I am playing on hardcore with ironman enabled.

The fact that there is absolutely nothing you can do to prevent being cursed (and thus having to spend your entire money on getting rid of curses, or simply playing cursed the entire game), except for reloading the game makes curses terribly designed.

If the cost of getting rid of them wasn´t scaling up, it would be fine, but as it stands the cost to remove curses is so exorbitantly high, that the best two alternatives are to either reload and try and not get cursed in the first place, or to stay cursed forever.

Reloading should NEVER be the preferable choice.

Curses literally make me wanna quit the game.
