Learn about interacting with women in Duke Nukem 3D, including the risks of killing them and potential rewards.
You will find women all over your travels in Duke Nukem 3D. They will either be encased in green alien sludge or just standing around. You can interact with them by pressing the USE key (the key used to activate objects or use items). Those so encased will ask you to slay them, which is highly not recommended. Otherwise, Duke will give them some money, which they may reciprocate with another service.
Warning: Killing a babe outright is not recommended. Besides being ethically questionable, it will warp in angry aliens that will attack you instantly – sometimes even Battlelords. Be careful where you shoot when a babe is nearby. Alas, even enemies can inadvertently kill a babe, so you may find yourself killing additional enemies anyways. Also, a Babe may impede your progress to finding a hidden room or acquiring an item, so it may be an unavoidable evil in these situations.
