Question on Act 1 Finale (spoilers)

[Jupiter Spores]

At least I assume it's the Act 1 Finale. I'm trying to keep Camille and Raquel alive during the battle at the Triumph. It's kind of hard, I've tried twice and they went down each time. Is there any point to reloading and trying a third time, or is this the last of their reactivity in the story?

The NPCs will get back up after the fight. They're just knocked out unconscious. :)

Now whether they actually survive post chapter, is not really known even if you play your cards right. :)

Edit: It does trigger an etude if you allow them to follow you to the Starport.

The final fight is two down the road.

I managed to rescue both, but the planet gets it afterwards, making that pointless.

Thank you! I thought that happened to Camille in another fight but wasn't sure.

It's possible that both are rescued (or anyone at the parade that you allowed to follow you to the Starport), but it's off screen. We know that you at least rescue a few Nobles and others (or don't your choice) due to the crisis point at the landing pad. Maybe they were part of that landing pad group(s) that made it out to your ship (maybe arriving before you and were allowed to pass but not the nobles/Governor. It's definitely possible that they made it off the planet if you take the Iconoclast option to at least save the people/military that you can. As long as they didn't die on the way off screen or get crushed by Aurora in that first shuttle. :p :P

The alternative group at the parade (cancelling the staged parade and getting the former blind cultist (if you convinced him to stop blinding family), an elderly women and some rabble hint that they just follow you and don't run off (but don't show up in the next zone either). I think it would have been better to have these people follow you until the last fight at Starport and run off with the starport nobles to shuttles and make their fates more clear.
