There are many innocent civilizians in Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Assuming I don't do so in sight of a police officer, are there any consquences to killing civilizians, or am I free to soak Detroit red with the blood of its people?

They don't provide XP or loot for the most part though, so only sadists need apply. – Raven Dreamer♦ Sep 5 '11 at 14:55
I'd call that masochism too, since you're causing yourself a lot of annoyance and using a lot of time to kill people that are of no threat to you. – jprete Sep 5 '11 at 17:51

Nope, it only wastes bullets/battery. Civilians never carry or drop any loot. – Ingmar Sep 6 '11 at 4:40

As far as I have been able to determine there is no downside aside from not getting Ghost or Smooth Operator bonuses.
