Yes please. It's common for me to invest a couple of minutes into accurate character creation and than get screwed by ants on PC2 or killed by assasin in Lawenilothehl... several times in a row... I believe many newcomers must be feeling the same.
Also I seem to remember now that I think about it that we used to be able to create a 'n'ew game of the same type directly from the game over screen.
Probably disabled now due to the bewildering number of options available for a new game.
But IMHO being able to 'r'etry with the same character or create a 'n'ew character using the same gameworld settings are both very intuitive.
Yep, I remember that option to start over too. Retaining the starting age of the character would ensure that all the stats are exactly equal, something which is not done in point-based attribute selection.
