I've been playing this game for awhile now and have made it to the Clerks Ward. All this time, I have never turned down a fight and have instigated quite a few myself. Up to this point however, I have only been killed maybe twice. I read somewhere that when you die, you sometimes remember more of your past. Should I be letting TNO die in battle more often? Is this a silly question or what?

I died many times my first few goes, but i do not remember ever gaining any xP due to my deaths, i would not go out of my way to get killed, but it is'nt that much of a problem if you do.

Well i successfully confused myself, how about you?

I haven't played the game enough to know for sure, but in the beginning it seemed to me like the spots where you were supposed to die were pretty clearly shown to you. For instance, in the Dustman Bar, when you talk to the guy by the door (no clue what his name was) you go far enough in the dialog, and he asks if he can kill you, since he doesn't really believe that you are immortal and he is suicidal anyways. I let him kill me, gained some memories and a skill, I believe. But when I died in normal combat, nothing really special happened.

Dying doesn't get you any memories. Having a higher wisdom might trigger a few.

However, dying can be useful. For example, if you're surrounded and the odds are against your party, don't reload: just die. You'll all reappear in the nearest safe zone. (This can be especially useful in the Modron maze if you haven't tracked your route properly, or are just too tired to run all the way back. Simply let yourself be killed, and you're back in the first room of the maze.)
