only times I’ve been insta caught are when a guard is inches from me, facing me, because wtf is my character going to do with a blaster rifle in her face, she’s just a smuggler not a jedi
But typically, when a guard sees you from afar they go yellow and walk in your direction, checking out the disturbance and you have a split second to find cover or get away. If you fail to then yes you’re caught.
To be fair I am yet to understand why a restricted area means I can’t use my pistol, but I can sneak up on them and take them out with melee…or have Nix attack them and using one of the upgrade abilities have them shoot wildly during that and thus kill their own buddy next to them, and that’s fine? Why couldn’t I pull out my own pistol and ice them both myself
I dont understand the “Ubisoft Game” comments, it is nothing like AC or Farcry. Is it super complex? No. Is it a large and beautifully detailed world? Absolutely. The story is stellar, loving it so far and still not done. The worlds and environments are fantastic. Would I buy it at the moment? Only if you are a big Star Wars fan, otherwise its entirely single player, you’re not missing out if you wait for a sale in a little while
Damn what a way to say “I don’t play or understand this game at all”
