Keep em all alive?

How many people other than myself simply Re-Load the last save whenver ANYONE in the party dies. I do this especially in big battles so that everyone can have a share in the XP. Even if it takes me multiple attempts, I have never quit until I succeeded with everyone in my party still breathing.

In multiplayer parties, this is how we do it:

If it's a player character (one of the players' own), we automatically reload, no questions asked.

If it's an NPC, we take a vote. [img]smile.gif[/img] Majority wins.

Cheers,

I do not memorise Resurrection spells... ...

Sir Exxon · 06-13-2002, 10:07 AM

I usually reload. But sometimes, I use ressurection-spells instead. [img]smile.gif[/img]

PS. Nice sig, Saz! /)eath's work?

Auto reload on the spot, even during battles. (hardcore dnd friend hates me for that because in the dice and paper world, once someone's died, that's it...)

Nope, my own. [img]smile.gif[/img] The beserker dude is the guy I use when I play BG2 in multiplayer.

Thanks,

I used to reload at every death, but now I'm getting better at tolerating it. What's the point of toting a Rod of Resurrection around if you never use it?

Although I will reload if one of my guys commits some moronic error due to a crappy AI (like Jan deciding sneaking past some Mind Flayers would be cowardly, and opts to leave Stealth and shoot them instead).

man, i like NEVER reload lol. i keep a lot of res spells handy, my group doesnt seem to care [img]smile.gif[/img] (prob cuz they r NPCs lol)

Here's a question for everyone...Has anyone ever had someone die and leave them dead? i did that a lot my first time. Like Yoshimo and Korgan. Yoshimo got raped by the wands in the first dungeon and it never entered my mind to reload and with Korgan i just got sick of him complaining about finding his damn book so i left him dead. Anyone else do that?

I am always reloading whenever anyone of my guys dies. A good CRPG is a fairy tale for me. I treat all my characters as my children - and I want the best for them. The best equipment, the best skills, the best strategy, the best tactics, and the best development. Death does not belong to things I want for my characters.
Moreover, I am convinced that, in a good CRPG, death of a hero is a result of a blunder of the player. If it isn't the case and deaths aren't results of blunders then we have to reconsider the word "good".
