While the Lucasarts approach does sound like the better option; I always loved the “death scenes” in the Space Quest series, it added a lot of humour to the game. What if you had a death scene, such as Space Quest, but you didn’t reload from the start, you just reloaded the scene?

well, whats the point of killing him if u cant go on from there? i mean, yeah i guess it would be a cool animation for .5 seconds, but really, its not that important…

I’d go with the Lucasarts model.

Definately take the Sierra approach. I find it quite retarded when I am not able to kill anything I want in the game. The hate the controlled feeling of LucasArts model.

Well I think maybe you should be able to die on 2-3 locations, the critical ones, but i prefer that at the end of the game you have a “bad” ending like in indiana jones..idealy maybe you could make “blaster fight arcade mode” like the indy “fist” mode (but here you can actualy die), multiple choice game scenario (game progresses linked to your puzzle decions) – to keep it short – Fate of atlantis style.

But i think thats a lot of work
The best solution is to keep it most simple for you as a programmer, so you can actually finnish the game. Then do all the “twists” in the sequel.Which is Powered by lucasarts` budget

The LucasArts way seems better to me, the player should not be allowed to shot someone without reason, especially if it’s a NPC required for the story.
However, it could be nice to make Han able to shot one very important character, and then make a game over, like in Last Crusade when you can punch Hitler in the face, then be killed by his men.

lucas arts approach most def.. i hated the dying in sierra games. and exactly that approach made lucas arts games so relaxed to play for me..
