have we considered that it might effect the ending you get when you finnish the game? as far as we are aware it could change alot of things that we have yet to see
That is fair. I usually like to experiment and test the waters with game mechanics to see what I can or can't get away with but I never really thought of the amount of "deaths" you experience could possibly effect the ending to your run. Guess that's as good a reason as any to not let yourself "die" then.
