Also only died twice to dumb stuff, but both were a result of the campfire. Basically when I first started, accidentally burned to death - second time, didn't know about the ventilation thing and smoke got me (I didn't know what it was until I saw the death message).

Haven't died since, and never to an enemy so far. Only just beat Elder and my I think third night after that I had swamp creatures attacking my Dark Forest base, and ALMOST got killed by a Draugr with a bow (he had 3 buddies with axes and a bunch of skeletons). Elder was a long battle that I almost had to run from due to my weapon durability (I went through a full bow and nearly a full Bronze Spear) mostly because it went into the night and TWO Shaman (with some Dwarves and Brutes) came in and started healing him - but the Swamp night...THAT was probably the hardest fight I've had so far, just keeping my stamina managed while keeping my distance from creatures capable of doing 40-60 damage through my upgraded troll armor, yeah. It was a rough time, but still alive!

Haven't seen Odin hanging around yet but that's pretty cool. I thought the Crow giving you advice was basically supposed to represent Odin, didn't know he eventually stalks you in a cloak just to spy on you.
