Gothic Remake (19) - First Playthrough, Max Diffiulty, Permadeath - Chapter 4

Status at start of screen: Chapter 2 - getting first focus For this attempt I will try Ring of Magic (+15 mana) and first level of magic (5 LP) from Torrez but go bow otherwise as magic seems OP at the start and then falls off hard. I will NEVER EVER try to join the Swamp Camp again! Starting with highest difficult (including permadeath) - will probably regret it I avoided spoilers and will read no guides, would be nice if chat acted accordingly. Since I read about destroyed and disappearing saves, I am now backing up my saves, but I will still follow permadeath rules. Deaths: 1) Chapter 1: chased and killed by a scavenger in front of the New Camp (guildless, bow) 2) Chapter 1: didn't notice swampshark behind me in the swamp (guildless, bow) 3) Chapter 2: The biters in front of the Orc Graveyard killed me. (bandit, bow) 4) Chapter 1: While walking with Mordrag I looted a corpse and a scavenger attacked me because I was careless. (guildless, magic) 5) Chapter 1: Swampshark in the swamp AGAIN (guildless, magic) 6) Chapter 2: In the orc graveyard I took swampweed to restore mana and did not realize it would make me flop flat to the ground when I try to roll. An orc slowly killed me while I lay on the floor. (shadow, magic) 7) Chapter 2: I was too careless in the Almanac goblin cave. I stood in what I thought was a safe spot and got hit by a rock throw after I let my health go low before. (shadow, magic) 8) Chapter 1: A swampshark near Viran in the swamp chased me. I went up a ladder and then accidentally went on it again. When I tried to climb it up I ran into Viran and got pushed down and the swampshark killed me. (guildless, bow) 9) Chapter 4: When I entered the ohe old shadowbeast's cave (for the final piece of the Ulu-Mulu), it rushed me and killed me in two hits. 10) Chapter 2: I tried to talk to Cohsel while he was sleeping and when he got up and I pressed F I used the bed instead and the hero was locked in a long sleeping animation while Cohsel and his animals attacked him and then the hero was stuck in the corner and got killed.
