That's my issue, with all of these "gotcha!" moments, it's just save scumming. As Twerp said above me, Larian is the DM here, and a normal DM would say "uh, so..is anyone going to try to help them..?" but Larian isn't doing that, it's just a game over screen.

Actually a lot of my issues with Pathfinder was constant saving because who knows what the hell was about to gank you with level 30 stats. It turns rpgs less into roleplaying, and more into a trial and error puzzle. to be fair, that can be fun, but it should be somewhat limited imo.

It is, by the players that don't want to save scum. At least, it should be, right? If "I don't like a certain playstyle" is a valid argument, then "Don't do it" should be as well, right? My "save scumming is limited to things like big fights or boss fights, where I may not want to replay several hours of the game if something in one of those encounters goes sideways, or if the game crashes, something that happens quite a bit in FO 4 for example. How many times do I have to replay x amount of game hours because someone else doesn't like save scumming, and managed to get a "you can only create a hard save every x hours"? When I neglect to do it in FO 4, and the game crashes, or worse, I die, I don't just automatically replay 3 hours of game. I quit, and go do something else.
