No, if characters who got knocked down in the middle of combat get back up after its just to short circuit the damn stupid "crap one of my guys died time to reload" syndrome. Honestly, the number of people who would just let a character in their party die because of a bad attack roll and be permanently dead in these games is so small a percentage of gamers as to be completely inconsequential. And no author of any story ever kills a main character off unless it has some sort of point for the storyline.
Imagine if, in the middle of The lord of the rings, Gandalf choked on a turnip while eating supper and died. That would have made that story SO much better. Dramatic impact and pacing +100!!!
Its got nothing to do with cut-scenes. It adds nothing to the storyline, and Bio and a lot of other companies have realised that players are just going to reload anyway, so they've been helpful and saved us a few button clicks.
The first one to post some pretentious shit about how their role-playing cock is bigger than mine and if a member of their party died they wouldn't reload just gets The Glare.
