Some people, like myself, would like to see dead means dead. That is why IE games are pretty much still tops my list. I can play BG1, and whoops Khalid dies, and I can't raise him. Well, strip him of his gear, ditch the body, and move on. That was my choice to play like that. If I wanted to keep him alive I would reload. The system in current games like NWN2, the KotORs, and the like are just lame. It removes the choice from the player.
