Can't save Cliff? *SPOILERS*

[Barf Ninja]

So, I read somewhere I needed to have the Doctor feat to be able to heal Cliff, so I avoided him and went fight some mobs and got the feat, but as it turns out, I never even get any dialogue prompt to be able to save him or whatever. His health just starts at 20 and keeps trickling down until he's dead. I don't think this gives me enough time to find Jenny and save her...

Am I missing something? Any way of using healing items on him?

[Barf Ninja]

Nevermind - I'm dumb. I just had to bandage him, didn't even know I could use them like this.

Same story here. Thanks.

Kind of screwed up. Can only do it from the quickbar, and with no context menu it's never made apparent that you can even do that at all. I tried dragging the bandages onto him but that just dumps them onto the ground.

Yeah, it's not very user-friendly since you have to use an item in a way you haven't, at least not up until that point. I mean, the info is all there, sure... But nevertheless it's not clear enough on how to do it.

Kinda wish they'd do a pop-up for that specific mission or something to help people out. Not everyone thinks of coming to the discussion forums for this lol.

I don't think there is any point in the game where this "healing others via bandages" mechanic really comes into play. Even with Cliff isn't not making any difference outside of RP (that is, no extra reward or future quest, etc).

Actually there is - Black Sea if you sides with Aegis, you can heal sec troops after natives attacks.

You sure can, but does it influence anything?
The fight is already over, and I always assumed everyone heals to full by the next fight anyway.

Their auto-healing will cost med supplies level decrease.

Bit of a necro, but is Cliff that guy hanging out near the Burrower den? If he is, you can stick him with a coagulant shot from the Expedition DLC if you want. I avoided him for a long time once until I found a shot, and then went and used it on him.

It wasn't really worth it.

But it's an option! Does bandaging him stop the bleeding too? It has been some time since I played last, but the Doctor feat...does that enable stopping bleeds when bandaging? Or is it just a dialogue thing?

Pretty cool, never thought about that.

I learned about the "trick" to bandage in turn based mode even during extended firefights if you obscure yourself, but I haven't gotten around to fully abusing that, I used to think you could only use bandages in real time, lol. Is it possible to be obscured in combat with allies, and then bandage them during your turn? I'm almost 100% certain that simply using your turn to blow the enemies away would be more helpful to your allies health than bandaging them from the shadows, but, for curiosity sake lol.

Is it possible for a non-combat player to bandage an in-combat NPC?

Will it? Never actually tested if it works like that...

His bleeding has a limited duration. If you heal him, the bleeding will naturally stop before he runs out of HP. Moreover, if you heal him above 85%, natural generation will effectively negate bleeding,

Neat. I will remember that, even though he's barely got any role in the game at large, it's good to save him. Instead of blowing him away, anyway.

It's just good for the soul, y'know?
