For almost every mission I took out only the most imperative targets and left everyone else conscious, but for The Good Doctor, I had to take out every single human being so they didn't hear the elevator drop! (Edit: I also learned that if you care about body counts, DON'T use Domino unless you're absolutely sure they are all far apart and have their views of each other obstructed: if one of them sees an earlier domino fall, it counts as a body found!) It was a lot of fun! I learned things that I didn't know (like that you could get to the seance through the present and that you can take out Delilah without touching any of her clones) and I played with magic and items that I had actually never used before (stinging bolts and Mesmerize got me through most of it). The reason I'm 100% sure is that on my last run-through, literally the only person not conscious by the end of it was Stilton I used stinging bolts to get through most of it, and killed off the dogs with Shadow Kill (they don't count toward bodies anyway).Īlso when I said 'mutually compatible' special actions, I of course omitted murder-based ones and in missions 6 and 9, there were several mutually exclusive ones, but I managed to get the maximum possible while keeping to my own personal objectives. I have redone Crack in the Slab three times now and I am 100% sure that the body count is bugged.

I watched and he clearly got around the corner and the second guard gave up the chase very quickly, so I don't see why that wouldn't count my guess is the devs just didn't account for an approach like that and had some other trigger for the special action. Rather than incapacitate the guards, I possessed one of them, which interrupted his train of thought long enough for the merchant to escape. In Edge of the World, I did save the civilian from execution by the Wall of Light, but I did it in an unconventional way that I think the game doesn't recognize. Astute viewers might notice two anomalies:
