You get to make the choices in hundreds of situations throughout your new lifetime, and discover how yourself and events might have turned out had you made those other choices, from experimentation (or lack thereof) with alcohol and drugs to cheating on your wife with prostitutes. It's your life - you get to choose how you deal with it.
You're responsible for the life and death of others - can you give that old lady a reason to live, or save one of your many "close friends" from jumping off a building? Or will you get hemorrhoids from a stripper and later hook up with a Penthouse pornstar (like Kiwi did)? That's assuming you don't die from drink too much of that cleaning fluid when you're a toddler, of course.
FYI, in my first game, I got kidnapped, tortured and killed by a child-killer (good start). In my second game, I died of a heart attack in my late 60s, playing senior baseball, having acquired over $800,000; but I'd never married or had children (career man ; will remedy that next time ).
