Dagger to the Heart Starting Location
Objective: Talk to the Theater Owner About The Dagger
Interrupt the squabbling pair to ask about The Dagger. The Theater Owner promises to give you information in exchange for killing one of The Dagger’s operatives who owes them money. Seems like a win/win to me.
Objective: Find and Deal with the Dagger Associate
Follow the waypoint until you are within 150M, then call Ikaros to pinpoint the man’s location. Talk to the smuggler, and try to reason with him. Chances are, you’ll end up having to kill him and his guards.
Objective: Return to the Couple at the Theater
Unfortunately, it gets worse. The Dagger’s thugs have captured the couple, and are threatening their lives. They force you to choose which of the two should die. Choose either to spare Idyia or Prexileos, and the other will die.
Be warned however, if you attack instead both of them will be killed, leaving a lot of crying children at the end of the mission.
Objective: Kill the Remaining Dagger Members
Whatever you choose, kill all the bandits to complete the mission.

You can say them both if you attack from a distance without triggering the cutscene.
I did the same. Kids were still crying but both lived
If you attack from a distance (and you’re quick) rather than engaging in conversation you can keep both of them alive.
It’s actually possible to save them both by attacking the dagger members before the cutscene/dialogue is triggered, shoot them from afar
I did it by triggering combat with a bounty hunter nearby to prevent the cutscene from activating (since “You must be anonymous”) then rushing in with the slow mo ability then immediately popping flashbang (vanish). Finished them off with my flaming Two Hander.
When I approached from afar I already heard somebody yelling and was up on guard. Took out the bad guys with my bow. This will start another cutscene where both are hurt but alive. They then ask you to deal with the rest of the dagger guys (there is a dialogue option there once more)
Recomended level 32? I’m only level 19.
The stupid wife keeps getting herself killed by not staying the hell out of the fight! LOL
i hated all the options thanks to these comments i kept them both alive predator shot with archery master 3 took em out no problem
I messed up and loaded and autosave which just triggered combat and managed to kill them before the parents died! Also I did it at level 15!
I tried that and the dad froze in time, the wife cried and the second the cutscene ended she tripped on a corpse and died
This is stupid made up in a way so if you trigger cutscene as you should you arent given any true choice or time to even try to prevent death as its part of cutscene. It would be OK if we were given choice to try to attack them during that short time or bribe or anything but it is just meaningless “hey we want to show you that you cant always save everyone” gray moral choice. I did not bother to reload save and try to save them from distance because I simply do not agree with how game creators are trying to force grayness in the world.
Isn’t that more realistic though? Life is full of grey choices.
