Does indirectly killing NPCs ruin your non-lethal run in Deus Ex Mankind Divided?
Solution 1:
No. Taking actions which result in NPCs dying at the hands of other NPCs does not sacrifice the Pacifist trophy in Mankind Divided. For example, I just received the trophy after a playthrough in which
I set the "good" Prague cops on Drahomir and his cronies, resulting in 4 deaths
I failed to save Miller's life
I accidentally triggered Eliza Cassan's "intervention" in the Red Light District while one of the cops was standing too close to the turret, causing him to die when it exploded
I opened a locked gate in the sewers below southern Prague, causing several civilians to be killed by drones
I failed to save Koller's life
On the flip side,
- I made sure everyone I knocked unconscious was still marked
Zzz(rather than dead) after I finished dragging their bodies away. (A couple times the dragging process killed the person, so I had to reload.) - I reloaded when a robot that I destroyed blew up too close to a civilian, killing him.
