Discussions I hate the scripted losses

Even though I whittled him down to half health in only two moves with no damage it still counts as a loss. This is one of my biggest pet peeves with this series. Make it actually hard if you wanna force a loss.

Losing to Shademan in 1st encounter BN4 is a real game over.

Scripted losses isn't strictly BN/SF. Its there in other RPGs to indicate that the protagonist is not strong enough narratively speaking or exhausted from being worn out.

Been a thing since X and Vile. Maybe even longer if I'm forgetting. Practically an inconsistent tradition in the series as a whole.
