Saving Sarah in DC? <SPOILER!>
In the vanilla version I remember, that I could save her with a sniper, aproaching carefully and shoot the raider before the cutscene is triggered.

Now, in the DC this seems not to be possible any more. The cutscene triggers long before I have even seen them, no matter from which side I come.

Anyone could save her nevertheless and if so, how?

That was one of those odd moments. I helped a guy.. got sidetracked.. on my way to that canyon with the badgers and goop.. The event triggered even though I was a mile away on the other side.. When I finally caught up with her, she was not lying down anymore, but just standing there.. In perfect health.. No issues.. Wanting me to kill her.. No help, just an odd memory, sorry.

According to someone on the official forums, you can manage it if you split your party, start a fight a LONG way away, and then have someone get within sniping range. Because you're locked in combat, it can't start the sequence to blow her up, and so you can shoot the guy before he blows her to hell.

After doing this, you can talk to Sarah for...an error message. This was apparently deliberately designed to prevent you from saving her at all.

I guess so, too.
As far as I remember it was pointless anyways, because there wasn't even a conversation after saving her, right?

I don't get why this quest has went from having a couple solutions to now being a fragment of something that once existed. In beta you used to be able to tell the Dr. about her and give her prostetic legs. Then for some reason you couldn't do it anymore and you had to snipe the raider to save her. Now you can't do anything with her other then take her locket.

It was the one story choice I cared about. I'm not kidding.

No, there's no reason you'd know killing the knob would prevent something miserable and senseless from playing out, but so what?

I wish these guys had just published novels and let someone else make the game. That's how we got Metro 2033, right?

"Hey boss, I'm gonna go fix the game breaking bugs."

"Did you make sure players can't prevent the scene where the girl's legs are blown off senselessly?"

"Uh, no."

"Okay. Do that first. That's our priority."

What, are you serious? It was actually a quest in beta? WTF devs, WTF. Why would you remove great content. You don't remove finished content!

I too tried to snipe klink the raider, but yeah, the scene triggers before the fog of war vanishes.
