Gollgagh Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Do you mean "which would we want to die first", or "which is most likely to die"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glasfen Posted October 30, 2008 Author Share Posted October 30, 2008 Do you mean "which would we want to die first", or "which is most likely to die"? It's not supposed to be a player-based decision but more of a "I'm playing a RPG. Oh, look at this character; I'll bet they die first." I'll make it most likely.

Neo Samus Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Ever since FFVII it seems like love intersts are always the ones to die. So I would say D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverCoat Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 It's usually C. They don't always die though, sometimes they come back, or turn evil [like Kreia from KOTOR 2] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nohbody Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 A, the old person. For snes at least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser371 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Most likely the old guy, though the love interest is a close second. Think about it, how common is it that the "old guy" is the mentor or elder to one of the characters in the game, who is later driven by the desire to avenge said "old guy"s death?

Liontamer Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I don't play RPGs at all , but my guess would be C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenobio Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Gonna have to go with C as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoloGamer Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 the black guy I don't play many RPG's but I'm going with C. They either die or go MIA only to return evil (and then die). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archaon Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I don't play RPGs at all What's funny? Why is that funny? STOP THAT LAUGHING IMMEDIATELY. I don't know if this poll really works. Quite often, the magic user is the love interest, and if an old person joins your party, chances are they're going to play the part of the experienced mentor, thereby fulfilling the "strong ally" role. There have even been some characters that have incorporated A, B and C or B, C and D...although thankfully, no combination of A and D exists to my knowledge.

Nyuura Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 the black guy i loled A's got my vote only because I can't seem to remember who dies first in most RPGs I've played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azure Prower Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 For old RPGs. A. The old person. But for modern ones, it has changed a bit. There is no one stereotype used any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
