it's just that I'm basing my arguments on actual existing scenes and mechanics set in place.
Thats the fun part ... me too ... and i would say i do it better. Look!
The scene:
Now just imagine ... At 1:18 when Rath kneels next to Arabella ... our Tav is kneeling just next to him, offering potion in hand ... but sadly, its too late for her. Voila!
Easy, simple, cheap, with fresh scent of lemons! :P
How to determine if our Tav should do that you ask? Well, simply ofcourse ... you tryed to safe her > you offer a potion ... you didnt > you dont.
Now, please ... tell me again how "they wouldnt in a million years do so much work required just to add some personality flair for the main character". :P

I said because you mentioned them; that"resurrection scrolls", the items we use to revive companions, do not exist and they don't.
*Revivify ... but thats minor detail.
One could aswell argue that removing this game restriction "useable on companions only" is F*****G EXACTLY THE CHANGE THAT IM ASKING FOR ... Sigh ... but i presume that would require actualy reading the topic, huh? -_-
I mean just count logic ... Reviving magic exists in this world ... check. Storing magic on scrolls is technicaly possible in this world ... check. Therefore ... lo-gi-ca-ly ... Revivify scrolls in this world can (and obviously do) exist.
What is game mechanic then? Im glad you asked ... lets try to figure that out shall we? There are basicaly just two options:
1) Existence of scroll, wich is in this world completely normal ... containing spell, wich is in this world completely normal ... that allows you to ressurect person who recently died, wich is in this world completely normal ...
OR
2) Limiation coming out of nowhere, that have no equal in this whole existence ... allowing you to use this scroll only on certain beings, and only in certain circumstances ... and if those conditions are not met, the things isnt just "not working" but you cant even try to use it at all somehow ...
Take as much time as you need, i know my answer.

Sigh ... Wich part of sentence "Revivify scrolls should be much more expensive and rare" you need me to repeat? O_o

By all accounts in terms of gameplay logic we are considered dead after all, but the story does not respect this logic exactly because of this.
Concidering this question was answered about year and half ago ... this is actualy cute. There was whole pages written about this, and i would really dislike this topic to turn into another one ... so i feel strong urge to ask you to use "Seach" button in top right corner if you want more details.
But in really short, so you dont say i didnt answer you: Tadpole is in your brain ... what you know > it knows ... And what it knows is that you will be ressurected > therefore it dont leave. As for crushing ... our head is never crushed in this game ... therefore such argument is void. The only thing that is odd is Withers, who ressurect us with tadpole even if our whole body burns to atoms in lava ... but Withers is game mechanic, so he is completely irellevant to this topic.
Thats all i say on this matter here. And i would appreciate same from you.

And as *i* mentioned abowe ... as much abowe, so its OP ... meaning basicaly reason for this topic to exist: That is exactly what i want to change.
So curent state is not relevant.
