So I'm pursuing my Heart's Desire, and one of the people I can speak to about it is the Boatman. But I've gotten this far in London without dying, and I can't help but wonder if dying will lock me out of other content further down the line. I know that once you die down in the Neath you can never return to the Surface, but I don't know if that has any effect in game.
