i personly don't like killing, and my stomach turned when the brew master got blown up. i agree, death isn't the only option to make a sad ending. loss in freindship, hope, health and many things can substitue for death of a main character. i would also hate it if abe just stays alive, it would be better in that case if he did die (like when the enimy captures the goodie, but they don't kill them, they put them in a place with they escape from, and sometimes kill the baddies. i hate it when that happens).
an example of a sad, happy ending is that abe forms a truce with an industralist, he excapes a factory and travels to a place to find him, and finds out other glockons have gotten ride of him. (yes i know it contained death, but it wasn't realy a goody)
