Difficulty setting not remembered for new characters

I'm not sure whether this was intentional, but it feels like a bug to me.

When you die and choose the option the restart with a new character, it pulls the last character's name and permadeath setting into the character creation screen; however, it doesn't pull in your previous difficulty setting. It would be better if it defaulted the difficulty to the last used value as well.

I think it would be nice if last-used difficulty and permadeath were remembered when starting a character from the main menu as well, like it does for character gender.

I'm seeing this in v1.2.5, but it's been this way as long as I can remember.

Yeah, I'm not sure this is a bug exactly but it should definitely be changed so that difficulty setting is also remembered.
