Okay I need opinions.
So I was doing a random quest and while jumping like an idiot, I get stuck between a rock and a hard place...literally.
I was on the gound so I figured, okay Ill just fast travel. Not so fast, a dragon was flying around and "You can not fast travel with enemies nearby"
So I had to load from an earlier save.
So technically a real person would have died there from being stuck...
So does this count? Ive already "died" twice. One from a glitch where my game froze for a minute, I come back and im in an action sequence with someone running their blade through me. I didnt count that, game glitch. (I was hiding when it froze)
And another time I was walking...game freeze, next thing I know Im falling and dead.
I didnt count these and maybe I should...but this one Im feeling sceptical about.

So...opinions?

this one is totally on you I'm afraid. Sure, in 'real life' you'd indeed die. Personally, the game ends for me where the game is supposed to not challenge you (meaning that they didn't intentionally develop it so that you could get stuck, or so I assume). I would load, or try to kill that dragon from where I was, if at all possible. But to be honest a fast travel out is just as bad as a load

If you want to play it properly I suppose it will have to count, but it's your game. If you can't be bothered to start again then just carry on.

Pretend M'aiq came along and saved you

For a game glitch like getting stuck between two places where you can't move and there is nothing you can do? I wouldn't count it. I only count deaths where I am defeated in combat or die from my own stupidity. If the game derps and I can't control it then it doesn't count.

I say you die. You got stuck in there and either the dragon would have chomped on you or you would have starved to death. But it's your game no one will know if you 'don't count' your deaths...but then you're not really playing DID

I wouldnt count it unless I was in active combat with the dragon. If the dragon was not aggro and just happened to be near by with no chance of attacking I would not count it.

hmm thats one, you pick, one you're dead, and one because it wasnt combat related or killing myself...
I might wait for a few moe replies.
But the dragon couldnt see me, I was in sneak, and I have plenty of food, probably enough for a week if we're getting realistic.
If I dont get moe replies I might say that someone heard me shouting and saved me...

Ever see 127 Hours? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1542344/reviews *SPOILER ALERT*
Did you have a dagger with you? If so, you continue playing with only the "R" trigger. No two handed weapons allowed. If not? DEAD IS DEAD.

This.

Glitches traditionally don't count for DiD.

I'd call getting stuck a glitch, especially given there's quite a few seemingly innocuous places where you can get stuck.
