With scroll of resurrection and clerics in my party, I always play the "death" right through. Of course, there are exceptions: 1) NPC dies as a result of critical hit, I don't have glue to put the body parts together (hence reload), or 2) a specific NPC gets turned into stone (ARGH!!!) and leaves my party after I turn the NPC from stone to fresh (hence, reload).
As for favorite character, my favorite is either cavalier or berserker/mage. I used to play paladins (specifically cavaliers), they are pretty well rounded characters through out the game. One reason due to Holy Avenger. But later I realized the importance of magic, and after some misfortunes with Kangaxx, I've decided to create a berserker then dual him to a mage at level 12. Berserker is one of the better fighter types in the game (not as much damage as Kensai, but still a decent tank), he is immune to spells like maze and imprisonment once he is enraged and he can wear armor. With the Bladesinger (elven chain), my berserker can always have a decent armor class while being able to cast magic. The last time I played him he had Crom Faeyr in his off hand and Celestial Fury in main hand, he can deal average damage well above 20s per hit.
