Would it be more invigorating, or worse that at the begginning of my story a man dies right off the back by being tortured.... And I tell the story of the man-- the ending, to where I tell about the truthful demise and that the person will actually die, even though hes alive at the end, and i left it kinda unfinished as to what happened to all the side characters (better for a sequel?)
[its a fantasy medieval/sci-fi/ no magic or wizards or elfin or dwarves.... just a extremely dark story about how long a-- ehh kinda super person can go on, before he finally gets the blood beat out of him, good kinda story-line?]

So you would want to start it sort of in media res and work backwards? It sounds interesting.
Yeah, it has been done before, I agree. But if you think of it, a lot of stories out there have been done before. Ideas are recycled and reused and there's nothing wrong with it. Just make it interesting, unique.

Okay, if it's any type of fiction, especially fantasy, chances are everything you or anybody else could think of "has been done before". So don't let people get you worried about that. I think it's an excellent idea.

It's been done -- a lot. I guess if you can approach it from a unique angle it could work. Maybe from the point of a neutral observer -- a pet, a fly on the wall. You get my point.

Sounds like a solid idea.
And of course, as these things often go, it'll be likely to change as you write it.
