Saved the Dead Nossie ***Hip deep in spoilers***

Next to last level of the Nosferatu warrens, there is the nossie that gets taken out by the Corpulent Claw Couple, right? That's how you get the key to the last hatch.
I saved him! He's just a robot. If you save him, you still get the key, too. He goes back to where he was originally standing, and is completely unresponsive. Not even an NPC. Just a sacrifice.
How? Anaconda and Jaegerspaz. I wasted one of the Corpulent Claw guys in seconds, and the other shortly thereafter. When they're occupied with that Nos, they totally ignore you.
One more example of "it's not actually impossible - just unlikely".
I'm interested in how this affects the rest of the game.

Take pride in your ability to save that Noss... because that's pretty much all you can get from it.
Nothing occurs later on in the game to reflect your accomplishment. Only thing is you'll be meeting that Noss model again when you reach the Warren, though it's a different character.

Therefore I tried to make sure that he is killed in one of my unofficial patches

It's been over two years now before I found out he didn't have to die, and that because of my increasing combat prowess. I have found out how to go head to head with those things with impunity. How are you going to ensure that Nossie's death? I don't even have celerity, and I can still save him. With celerity, lord only knows what I could do. I might be able to kill the Corpulent Duo before they even get a crack at him. I don't know for sure - never tried it - yet.

Quite simply: For each enemy you kill he will receive damage as well
! This was already the trick Troika used but the damage just was not high enough...

Oh, now that's just sneaky!
You have a very clever and twisted mind, Wesp5. It is an honor to have had a peek into it.

Yep...as a Tremere I was able to save the nossie and Zhao (Zhao requires more luck). You don't get anything for either...and I noticed that the unofficial patch made sure they died when I played next as a gangrel.

IIRC saving Zhao should grant you a small XP bonus; not sure, though, if this is one of Wesp5's additions, as it's been a veeeery long time since I've last used vanilla.

Probably not. I lose Zhao pretty much every time. I used to try my best to save him, but it became more trouble than it was worth. Now I let him die and just focus on saving my own undead hide.

That was one of my additions yes. But I wouldn't do this for the Nossie because if he survived you would notice that Troika was just using the Mitnick skin...

Even better. When you're about to face the two baddies attacking the poor Nossie, arm yourself with a flame-thrower and hit both of them with a solid spray at once and they die quickly.
