One of the things I love in the game Project Zomboid is that the game is technically hardcore as in you only get one life. However if you die in a save, you get the option to continue that save as a new character. This makes the world feel more lived in as the player gets to decide if they go back to their old base and just continue where they left off, or go off somewhere new since the new character wouldn't know about the base.
Lends itself to a lot more roleplaying opportunities as well since if you're playing a certain character, dying allows you to have a fresh start. So that in long term multiplayer servers, you're not locked into whatever choice you made when first joining
Would be cool to see
