Yeah, there needs to be some kind of fail-safe included. The very game is designed to play not just one character, but generations of characters which require a huge time investment. Then if/when you do restart, there is no way to guarantee it won't happen again and I rather just quit then to start again. All my my new saves on PS5 are corrupted and I can't advance in my game at all and restartinga play-through isn't an option for me at this point.
