Seems like a few of you got some great ideas about this. As long as I just don’t get to have any toll/added weakness on my character when I do die. That’s just one huge moodkiller. I do could live with cracked armour though. That’s more realistic at least.
Should I die though, might I perchance request to keep my iventory? Take me back to the last town or marker I passed or whatnot, but please don’t let me lose half/all of my inventory. That sort of stuff just makes me want to go back in time and never start the game in the first place!
