Are you using latest version of the EET games, that is 2.5?

humm no I don't use EET, just the EET tweak

Sorry, I meant "EE" games, not EET

The scripting issue is only a problem in EET and BGEE. SoD expansion and BG2EE are (currently) unaffected.

I found this inside BDANGATH.BCS:

IF
    Global("BD_ANDRUS_GO","GLOBAL",0)
THEN
    RESPONSE #100
        SetInterrupt(FALSE)
        ForceSpellRES("BDGAMEOV",Player1) // Trap the Soul
        SmallWait(15)
        FadeToColor([10.0],0)
        GameOver(219377) // The main character has been killed. You must restart the game.
        SetGlobal("BD_ANDRUS_GO","GLOBAL",1)
        SetInterrupt(TRUE)
END

Do you know what it is?

 

EDIT: Got an explanation on another forum.

Game over triggering when the protagonist dies is scripted.

Before installing this mod, open BALDUR.BCS with Near Infinity and search for "GameOver". Either remove the whole block where this script action is included or add "False()" before or after the "!InParty(Player1)"  trigger. Do the same in BDBALDUR.BCS and BALDUR25.BCS.

I found out something curious. After applying the tweak, the BCS files you mentioned will contain this:

IF
    OR(3)
        NumInPartyAlive(0)
        StateCheck(Player1,STATE_EXPLODING_DEATH)
        StateCheck(Player1,STATE_FROZEN_DEATH)
THEN
    RESPONSE #100
        GameOver(19377) // The main character has been killed. You must restart the game.
END

I made some tests, and I found out that upon death by petrification, game ends anyway.

The game doesn't end if I modify the script into this:

IF
        NumInPartyAlive(0)
THEN
    RESPONSE #100
        GameOver(19377) // The main character has been killed. You must restart the game.
END

Sounds right to you?
