« on: February 26, 2013, 09:41:56 pm »

for some reason i cant kidnap anyone without it sayin "all of the targets are to dangerous" or I just straight up kill em.There has to a way if you have martial arts skill or something you can just knock them out.

This happens when they have weapons. Certain targets, like soldiers and police officers, will always be armed and can't be kidnapped on site unless they're badly injured. Other targets that don't always have weapons may be carrying at random; this is especially common in Nightmare Mode, where many people carry guns in public.

If you need to kidnap someone who is normally too well-armed, you can drop a pickup line and then try to kidnap them on the date. They won't bring their weapons along on the date, so you have a much better chance of success there. Dangerous targets may still cause you problems, though; don't expect police to always submit to kidnapping, even if you're armed and they aren't.

So how come this works with conservative celebrities who use persuasion attacks against you?  ;)

Persuasion attacks don't impact your ability to kidnap enemies, but sometimes enemies that don't attack with weapons still have them equipped. The CEO, for example, will have a handgun, but won't use it except to ward off kidnapping.

But imagine how badass it would be for a strong/agile character with good MA skill to be able to disarm the person and kidnap them in one move!

Or if the fight goes for more than one round (trying to injure rather than kill, for instance...); CEOs can and do shoot Liberals with their DE50AE BLOWING THE LIBERAL'S HEAD OFF!!!

I'm making a turned CEO squad via the date then kidnap routine.  If I try to beat them into submission on site I just accidently kill them.
