Toggle non-lethal attacks button

[FroBodine]

It is very vague as to what mode is lethal or non-lethal.

Is lethal attacks when the button is lit, and non-lethal when the button is greyed out?

Or vice versa? This tooltip is very vague.

Glowing is murder-mod, not glowing is non-lethal attacks.

Thank you!

Also, contrary to the description, I still seem to land critical attacks when I use non-lethal mode (and I don't make any prisoners/thralls :( )?

[CelestialSlayer]

Was this explained in the game anywhere? I didn't realise you use this for thralls. Can someone explain it a bit please?

You should change the icon to a skull with blood for lethal

Personally I don't get what non-lethal gives me... I'm using it for a while now but it seems that leaving people alive doesn't bring any benefits. I was hoping for either having the opportunity to interrogate them afterwards if they leave them alive, or gain some Thralls as trading goods, or at least have an opportunity to torture them for fun.

On the other hand if characters are important for the story they seem survive no matter what, so what exactly is the point with that button? Is it just some kind of bloodmode on/off switch?

You only get something in certain (scripted) cases, e.g. there are some escaping thralls that you can recapture if you don't kill them.
But this doesn't happen very often, I would've appreciate more use the non-lethal mode as well...

I don't know whether this is the case. Enemies surviving despite lethal mode might have been because they don't die instantly unless they receive a lot of damage, they first become incapacitated.

Roskva has just landed a critical hit with the button lit.

You can also spare the guys who attack you during the funeral and make their father happier.
I've found a way to remember what is lethal / non lethal : Torfinn uses his bare hands and can't kill so the option is greyed out for him.

You guys really need to make it clear that LIT = MURDER and DULL = SOFT. The button itself gives no indication either way, so if you start clicking it and don't remember which one is on and off, you can end up murdering kids in the training yard by accident because of the UI.
