So yesterday I FINALLY got my copy of the game and I was excited as all hell. I managed to stay away from wikis and spoilerfests as much as I could for this game, which is quite unique for me. I picked a Thief (mostly because of the cool-looking armor) and went on my grand adventure.

Things were going quite well. I killed a lot of demons and they in turn killed me a lot. It was a weird ying-yang thing going on, but it was all in good fun. Until I met a prisoner in a cage behind a breakable wall inside that church with one of the bells up top. At first I didn't think twice about freeing him; after all I had just joined the Way of White covenant and felt I had to live up to my new vows. But then he just sat there, laughing like a mad villain, promising me of a "future reward after he do some work". I panicked, thinking I've set loose Lucifer, and swiftly hit him with my blade. Unfortunatly he didn't like that one bit, and slaughtered me faster than I could say "oh piss".

After returning back to life I slowly started to ponder what the fuck I was doing. I attacked a NPC, and I was well aware of that once you attack one of those there's no going back. It's his life or yours. Did I fuck up an awesome questreward down the line? Maybe he was just a misunderstood bloke with a creepy laugh? I had to sleep on it, and today I'm sure of it: I'm restarting with a new character where I won't attack him. Bad idea? I'll see eventually, but I at least want to see what this promised reward will bring me down the line...

So what about you? Have you played with only one character, accepting any and all consequences you've brought upon yourself? Or have you, like me, just said "fuck it" and restarted all over again no matter the amount of lost progress?
