Booo spoilers! Booo! I used to do quests with guides, but at some point (around the time I was high enough level to reliably catch quests the day they came out I think) I said 'no screw this from now on I'm questing blind'. Which was AWESOME. A couple times I was a little late and had to flee from friends chat on quest day so I didn't get spoiled, but other times (HI RITUAL OF THE MAHJARRAT) I was there on the dot of update and everyone was just as blind as me.
In a more relevant-to-character-death thing there's this one quest, While Guthix Sleeps, where a WHOLE TON of characters die. And I didn't have the levels to do it. And this was before my no-spoiler policy, so I found out who all got offed. Six of my favorite characters! Six! SIX! Aaaaargh. But then again that was my fault for reading the guides people put out, and even knowing how everything was going to go down I still got a whole lot of awesome story.
In the case of game-relevant characters that died in WGS (some of the WGS-killed characters WEREN'T >:( okay only two who didn't have any ongoing job but those two were the most important to ME because I LIKED them) they got switched out for replacements once you complete the quest. Actually you recruit them for a battle and they're replaced then, and the ones who die just never take their job back.
Oooh, nice. I always like the idea of hovering out of reach, except when whatever I'm fighting or chasing down does it. Hi aviantese, at least you don't move much so I can fill you with bolts. Hi implings, I really hate it when you fly over water.
