Will arcane odyssey have permadeath after an execution

so there really isn’t any lore based explanation as to why our characters come back to life even after clearly dying?

22

dying is not canon

23

it’s just a timeline break

this isnt shadow of Mordor where you dying is something that’s explained and contributes to your stories

24

so like, executions aren’t, real?

I mean I’m kinda sick irl and I might just be having snot brain but like I’m confused

25

your executions aren’t real

26

oh okay so like it’s like some weird parallel universe shit?

so like there’s I guess 1 “true” timeline where you don’t get any executions and stuff and all the times you died were just alternate universes?

27

trippy tbh

28

so then that means every respawn is just the players character from another reality?

29

look, story wise you would have just been knocked out, for executions story wise it’s other people that actually get executed. if you were executed that’s a timeline break so the story would act like you were not

30

In arcane adventures it was because our character was undead and immortal because durza fucked up when he cast a dead revival spell at savaria.

31

we could still die, that’s just the explanation as to why we came back to life after the big theos durza bang

32

well I mean I know that but that happens on the other side of the planet

33

this gives me an idea for a new ancient magic

34

what happens is you’re just knocked out, you can’t die in a narrative unless that’s a very specific part of the story.

and again, any successful executions that happen to YOU are not a part of the narrative because that would end the narrative before it should end, which is why you just lose galleons

35

well, not why you just lose galleons, that’s just because it’s a death and executions shouldn’t matter much

36

To summarize, the person that gets executed is actually your body double while you go into hiding for a bit.

37

this is a real sandal moment

I mean every dev should know
Gameplay >>>>> Logic > Story > Lore

so even if it doesn’t make sense would be pretty stupid to do that, if that was the case then NOBODY would bother gathering bounty
