Message: [QUOTE="kanesha, post: 46015, member: 130134"] That might not always be an option though, technical challenges aside, if you want to immerse the player in something more grounded than a narratively invulnerable demon prince revelling in the spectacle of slaughter, brutally murderizing them might be your only way to get them to try something again. Roguelike/lite games are a take on that I guess, but there exist more traditional linear modern games that have permadeath as a difficulty setting, so while they can't afford to make it a hard design choice and fine tune the whole game around that, it's their way of admitting that there is something to it other than just a genetic disease inherited from quarter munching arcades.
