Romancees dying

So when someone you romance dies in battle, the romance ends right? Isn't that....dumb? And annoying? Requires me to replay the last few fights many times.

Also Throne of Bhaal fixes that problem.
'Normal deaths' has no effect on romance.
So permadeath from chunking....explain? I'm unfamiliar with Core Rules but apparently companions can permadie via them...
As for chunking...
U know when u hit an enemy and they don't just die, but explode into a mess of gore and blood... If u play on Core Rules or higher, that can happen to your companions too. I am not 100% sure about mechanics, but I think it happens when you take more than -10 damage as a result of the killing blow.
For example, if u had 1 hp left, an ogre hits u for 12, that'd result in "massive damage" and permadeath. The character is removed from the party and cannot be raised.
Magic does not shatter kill NPCs regardless the amount of damage unless that's an function of the magic (desintegrate for example).
Wish and limited wish spells should be able ways to ressurect shattered NPCs, but that was not implemented on the game from all i know.
If you need me to answer the consequences, i believe you didn't date much in real life.
If my job involved traveling literally (among other equally nasty places) to Hell and killing thousands of demons and trolls and vampires and dragons, where I and my co-workers are routinely wounded and occasionally killed, I'm pretty sure my wife would be quite happy to be elsewhere. Maybe I could give her startup money to open a shop in Athkatla and mark everything up seven hundred percent.
But that wouldn't happen, because BG2, while an unassailably cool game, portrays human relationships imperfectly, and even that is a charitable thing to say. Are you suggesting that experience with real women would provide an understanding of a kidnapped winged elf with daddy issues who works in a one-tent circus? For that matter, you seem to suggest that all women react identically to identical situations, which is infinitely more indicative of inexperience with same than how Aerie reacts to a party kick.
If you don't want your remarks to be taken offensively, then don't say offensive things, especially when those offensive things are patently and palpably dumb.
Also, it turns out Aerie is pretty resilient and doesn't actually mind being dropped, at least over the short times I tested it. Jaheira on the other hand takes it badly even if you're not in a serious relationship (romance variable 2).
Now that I think of it, it makes sense with her personality. She's an inexperienced girl who will happily wait for you forever if you ask her to. But if you brush her off, even if you don't think it's a big deal, she takes it really badly.
I don't think we've had any significant disagreements that I can recall, and you contribute a lot on this forum, and I remember only good advice from you when u have responded to my questions. So common sense tells me to stay outta this one...
But I have noticed you to be... difficult... at times. "Shoot first, ask questions later". Both in the above example, and earlier today with the "kind of weapon" misunderstanding. Please, you make lots of helpful/insightful contributions, and @nano is witty and entertaining. Let's all just get along and keep this forum as nice as possible!
Did i spoke with you? No? So don't adress me to speak this kind of bullshit. And if you feel offense from this comment, well... swallow it, i don't care.
The issue was solved, @Nano took offense from my comments, replied in kind (fairly) and i gave apologise, then come an douchebag as you trying to appear nice and inteligent, give some rethoric fallacious comments to gather likes and agrees. One of the problems in this forum nowdays are imbeciles like you that provoke flame wars from the apparently position of morality.
You have nothing to do with the subject. @Nano expressed himself after my comment and i offered apologise. Next time you think n give moral lessons, think twice and do not post, your fallacious bullshit isn't needed, the name for it is hypocrisy.
@Heindrich1988, i'm a bit problematic sometimes i give you reason in that, some jokes of mine are unnecessary and if i thought twice before i would not make them or try to soft the terms to avoid offense. I don't know @Nano to speak about his particular personal life, so i clearly tried to make a prank with him, an unhappy prank from what i can see of the result !
This forum helped me a lot in take more control and conscience over what i write (i was a lot more problematic in the past), but apparently i still have points to mature.
And until an admin bans me, I'll quite happily saunter into any thread on the boards and contribute. That is how internet forums work. And in any event, I *do* have something to do with the subject, because every single NPCs kick chat indicates that they think you've removed them by mistake, and I've always wondered if that meant that a party kick had to be confirmed before it took.
And whether I'm intelligent and moral or only appear so, it's really hard to take that as an insult.
I have heard many times before that it wont work. Have you tested this?
