How to get the 'good' ending in Metro Last Light? (spoilers)

When I played Metro 2033, I got the bad ending, even though I felt I did make only 'good' choices throughout the game. I just purchased Metro Last Light, and before starting it, I want to know what exactly I need to do to get the 'good' ending. I don't want to invest several hours in a game, only to find out that I get a crappy ending. I'm asking this here because in Metro games, it isn't really obvious what needs to be done to get the 'good' ending. Please help me out. I don't mind if you reveal minor spoilers here, but please don't reveal either the good or bad ending. Thank you.

Come on, guys. Please respond.

I also heard something about paying a hundred bullets for property damage; as to where that is, I'm clueless. I also got the bad ending but I killed most everything anyway.

Thanks a lot! :)

Unless you really just want to play through it again, you could just watch the good ending on YouTube.

I've heard it has to be pretty much a pacifist run (anywhere between 5-50 kills max and spare everyone you can). I can almost confirm that because I did nearly every 'good' thing throughout the game (listen to conversations, explore everywhere, give gold, etc), that's pretty much standard after playing 2033, but I still got the standard ending. It's not like 2033 where exploration and conversations get you most of the way. If you kill too many people so that you can explore or rescue, it's overall a negative effect (imo, have no data on this).

It's best not to think of them as 'good' and 'bad' endings; there's just an additional, alternate ending, but a majority of players will get the standard ending. Besides, the game gives you a ton of weapons, a ton of cool ways to dispatch enemies, and some pretty horrific/evil enemies, but it expects you to run through without killing any of them to get the "good" ending? I don't really agree with the developers choice to do this and it really doesn't make sense with the alternate ending. The endings probably should have been switched, based off some dialog overheard in the game, but that doesn't stop it from being a really enjoyable experience.

I like to leave no enemy alive. So, I'll probably get the bad ending anyway.

Ah, okay. I'm on my first playthrough. I just want to finish the game first. We'll see when the moral stuff present themselves.

This hidden morality system is really flawed. I completed TWO playthroughs of the game, doing EVERYTHING on this list during both playthroughs, yet I got the bad ending BOTH times. Now I realize that the good ending is totally random. Probably they have designed it so that 9 out of 10 copies of the game get the bad ending irrespective of following  everything on this list, and only 1 copy gets the good ending. Totally disappointing.

Not only me, 3 of my friends too played the game. and only one among the 4 of us got the good ending, although he was the one who played more carelessly and went against several actions mentioned on the list.
