User blog comment:1hs444/Too much plot armor?/@comment-23782751-20140716150527

Another little thing that I didn't think was too significant to bring up, but I'm trying to consider the reader.

Dramatic moments in every 5 minutes make us like we aren't main characters. The main characters of a series deserve Plot Armor. Pretend like we are playing in Normal rather then Legendary difficulty, so we can rush into an enemy squad and will come out victorious with battle scars, but not horrifically and brutally murdered. Recent roleplay really uncovered that for me. While I know that we aren't Rambo, we are the bad a** protagonists of a mercenary team. Would Noble 6 succumb to being killed after being on the battlefield for 5 seconds? A little more flexibility and plot armor would be nice, but we have to make sure that we aren't to the level of being indestructible.
