Consider the emotional beat of victory. In a standard playthrough, defeating a boss like Our Lady of the Charred Visage after the tenth attempt floods the brain with dopamine precisely because of the high stakes. The player knows that if they die at 5% boss health, they will have to traverse a poison swamp again, reclaim their guilt, and fight through the first phase. The tension is real. In a savescummed run, that tension evaporates. If the player can simply reload a hot save placed directly outside the boss door, the boss ceases to be a terrifying deity and becomes a pattern-recognition puzzle. The Miracle is reduced to an algorithm.
