    Enemies take damage from sliding down stairs?

    I'm playing through Dishonored on Normal/mostly stealth for my first playthrough. I kill only where it is absolutely necessary (basically when I don't feel like reloading a save.).

    I accidently picked up the perk for turning corpses into ashes upon death. Twice today while I playing I sleep-bolted an enemy at the top of a set of stairs and had him slide down the stairs because of physics. During the slide the corpse would turn to ashes and it would count as a kill at the end of the mission.

    Has anyone had this happen to them? Is it a bug? I guess if it's in the game let this be a cautionary tale to those going through with the intention of never killing anyone.

    If an enemy hits his head hard enough, it will kill him. So no, it's not a bug. Just fragile guardsmen.

    It's definitely a bug in real life when people die falling down the stairs

    I had something similar happen to me after just taking out the first overseer. He was unconscious and I was carrying him up some strairs. I put him down on the stairs to take care of a guard and when i turned around he was slowly sliding down the stairs on his face, and when he hit the bottom step he somehow died. I wanted to take care of him indirectly, and luckily i saved just before i took him out, so i just loaded up the save.

    This game seems like it's too much hassle to go through the game as a non-killing ghost, so i am just going to continue and enjoy the game at my whim and then if i still want to continue playing, which I probably will if the game continues to be this fun, I will try to complete it in complete stealth.

    Yup that's a bug, only people in telenovelas die from falling down the stairs.

    Water does a similar thing, even if it's really shallow water, as soon as an unconscious person touches the stuff they turn into ash.

    While we are on the subject of accidental death. In the first mission you are asked to save the watchman guy from being poisoned. I did this by smashing the glasses so he and the overseer leave the room, then I sleep darted him. However after the mission when you go back to shore his daughter told me he was dead?! How could that be?

    @Mister_V: You need to carry him to a "safe place" ( a dumpster in the right area outside the building). They kill him if you leave him there.
