I think you misunderstood what I said about restarting. A lot of people, especially those who are new, will get stuck in some kind of death loop around day 3-6. Death is intended. A death LOOP is not. A loop will stop your progress.
I have seen loads of people give those folks a min-max itinerary and tell them to restart and play ALL of that story again. Do you think people will get to day 6 again if they have to read all that text again? Do you think they'll have a good experience story-wise? Do you think they will ever finish it? It's not a short game. It's definitely not about min-maxing either. Restarting is a great way to break the emotional journey.
What I think people should do in a death loop is to temporarily turn down what they need to turn down and turn it back up after they're through whatever they were stuck on.
Sorry. I went overboard and started arguing with people who aren't here. I do think 2 days is way too far for most people to want to go back. I didn't even want to go back to that morning the one time I accidentally traded away a quest item for a snack.
