So the thing about Souls games is that they have the appearance of being punishing, but actually aren't. All the mechanics are set up to favor you and operate under the assumption that you'll die periodically, and are carefully manipulated to make it feel like you're struggling when actually you're just making perfectly normal progress through the game. Death is barely a setback at all.
