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...


Knocking a person out is akin to killing them really - despite what movies would have us believe it is highly traumatic to the brain and will cause long term brain damage if someone is out for more than 30 seconds.

It probably doesn't help that you then strip them of all their gear/. So they are wandering around a dangerous place with no gear and brain damage, they probably die.


Of course, we could argue that you are not "knocking them out" but incapacitating them by hitting them to the point they suffer muscle bruising and exhaustion. However, then they would still be technically conscious and you could speak with them.
