Arka have lots of wasted potential ....
Personaly i would also like some upgrade when talking to her at gate:
Cleric should be able to offer her prayer, just as they do to Aradin ...
Wizards(or wielders of neckage, or owners and users of scroll) should be able to offer her one question when talking to dead, just as they do to that Blonde guy in Waukeen's rest ...
And im 100% positive that theese situations we should be able to use Revivify scroll ... wich btw should be MUCH more expensive to discourage us from that action.
I mean ... those all are things we CAN do in this game and are part of its roleplay ... we should logicaly be able to do them in every situation!
Rez was the first thing i tried! i agree 100%. Players should not have those scrolls from the start at leastt not on the hardest difficulty and they should give us the option to rez him. Maybe they go kill goblins with Arka and later they make a whole new adventuring group that we meat in BG city... Or any other of 100+ ideas they could make. If Rez is not an option, we should not have rez scrolls at all. The whole talk to the dead is not used like you said, i would think she would be surprised to see him talk if nothing else.
The same with Mayrina's brothers i even tried knocking them out to save their lives but the game didn't register it at all. Somehow they magically teleported to the swamp and died. Like wtf they got there before me?!?! How?!
Ow and those scrolls should be rare just like all other things and not be infinite. Larian removed few food packages from the starting gear so that was good. Maybe it's time they look into those as well!
IF anything Elder ring showed us that people are ok with hard games and player can die in games aslong as they have fun doing it.
BTw did anyone try to follow Arka and see how they die? They probably just disappear?
