I haven't tested this, but I think if you are playing in story mode on the
easiest level, it is very difficult to die while playing.

These email conversations urged me to pick my story mode game back up and see
where it goes.  Honestly, I hadn't really played since sometime in January. 
I've just finished the last bit the preacher gave me for the town hall and am
working on the next bit of travel out of the area.

I've picked up an old game, Might and Magic VI, and have been tinkering with
that off and on.  Weird I have 'fond' memories of this one but first thing I
find is a lot of grinding to get characters at a decent enough level to do
anything.

Other than that, I frequent Sniper Elite 4.  There's an aspect of role playing
and discover when playing in the campaign mode, typically play campaign solo.

I am on the Hinterland mailing list, no news that I've seen regarding the next
level yet...

Stay safe and be well.
