Submitted for your approval:
A Battle sound indicator that would inform the player of the death or knock-out of a friendly party member. It could be a distinctive unique metallic sound or musical tone and maybe even distinguish between dead and unconscious party members.
We now have text messages: "Borcha has been knocked unconscious... Vaegir veteran killed by..."
I like that the character has an awareness of what's what during the melee but maybe a sound cue would be better. It would be more informative and more in keeping with the "real time you are there" feeling of combat than reading a text message as though you were a starship captain reading a computer battle damage report.
So, if your party is getting cut to pieces in some desperate fight, then the ominous toll of the sound cue would add to the urgency of your plight. At least, you would look around and notice, "Where is everybody? They're all done for! Even Borcha? Borcha!!!"
There are times I am aware that troopers are falling but am shocked to find that I'm the last man standing.
