No, you can also accept failure and the consequences that go with it.
I believe you dont understand the concept ...
I have no problem accepting failure, but this particular situation is not about failure, its about game allow you to use only limited options since it would make too many other permutations (read as: additional work) for developers.
If you read, and i mean ACTUALY read that previous post ... you can see there i suggested additional option for good characters, who simply cant let the child die ... jump in front of her, and take that snakebite instead of her ... that in my eyes is "accepting failure and consequences that go with it" ...
I believe that Kagha would not be happy if you actualy heal/ressurect the child, since her sentence would be annuled by that ... i would expect concequences there, and i would accept them happily ...
But just "stand there and watch child die, bcs random number generator decided to spit low number this time" simply dont seem like good play. Sorry. :-/
You are not betraying yourself...
I know, that is why i said my "character" instead of "self" ... there is quite important difference.

As i tryed (and failed as it seems) explain abowe, the problem here are limitations of game engine ...
What explanation is there that your character is unable to use healing spell, or poison curing spell, or ressurection spell ... that you are using every second turn in combat?
I know what, ofcourse, its the fact that Larian simply "didnt allow us" to use any of that. Nothing more, nothing less.
From roleplay perspective this limitation is just paradox.

And how can we solve paradox? We cant, but we can prevent it. :P
IMHO this is the braver and more difficult option. Back straight, stiff upper lip. Lets see how this plays out. Could be fun.
With another character it will be ... not for this one.
That is my reason for replay.

"But I wasn't supposed to fail" - But you did, what are you the Time Variance Authority? :P
I never said "I wasn't supposed to fail" ...
I say in this case there are missing options ... and that either should be fixed, or prevented.

All these then.

As i stated countless times, i really hope this will not be the case ...
I know it was standard in older games, but i really hope we get past "
single button that will set everything in the world" ... to "
single button that sets your profile ... and then you can adjust certain things, as you like".
Could you imagine that graphic settings would have only "low" "fair" "good" and "ultra" settings, without option to adjust anything? Bleh ...
