Disney has reversed course on a wrongful death lawsuit brought by the widower of a woman who died after eating at a resort restaurant, saying the matter can now proceed to court.
Oh, that’s a good point, I didn’t think of it this way. I felt that Pathologic 2 handled it pretty well, because the first time I died, I was confused at how it framed the consequences (instead of a straightforward “you died! Load earlier save?”, you get a conversation with an NPC that explains some of the consequences, albeit somewhat obtusely). The actual consequences of death felt surprisingly forgiving, given all I’ve heard about Pathologic (especially the first few deaths).
The original animal crossing had something like that. If you turned off the console without saving, a mole named Resetti or something like that would rant at you about how you aren’t supposed to do that. The rant would get longer the more times you turned off the console without saving.
Undertale had this. It allowed you to reload the older save and undo what you did, but it kept a second, hidden save file that you couldn’t easily erase.
hmm, that would be an interesting feature for a RPG game. Are there any games that have that feature? Like some anti savescumming?
Pathologic 2. When you die it applies the consequences to all of your saves all you can’t go back and change it

DUHduh dun dun DUN

I agree. A little fourth wall breaking even to go with it. “You thought you could just reload? Sorry mate, some things can’t be so easily undone.”
That would make an awesome Deadpool game LOL
If executed well, the shock of a moment like that would be sublime.
I understand that that annoying Undertale game did this.
