How is death handled in the game?asked by Red Roman
TL;DRDeath handling is still under discussion, with ideas like limited resurrections with inheritance or weaker body parts, and the team asked for forum feedback, possibly a poll, though Chris Roberts decides.
We are actually talking about that right now, Red Roman. I would appreciate it if you would put a post up in the forums about that very thing, because we're thinking there's a couple of different ways of doing it. We're thinking we may have death where you get resurrected, but there's only so many times you can be resurrected, and then you have your ship and everything else goes down to your son or daughter. Or we let you be resurrected with weaker body parts. There's all kinds of things we're talking about. So that would be a great forum topic.
I think there's going to be a poll out about that, because Chris has one way he'd like to do it. I have another way. Obviously, he is the boss, so what he wants to do is what's going to happen. But I think the audience can reflect, you guys put your thoughts on what you think can happen. And I think that'll influence a lot of us.
