I would like to suggest a new option for reincarnation.
When reincarnating, this option determines whether or not the NPC you now inhabit would retain knowledge of things, like specific details about maps, combination locks, and achievements. Turning this on will have your score percentage go down for each reincarnation, while having this off will allow you to keep the same score percentage, with the tradeoff that you might not be able to recollect certain achievements and would have to remember things yourself.
I think this ties in well with the Reincarnation option in thematic terms, with the "ON" option being good for the spiritual entity tie-in, while having it set to "OFF" more closely resembles the typical zombie film. Perhaps the description for when given the choice for reincarnation could reflect this, too?
While placing this topic here, I would also like to suggest that each NPC recalls their home district if you reincarnate into them, and Followers of the player's character would retain knowledge accumulated during their journey with the player. This gives additional incentive in finding and keeping followers, since they act as storehouses of knowledge if your character bites the big one and you decide to reincarnate.
