Make it clear you are murdering Dave the poet
It's sometimes hard to tell if you are killing an NPC opponent for forever, or for the day, or for no long term consequence. In the spirit of "choices matter", I'm suggesting here to make it clearer that you are making a choice about killing Dave the poet explicitly.
If you've spent time on the quad during the protest, you can kill hipsters indiscriminately (I think?), but suddenly after the protest there are long-term consequences for killing the one hipster on the quad, but not, say, killing the hipster in the museum. I think he might be the only "NPC" that doesn't have a unique name or picture — can I suggest something like that? Thanks!
