What do you do? (read post first)


You are near the end of a very long fight in an RPG. The boss kills most of your party members, but you have one left who is strong enough to finish the fight on their own. However, in this game, KO'd party members do not gain experience after the fight. What do you do?

Unless I'm on the verge of being wiped out and I need one desperate attack to win, I'm taking the time to revive everyone.

If I'm confident I can safely revive everyone I will do so. But if there's a risk of dying in the process and having to do the whole thing again, I'll just cut my losses and take the solo kill.

If it's still my first try, I will play risky.

If this is my fifth attempt and I've wasted a lot of time already I'd just finish it.

Just kill the boss unless it's a game where it's possible to have everyone at the exact same exp.

any boss fight that can be described as "lengthy" is getting finished as soon as possible, fuck the EXP

I'm not giving it five attempts but otherwise this.

Does the experience from the boss get split among party members? i.e. do i get the same number of experience points, just concentrated in the one who is left alive?

Because if that's the case I won't bother reviving anyone.

i'd revive because i wouldn't trust in general that there's not another phase or a fight right after

Probably just finish it these days. Unless it was short enough to where Id be fine risking dying.

I probably would try to revive if it were just one party member though, assuming revival items are plentiful.

Nah, it ultimately never matters because you can make it up elsewhere one way or another. It's just the principle of the thing!

No, I mean, I can't think of a game I've played where boss fights give really meaty experience bonuses and the party needs to be alive to receive them.

I feel like most RPGs don't give EXP to dead party members.

Unless you're talking about just the amount of EXP

This. It drives my OCD up a wall when my characters aren't at the same level.
