Re: What types of games are impacted the most by permadeath?
While I agree to some extant, I think it also affects games that have really developed characters in roleplay as well. For example, if you work for a year on your character, building up relationships, political structures, etc., it is very harsh to start over as it were. It would be similar to being an NFL coach having to recroute the entire line up every time you lost a game. Yes yes, it is harsh, but really does it make for a better coach? Highly unlikely.
This begs another question and I'll post it on the other permadeath thread so as to not derail this thread.
