I recently made it past Moder deathless, with my eye on Yag and my first ever deathless play through.
Steam inexplicably enabled cloud save and because I use the same name over and over, my deathless character, in fully upgraded padded leather had been replaced with some red headed viking from months ago, that was barely in troll hide. My pristine play through was gone forever. As disappointed as I was, I was eager to start over (from scratch) and give this game another go. Confirmation that I enjoy the progression in this game as much as the completion. Sure I was upset for a bit. But I'm already on day 27 on my new character in lvl 2 troll hide with my eyes on the prize.
The notion that you've quit because of losing "15 plus hours worth of troll gear" that you've grinded for tells me that maybe this game (and games like it) isn't for you.
I suspect you're long gone and you've not managed to read any of these replies but on the off chance you do come back and read some of these comments here are some tips:
1) Never go into the swamp without poison resist potion active. Keeping a poison resist potion up and running will basically negate the leech/blob/oozer threat.
2) Have health potions made and ready
3) Stealth as much as you can (take advantage of your troll hide set bonus).
4) Avoid the swamp (and any biome) at night until you're properly geared.
5) Avoid the draugr spawners (green glowing piles) and destroy them at range if possible.
6) Have your swamp key at the ready, and use an upgraded Stagbreaker when inside sunken crypts to destroy threats that lie beyond the muddy scrap piles. You can clear most rooms without even putting yourself at risk by utilizing the Stagbreaker's AOE.
You can actually use sunken crypts as "panic rooms" to regain health and stamina in a pinch.
7) Travel with 10 wood (for a bench) and materials for a portal. Hop onto your first sunke crypt and drop the bench on top as well as the portal on top of the crypt for quick access to your base for repairs, rested bonus, supplies and quick access in case the worst happens (death).
