I am in favor of the system in it's current evolution and this is why. NWN seems to be a game that is solely based on the RNG (Random Number Generator), thus, technically though unlikely, anyone can die through a bad roll of the dice. Now I know what you're thinking: Scott is whining about permadeath! :P I agree, that permadeath adds an element of realism to the game, but how realistic do you want the game truly. An element of realism in the fantasy story ie the bad day RNG, lends credence to an unpredictable world and we all agree that dying in Thay is a bad thing. XP, and the potential loss of your gear makes it a frusterating thing. But how many times have we died due to small glitches, lag, or just an insanely bad day? I use Vortar as an example. I love RPing with Vortar (and just about everyone else) but how many times has Vortar died? Would there even be a Vortar?

I remember playing Nintendo. You had a certain number of lives and bammo the game was over. This was on games with fifty levels as well as one or two. In games with one or two levels, this wasn't so bad, but the ones with fifty were considered to be some of the hardest out there, and their sales declined for that reason.

I personally enjoy the system as it is now, as it gives you massive incentive not to die, and while death happens, it sucks, it ticks you off cuz you were 10xp from level, oops someone looted your corpse, but you did not have to start all over.

I thank you all for listening to my diatribe and look forward to further rp with you all. :)
