Some extra context for those who have not played: PoE2 does not hold your hand. When I was learning the game that fight killed me too. But I wasn’t claiming to be one of the best players, (I’d still describe myself as bad) and that same fight can’t even hit me now.

Not entirely accurate. He died to the tutorial fight first. The guy who is supposedly one of the best players in the world.

If anything went through his head other than possibly a bullet, it would not shock me at all if “why me” or “what did I do to deserve this” was there. No one with intact empathy or a conscience could do what he did. If he was capable of recognizing his failings he wouldn’t have been willing to earn his wealth by stepping on the necks of the sick.
