I wrote this a response to a question and thought as a player for over 10 years i share my responce.

Look. Its called grief.its real. Gamer Grief.

I know ur like wtf.

u had a charicter and invested SO MUCH.

This game can be a lesson in understanding the grief process or...

u can CHICKEN SHIT out and never play the game again in Reaction to ur very normal emotional knee jerk.

Denial, (no... No... That... Didn't just happen) Anger (thats STUPID! WHU WOULD I PLAY THAT AGAIN!) Bargaining. (REDIT how do i save or recover a gane?) , Depression, ( i cant just start again. It would not be the same without *my character _we went through SO MUCH TOGETHER!

Acceptance. (FUK IT. that was awsome and BRUTAL. I was BORN for this type of game. All or NOTHING . Let my guard down one time or make a single mistake... IM WORTHY OF THE HALLS OF VALHALLA!)

This is a brutal game. And no.. Its not not fair when u invested so much BUT

ITS ALSO THE FAIREST GAME I'VE EVER PLAYED. **THIS IS HOW YOU DIED **

process the loss. Learn about YOURSELF self. Then come back to the brutal meat blender and become a better gamer and a better more emotionally rounded human being in the process.

Sure. Take time to grieve. But dont get stuck in that process. You were born for this.
