Haha wow, thanks guys. I wasn't expecting such a positive response.
I dunno why, but this dude killing me really affected me. Well, I always do stuff like this with games, but this game especially.
I've never gotten into Haven and Heart in the "actual" way of joining a village, fighting with people, etc, but I always get into it for a few days at a time and go crazy playing as a hermit. The thing is that, every other time I've played, I always end for my own reasons: I did something stupid and died by the game mechanics (i.e. starving, drowning), I give up and stop playing (happened to me when I had an outpost with some guys from 420chan.org and one guy put a claim on what I built and kicked me out), or I just lose interest. This time, however, it was totally something out of my control. I always knew I had to expect something like that with this game, but it never really hit me until I got killed.
I was hanging with a friend last night and told him about it and, every once in a while, I'd just go "He stabbed me, man! With a sword! How weird is that?" I dunno. For some reason I can't get my mind off of it.
Now, I've created a new character and am attempting to locate where I started on the map to plot out a trek to my old camp. A few people asked for coords, and I'm not sure what they'd do with my camp but if you want I can post a picture of where my old camp is on the map.
