Unfortunately, dying *is* the indicator. Especially if it was a one-shot. That's the games way of telling you you are moving into a dangerous new zone.

That's just how it is with survival games. I get your frustration, though. Dying should never be an expectation, in my opinion.

i agree , but its not my point. yes i wasnt ready for that encounter but i had maxxed out the armour and weapons and food available and was murdered in one hit by going to the correct next step.. this in itself i dont have a problem with (i think the curve should be less step and the draugr run me out by it being clearly too tough for me to handle rather than just one shotting me)

but my point is - how do i as the player know why im not ready based on the information the game has given me, i know several things from playing before reading forums and watching videos. but if i was just a normal player sat there and that happened how would you know what to do to fix it?
