[1.0.3.13] Newton does not survive being saved

[TheAverageGortsby]

After killing all the psi beetles in the building (and checking all corners twice to make sure), the dialog option "All the beetles are dead.  Let's get you out of here" results in Newton's corpse spawning near the exit door.  No obvious reason (enemies, traps, etc) exists for his demise.
Note: either of the dialog options to get him out have the same result; dead Newton.

Just want to confirm I can't save Newton no matter what as well.

Sorry forgot to mention, I'm playing dominating difficulty. I think the increase amount of psi beetles wasn't properly accounted for in this quest?

Thirded. Checked carefully for beetles, had both the "I think they're dead" and "They're all dead" dialog options, chose #2, Newton still shows up dead and I can only give Bret condolences. I also am trying out DOMINATING difficulty.

Maybe Newton died from sheer fright because he was too much of a wussy to handle the new difficulty level?

He can't even handle Hard.

I encounter the same bug and tried a variety of options in hopes that I can still save him. Not only did I kill all the Azuridae inside but also outside. I shot the barrel. I did some reload and loading stuff. Tried to fiddle around with the dialogue. Etc.
Nothing works he will die regardless how well you do. This happens while playing on the new difficulty.

Newton also get an early funeral on NORMAL difficulty.

Just regular playing on normal, killing the beetles, looting the place, telling Newton that the coast is clear... no reason for him to die.

Got it. Fixed for the next update. Poor Newton.

Thanks for the patches.  I actually felt so badly for Newton that I went ahead and restarted my Dominating attempt with the same build, just so I could save him.  Feeling badly for an NPC.  What a silly thing to do. ^_^

I had a save right before I could tell Newton that the warehouse is bug free.
