Kostas
Dormant Watcher
I don't recall that getting someone resurrected in a temple means losing their items.
Afaik, the only way you can lose items is if the character is disintegrated, petrified and shattered, or banished (Imprison spell). Those effects are permanent except for Imprisonment which can be reversed.
Yeah it seems you're right. Don't even want to think of the time I wasted due to this on inventory management here (and possibly in PS:T)
Edit:
While I'm here:
I remember some complaints regarding how the EE handled/changed cinematics or something like that. Since I'm not sure what was the case in the original, did it also advance the story through voice-over'ed and flowing text+image after resting?
