I agree, losing a random skill point or 2 would be a fair implementation. There are already mods that allow you to keep your character on death but drop all equipment. I think once MP drops, similar mods/features will become very popular as they will make the game more accessible to novice players plus add some security and longevity to the late game. I think regardless Mods for this feature will be common place so the sandbox/MP options may as well implement them.

Controversial I know but hear me out. The 41 update in my opinion has enhanced the playability ten fold. I understand this is a hardcore game however I think adding a world creation option to respawn your character will be essential to mp servers once mp is implemented. The 41 update has made the game so much better than before and when mp starts there will be a need for longer survivability in such an unforgiving game. What I suggest is an option in the world creation menu where upon death, you drop all your items but can respawn at your bed/spawn location. This way you keep all skills learned but still lose your gear. Having the ability to invest into skills that you keep throughout a server/wipe in my opinion will facilitate in retaining a much larger amount of new players. I'd love to hear your feedback.
