I don't mind it too much if it's a natural part of the storyline, like in The Pandora Directive, but mostly I downright hate dying in adventuregames. that's NOT why I play them, if I wanted to die and do the whole thing over again I would play Halo instead.

I feel the same. I never played the classic Sierra adventures, because after dying because I passed a rock on the wrong side my appetite for them was instantly lost. The Pandora Directive contains a very interesting conversation with an extremely nasty thug who works for the NSA. If you give a wrong answer, he'll kill you instantly, but it is always clear why you gave the wrong answer. That is a good example of death or dying actually enhancing the gameplay.
