You can actually reach a dead end in Monkey Island 2, if you really want to. I remember proving it some 10 years ago in a newsgroup: if you insert ALL your pieces of eight in the grog machine, there is no way you can finish the game. It took me more than an hour to do it. Pathetic, I know...
Regarding the topic, I've always saved my games very often therefore I don't mind dying. In fact, dying sequences can add to the experience if they match the game's theme: funny if it's a comedy adventure, scary if it's a horror adventure. I'm thinking Leisure Suit Larry and Phantasmagoria.
