Don’t think I’ll bother with the fragile charms anymore. The busywork they punish you with for dying isn’t worth it.

    Thia framing is dishonest too. Yes, if you never save your game, dying is worse in a game with manual saves. But if you actually use the feature like most people do and save frequently, you may lose less progress on death.

    But that’s an argument of autosaves vs. manual, which is aside from corpse retrieval, which could exist independently of auto/manual saves

      It’s not “dishonest”, I have lost hours of progress, many times, to forgetting to save or not realising a difficult section was coming up. How is that “dishonest”? What are you getting out of being so antagonistic? I considered this but genuinely didn’t think anyone would be such an asshole about it.

        Okay, it’s not dishonest. You’re right that I don’t know how earnestly you hold your position.

        But it is a misrepresentation of the arguments. It’s a false dichotomy. You’re conparing as souls-like corpse retrieval against manual saves at save points, when there are games that autosave near bosses without requiring corpse retrieval, that don’t erase progress or impose a death penalty.
