Do you kill enemies?

[madFive]

Call me paranoid, but my general policy is to leave nothing standing that could possibly be considered hostile! (I'm addicted to fps' - what can I say.) At least the creatures in penumbra don't seem to re-spawn, which was a welcome relief.

Besides that, I was never able to successfully sneak past any of the creatures in this game. Even when I tried sneaking, they inevitably spotted me and charged, at which times my weapon of choice was the pick-axe. I was also never able to pull off a physics kill - throwing things just seems to temporarily stun an enemy, after which I still had to use the pick-axe to finish the job.
