Re: What types of games are impacted the most by permadeath?
Hah. Good one.
Excellent points. I was merely focusing on the broader spectrum of things as role-playing. As in taking on the role of another personality other than yourself. Which in that term kinda kills the first type of role-player you have discussed, however I think they are a valid point, considering us players on the other end of the screen do not know that is how the person really is or not.
And I agree with the permadeath seeming to have a bigger impact on a player who plays another character other than themselves and puts more into a character, I like your metaphors with The Lord of the Rings and Spiderman. This is exactly my point.
