Bandits and Karma

[FerbDahMan]

Im on the bandit level playing on Spartan Hardcore you dont lose karma for killing bandits do you?

[Jig McGalliger]

Bandits can be killed so long as they are a potential threat and aren't injured/helpless/surrendered.

Even every bandit in this level is considered a threat, so I stealth killed them anyway.

You do lose karma only if you kill enemies that aren't hostile and are injured or surrendered.

+ and - karma points will be notified to you with a screen animation sound. A lot of + karma are found within cities just listening to npc's. Killing most enemies (excluding civilians) does not change anything vs knocking em out . Make sure to give a Bullet to every homeless scum you meet, there are too many

I'm trying to be "good" in Last Light and am at the point where I was captured, went down the garbage shoot, then the dude with me got captured and now I'm having to get through the whole room of bad guys. Am I allowed to kill these fellas or do I have to try and stealth/knockout my way out? (failing so far)

If I recall the specific location, yes, but if you do the impact is not on karma, rather additional hostiles appear. There is also at least one place where an individual surrenders (do not kill him).

Ugh, just finished Last Light again and I died at the end again. Do you die no matter what? I never killed anyone when there was a choice, donated bullets to beggars, listened to every conversation that showed up as text, found the kids teddy bear, pulled Pavel out at the end, knocked out people whenever it was possible and I still died. I even knocked out every single person in the chapter where the dark one is with me and I spawn above the enemies and jump down on top of a train car. What am I missing??

Ok, I found the list of + or - moral, trying again.

I'm in Chapter "Revolution" trying to do the service check moral point and they just stand there after the first check. I've tried not moving at all after opening the door and the 1st check completes but no one moves. I've moved around to the right and am basically right across from the service check guy but he just stands there. Reloaded the checkpoint numerous times and they never advance to the 2nd check.

I finally figured it out. You don't "follow" them, you basically have to lead them. After the first check, you turn right and work your way over toward a breaker panel, climb a ladder and move across the room above #2, then they move there and do their check. Then they start moving to the 3rd and you have to climb down and jump into the sewer duct to move around to #3. #4 Automatically triggered while I was still in the sewer duct. BTW, each service check is at a red pressure wheel that looks like the wheels you turn to open some doors, they are spread out across the room. Hope this helps, was frustrating.
