NPCs with plot armor, does it bother you?

I'm not hungry for blood, don't get me wrong (tho a good emotional death would be good for a change) but it's like - Hey, hey guys look! This character may die, what will happen next!?
No, no they won't. They will survive like everyone else did.

Yeah, I agree with you, OP. The plot armor can be incredibly annoying, especially for characters like Thancred and Estinien, who are used as deus ex machinas, now it may be the case that Thancred can still buy it(oh gods I hope he gets it) but being able to tell who will survive in whatever battles are left to fight before they start by virtue of programming code difficulty cuts out the stakes, it greatly affects a war story and can make what is supposed to the underdog seem the boring invincible hero.
