To clarify, by people I mean regular NPCs who aren't designated as existing in a stage of berserker rage at your existence, but just like guys walking around in a town.
Every gameplay I've seen of someone trying to shoot like a regular guy you can talk to seems to just result in the dumb incapacitation thing because its an essential NPC.
The thing about Bethesda is that they're the only ones who make RPGs in that specific open-world style. It'd be nice if we saw another studio take a crack at it
