Is Love Worth A Restart??

Very quick thought to get off my chest.
How do we feel about restarting a save/game to get a better outcome?
Let's even call it an emotional outcome??

And, before you cry HAX & CHEATER, I want to preface this by explaining that it's not about winning. (Traditional winning, at least.) I don't do it for loot, or gear. I don't do it because I won (or lost) a specific battle, because I didn't get a fancy mount or the sexiest armor.

I DO have a tendency to throw myself off of a convenient cliff - or in front of a nearby wolf- when I get an absolute shit spawn in TLD's Timberwolf Mountain, but who amongst us...

As part of team "not usually a fan of stories in video games", I do sometimeeess get hooked on storylines/characters. Way way back in the day, in the time of FF8, I may have had a separate memory card dedicated to specific save points before my favorite cut scenes.

I'm currently ankle deep in Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days - and still deciding if I like it or not - and, of the half dozen 'scenario' teams you can start with, the only one I find interesting is the one for the young couple in love. (It would be great to add more characters, even as paid DLC, I'd love to see a pair of BFFs or something!) So it's been a bit aggravating for me when I lose one of the 'lovers', as compared to the (possibly several) times I've sent less valuable people out to what later proved to be their deaths.

(Not intentionally, though, heavens no. This ain't Sims!)

And, I'll be honest, when one half of the pair dies... I just fucking delete the save and start over. Have I lost really amazing starts that way? Hell yes. Have I lost saves where I had a lot of resources, or I'd had some great RNG loot luck, or whatever? YUP.

But, yanno what, fuck it. I want (their) love to survive.

Stupid or nah?
