In some video games, such as RPGs, you start off by selecting your characters stats. For example you're given 30 points to allocate into strength, intelligence, dexterity, luck, etc. And each time you level up you're given an additional number of points. There are often several different classes that benefit from certain stats. For example, a warrior would want more points on strength, and a mage would want more points in intelligence. Sometimes when just starting out, a player will allocate points incorrectly for the class that they end up wanting to be; a mage with excessive strength is useless. I'm these cases, where too many incorrect choices have been made and too much has gone wrong, the best option is usually to just give up on the character and start over. 

That is what I want to do. So much has gone wrong that fixing everything would be too costly and not worth it in the end. There doesn't seem to be any point in trying because the best case scenario is merely mediocre. I wish I could exit and just start all over.
