[Ash:Phoenix]What happens when you die

Anyway.

I need to know what the community thinks is the best option for death consequences. I am currently completely on the fence about these two choices. Please vote, discuss other options and the available options here. Thanks!

Option 1: Load at last save point
Advantages: very easy and small, most people end up doing this in RPGs that use option two merely by just shutting the game off w/o saving
Disadvatages: Can ruin games where you forgot to save, can trap players in dungeons (think saving in the middle of the Elite 4 in pokemon; it means that if you can't beat them, you have to force yourself to whiteout)

edit: I should mention that the save points are user defined. You can save wherever you want, whenever you want, as long as you're not in the middle of a cutscene, a conversation, or a battle


Option 2: Pokemon Style
Advantages: Classic, doesn't trap player if they die in a dungeon
Disadvantages: Getting half (or even three quarters) of your money stolen isn't much of a punishment for dying

Aichi:
I dont like option 1. D: As you said, it isnt a good idea to make the loss dependent of the moment where you saved last time.
Option 2 sounds better, but what about resetting the experience value (if your game supports a level up system) instead of losing money? I would hate it to lose money. :D

J/k I prefer going back to loading screen or last save point. I'm not a big fan of the losing money/exp thing like in Dragon Warrior and MMORPGs that my bro plays, because you don't progress sometimes.

Is TI coding it? Or is that just some sort of incentive program...
