It seems to me that this is the only adventure game where there are completely random deaths that you can in no way anticipate. I’ve encountered two: one was when I was taking the route across the country and the main character simply fell into the river when he was crossing. Another one was encountering a storm which sunk the ship when taking the long way by sea. I wasn’t all that annoyed by these deaths since they do fit in and I had recent saved games. It’s a shame very few games incorporate total randomness like that.
