Talking about killing. Has anyone managed to bring a character back to live after just knocking him out with non-lethal dmg?
When freeing Halsin i just shot the lever to open his cage while i was hidden. When my turn came he was alredy hostile and i knocked him out. Could not rouse him again though...
Though hopefully this will be improved for the full release, non-lethal attacks are usually treated by the game exactly the same as killing (see, eg,
discussion here).
The only exception I’m aware of is Fezzerk the goblin, whom Wyll specifically suggests we knock out rather than kill. Not sure whether other characters who can surrender are the same … or indeed think of anyone else who does surrender apart from Ethel and Crusher.
That said, Halsin being hostile if you let him out of the cage without triggering the cutscene does potentially sound like a bug.
