Permanent Death Question

[tonz920]

Question regarding the new death feature: Enable Death says that heroes can die, but i've been knocked out by bandits on two occasions and have not died. Is the permanent death thing only if you have an heir or someone next to play as? It might sound weird but I don't want to have the chance to get knocked out over and over again with no risk of game over.


So...has anyone actually gotten game over yet? Or even knows the answer to my question?

Enable Death makes so that other lords die not you

I could swear that was not the case, and there was a lot of warnings about it. It specifies "heroes" when you enable it.

I believe it refers to the possible deaths of our companions. I don't think the main character can actually die, though in prior games they had iron man mode saving and if you got wiped out and reset to nothing that was almost the same thing.

Speaking of on companion death - does anyone know if there are procedurally generating companions in this one or if we have death on could we eventually run out of potential companions?

I'm almost certain your character can die too, would be a bit crap if your character died from bandits tho.

maybe its me, but games like this arent fun to me if there's not something at risk. I feel the fights are more fun and achievements more meaningful when you could die at any time if you're not playing carefully/strategically

They will probaly bring it cause they said when you die you would play as your childeren (heir)

No, enable death allows you to die in battle. If disabled, you will only ever get knocked out, but you will still die of old age.

The companions are generated randomly I do believe. Not sure about lords and nobles. I have death on and have the option to execute captured lords but in my 24 hours of gameplay with death enabled I have not had my character die and iv been defeated and imprisoned countless times.

I have it enabled, and one of my companion s (Acsyron the Robber, in case they aren't random) died in battle, I confirmed on the scoreboard. However, he didn't actually die. He is still in my party and healed as before. Bugged option maybe?
