I understand exactly what you mean Khayne, and I myself subscribe this way of playing. It makes the game much more difficult because you can cheat through reloads. As for myself, the farthest I ever made it, with my PC, without dying, was all the way up to Draconis in Throne of Bhaal. The son of a bitch wiped us out in the blink of an eye. Mainly because I had no idea on what tactics to use to kill him. But it took me the better part of a year and a half to play the series several times, and know how to get out of a jam. Playing realistically also makes you brainstorm faster, because you have to think quick in order to stay alive. However, I treat my PC differently. If any of my party members are killed I usually revive them at one of the temples. The whole godly intervention thing works for me, but since your PC is a spawn of Bhaal, and dying would destroy him or her completely, I just start over.
