144. Because there are four of you, multiplied by the three major protagonists (counting the donkey), and you square them. Q.E.D.

If there's any place where Prince of Persia really failed, it's these things. There's only 4 powers, half of which mildly interesting and the other half are just "push the button when we tell you".

Shifty gimbal: Dec 28, 2008; Hey you... I got something to tell ya; Biscuit Hider

That first real Ruined Citadel zone ("bubble", actually -- we'd call the zones bubbles and areas in between them sticks), it's etched in my brain. The thing is though, I don't remember why it's notable. Maybe it's because the wall grabbies made the area way too painful to play compared to most of the rest of the game, but I might straight up be misremembering the rest. It might be because it was one of the first areas that was made and we worked on it for way longer than most of the other areas; I think it was part of the E3 demo. It might also have to do with spending an abnormal amount of time in that bubble since it was really bug prone and complicated. I guess only the rest of the LP will be able to tell. Assuming that it's #2, I'm going to go with 215 deaths.

157. I feel that Nine might be more competent than me at this game... but that his mental faculties DID just go through WKC.

Those of you guessing below 100 remember: neither Artix nor myself are playing the game. This is all crow.

Let's go with 450 deaths.

Nidoking: Jan 27, 2009; I fought the lava, and the lava won.

For the sake of roundness in the universe, 500.

Also, aren't the wall grabbies a direct result of your first encounter with one of the bosses? I think if you leave that boss until later, they won't appear in the early levels, although I'm probably going to turn out to be wrong about that because this section would be far too easy without them.

Kinda. From what I remember, each area introduces a new obstacle, and they will appear in all other areas from that point on. Crow played the Hunters area first, so he gets the wallgrabblies. Had he chosen a different area as first, there would have been no grabblies but something else. Instead, every place from now on has grabblies from the beginning while introducing their own obstacle in turn.

This looks like a 112 death game.

Delta Green: Nov 2, 2012

Counting the number of areas left...

I'd say about 152 deaths. Because for some reason 52 is the number I default to when asked for a number.

# ? Jan 24, 2015 16:41

Zanzibar Ham: Mar 17, 2009; You giving me the cold shoulder? How cruel.; Grimey Drawer

I guess 0 deaths, because technically Nolan North never dies (Elika always saves him).

I know nobody likes technicalities which means I lose, but hey, I actually like my avatar.

That's a hell of a spread. Now I don't know what do; play conservatively and actually try for the achievement, or just go hog wild and see how many KIAs and I rack up between now and the end of Epilogue...

Nidoking: Jan 27, 2009; I fought the lava, and the lava won.

We're not out of the range where 0 could be the best answer yet, are we? I thought the death counter was at 19 in the last video, and the next lowest guess so far is 76. That means 0 is the closest until we hit 38, so we're halfway there.

# ? Jan 24, 2015 22:03

nine-gear crow: Aug 10, 2013

Well, if we're playing by The Prince is Right rules, they don't let you bid 0 on anything, so the next viable* bet would in fact be 1 until we either cross the 76 death threshold or someone puts up a number between 1 and 76. :eng101:

*Viable in theory, at least. The actual next viable bet is 20.

Can't help but notice the list is missing ~~mine~~ some guesses. Anyway, finding out about the stepQTEthingy was pretty much where I gave up on this game - if the abilities all look like that, there's really nothing to look forward to. That being said, I'm really glad someone is LPing this so I can totally confirm my suspicion it doesn't get better.
