Why can't "Give Up" just kill you instantly instead of resetting your run?

Currently in the middle of allowing myself to get rammed by Chariots because I got some ♥♥♥♥♥♥ Daedalus upgrades (coronacht flurry, both). Actually it just finished right now and I'd estimate it took a good 5-10 minutes.

It just seems to ridiculous to me that you actually have to wait for yourself to get killed (ESPECIALLY if you have three charges of death defiance) instead of pressing Give Up. Give Up doesn't work currently because it keeps the seed of your run, meaning you'll get the same stuff if you go the same route.

I'd personally like it if Give Up either killed you on the spot or actually changed the seed.

I could see the benefit of there being a faster way to kill yourself, but there's also a sizable chunk of the speedrunning community that does seeded runs. Gotta consider their wants and needs too.

Because it would encourage people to just keep resetting until they get the starting boon they want. Part of the idea of roguelikes is to learn how to make it work with what you're given, not to just keep resetting until you get what you need.

Some games allow people who can't handle RNG to reset until they get what they need to make the run easy. Some don't. This one doesn't. Maybe it's not the game for you?

From a Developer's standpoint I'd say this makes a lot of sense.

Back to the OP, the only thing that is the same is the very beginning, from the 2nd room onwards the room and room rewards get randomized, so what you're complaining about is fairly moot. You don't have to kill yourself to have a different run.
