Perkless in Skyrim
Bad to the Dragonbone.
I lose interest in a character after it has died and the feeling grows the more often it happens. I'm at the point with my current character that I'm not sure I wish to continue because he's died several times.
I know there is a style of play called Dead Is Dead. I haven't ever used it. The idea of starting over even more frequently than I already do and having to go through Helgen even more (because I WILL die ... it's axiomatic) puts me off. Imagine a run of bad luck where you had to start over IN Helgen multiple times.
Do you use some kind of rationale to explain what happened in the event that you just died? I generally say that my character had a vision which ended badly. The length of the vision varies based on how far back I saved. Naturally, lengthy visions are the cause of much frustration.
How do you handle character death? Does it make you want to start over?
