Or it could be both persons dying together holding hand ?
If one of you, among 2 persons… need to cover for your partner’s escape , how are you going to convince your partner to leave while you cover for him/her ? Are you going to be convince by your partner to leave first while he/she cover for you ?
In the end , could it be that both of you refuse to leave and die together?
Oh god yes. I’m definitely the one dying. Alone, I’ll fight beyond my own endurance. Only once I know he’s (or she’s) safe will I falter.
I know that he’ll suffer for a time. Losing me in some cruel place will haunt him. He’ll wake up in the night picturing my broken body lost among my enemies.
Eventually, though he’ll forget a little. He’ll sleep through the night. He’ll find someone new. He’ll be happy again.
That will be enough for me.
I’m too scared to read your story and romance anyone now. I WON’T LET YOU HURT ME!
You are too admirable… even to the extend of wishing your partner finding another life partner 
Well, i do actually hope our partner won’t give up on us too easily …Lol
@No_This_Is_Patrick hey , these are potential happenings, i got them from the novels i read… the I am number 4 series and wardstone chronicles … not your usual happily ever after, that’s why i am wondering what everyone perception on these circumstances…
@Camille622 , you remind me of Sarah Hart from the I am number 4 series , she joins a dangerous quest even when she didn’t have special power
I think it’s different depending on the person you love: sometimes it’s better take him/her with you, sometimes it’s better leave him/her at home.
But if you want my opinion… I would like take her with me because if we are a couple we must face each other problems and enemies together
Oh it’s a hard one;
I guess that it depends on the playthrough a little, but I’ve played Choice of Rebels and I loved it, and for me it comes down to the following -
Which leader are you? I know you love your chosen one, it is ever so obvious, But yes then there are still some things to consider.
I agree with you … bringing along the love one is also in the sense that we trust his/her ability … for the partner who doesn’t possess the ability to defend themselves , of course it is more logical to hide them as far as possible … however one can also argue that we are leaving the love one at the mercy og others…
For the partner who possess an equal ability like us , naturally he/she is our most trusted companion and our adventure together can be pass on as legend to our grandchildren :-)
What about if your partner is much more skilled or able than you … would you want to test the relationship you have with them by involving them in your problems?
Yeah… of course, is there any reason why we shouldn’t :-)
?
If we would ask a friend or colleague to help us out on something , why shouldn’t we ask help from those closest to us ? At least we should bring up our problem for discussion , if our love one couldn’t help us … then there shouldn’t be any ill feeling …
Well…i bring up an example from Guns of Infinity , when Katarina request our help for the secret mission, there is nothing wrong for her to request the help from the one she most trusted… even though my MC is not the best capable person , but i guess in this case… trustworthy is more important than capability :-)
however, i had read that Katarina will be most sadden if we refuse her pledge … so perhaps that is your concern ? But i would think to bring out the issue will at least let both person have an open heart discussion on the problem…
I would think the main reason we don’t bring up the problem to our love one is perhaps we are insecure about whether our love one truly love us enough ? :-) or we would like to maintain a certain image in front of them ?? Anyway… that is personal decision … personally i won’t mind revealing any problem i have with my love one…
I get the whole “leave your loved one to a faith you wont be able to directly controle” thing, it’s a headsmasher - I usually go with deep consideration of possible outcomes and a bit of gut feeling when I ship away my ROs or keep them with me, in almost every case I try to be Fair considering their abilities to handle whatever may come with And/Or without my help, and then I make my decision, very much more logic based before emotional so long as it’s not a “I know i’m gonna sacrificy myself for you” moment.
I’d rather take a backlash later for how I didn’t let my loved one fight before seeing them get killed in battle just because they’re eager to prove themselves.
Perhaps.
Insecurity in a relationship, fear of the unknown or some other unnamed motivation might lead you to question changing the dynamic of your relationship.
Anytime there is a change in the dynamics of a relationship, that change has a possibility of changing the relationship. As an example: if your situation becomes one where you go from being equals to one where you are reliant on your loved one… how will they deal with everything that entails? How will you handle the changes?
There is more to consider than appears at first blush, isn’t it?
To be fair… it could be us getting killed instead 
But i could accept the sense where we don’t want to bring our love one so that they won’t see us getting killed … it would be a traumatic experience for them …
@Eiwynn… hmmmm, well… i think the best solution is don’t give false promises which we may not able to achieve , and don’t over exagerrated our own ability while we are in the courting phase… at such, at least we will have the comfort of knowing the love feeling was not based on impression about our ability … 
Like the case of Katarina again, she already knew my MC was a less decorated person in term of ability … soldiering skill of 15 …but she chose my MC based on a trusted relationship , and when i blame myself for allowing Aleksandra to escape , her comforting word of not allowing me to feel guilt about the occasion actually serve to strengten our relationship
@Eric_knight So very true, and one should be nothing less than considerative 
To answer the other parts of the conversation since todays chat began: @Eiwynn
When it comes to real relationships in real life or the ones written in storys I think one wins a lot by being honest from the beginning. Sure, the one you like might not always like you back for who you are, but in that case at least you know they are an assh*le, or just not right for you however you want to put it.
Then the other truth is that people change, because of stuff that happens, stuff you directly do or they just change because they do, we all do with the years ( said the oldest 27year old ever ) , but I hope you get my point.
There is plenty of good people for I persume everyone( however cheesy ), and I also believe that most of us spend most of our times with people we could like more than we do for longer then we have to. But love is still as real as ever.
^^
@Eiwynn “What about if your partner is much more skilled or able than you … would you want to test the relationship you have with them by involving them in your problems?”
If you know or guess that your partner is better than you at something you should be proud as MC (of your own life or in a story), and take advantage of their skills when possible, maybe learn something and become stronger yourself at that skill. I think it’s important to remember and be humble before the fact that One person can not do Everything, even if One person might be able to do what’s impossible.
You can’t be the best at everything so best start being happy for being good at something, at least. ^^
And because of that it is good to have friends and loved ones around that also are good at stuff, maybe even better than you. That should just mean you’re lucky.
@Eric_knight you should play Banner Saga.
@will I’ve played the Banner Saga 1-3 and it’s great. ^^ fun to hear it mentioned!
All of you guys should go on to googleplay and download a stand-alone thing called “Kai Chronicles”, real oldschool d&d stats and a classic fantasy story. 12 books to download for free following the same/your MC through all and everyone is kind of like a CoG story, amazeballs. Pardon my french.
Peace ^^
Does it have anything to do with the theme of choosing to put your family in danger like Banner Saga, or is it just a game that you like?
Well … i suppose the same philosophy could be appiled in any story or real life venture…
Since no matter where or who we are , we will be burden by such dilemma eventually … It is about whether the decision to leave your love one behind from all “knoelwledge” or " harm " is a good one …
A man could apply the same reason to persuade his wife not to work , and stay at home for reason to make them “safe” from outside influence …
But, it could be a sound judgement if his wife agree with it since attending to their children or household management is also a delicate task…
If the wife insist on working instead of staying at home, i don’t think we should force our wife to stay with the reason of “safe” ?
Well this is a case of who is good at what and what the home situation is like.
If we’re just a pair of vagabonds with no real home other than some cabin we occasionally rest at, then she might as well just come with me.
If we’ve got a fortress to upkeep (or something similar), obviously I’m going to want someone competent there to look after it while I’m gone. Her being at home is no guarantee of being “safe” since the home could be attacked, its more of just a question of trusting someone to take care of the other half of the responsibilities.
So that being said, got no problem if I stay at home while she goes play adventurer. Someone still needs to look after the place.
