Well, you'll definitely still die, so much so in mistlands that my skills are gimped as hell lol. It's way too "hardcore" in that regard still, skill ups are slow af but every "mistake" bites a huge chunk out.

Imagine there's a mod for that, might have to start looking, the devs should really add some QoL toggles or sliders like Conan/Ark... Let people customize the experience a bit, rather than have to console scum
