Also, this is not a review thing, but I know players will read this thread:
Many PCs have their fear of death backwards. They OOG fear losing their characters forever, but IG seem to keep track of the 'deaths' mechanic and brush off the prospect of dying their first or second time.
You should be afraid of death, IG. When someone tells you that not doing something will probably result in your death, you might not prioritize your breakfast or your sleep over you death, even if it'll be your first death. I've never met anyone so jaded that they'd rather have pancakes and die than not have pancakes and live in real life. Would you make that decision?
You should not be afraid of death, OOG. You are a strand in the fabric of the story, and every strand will eventually reach its end. Your deaths will add narrative, complexity, and beautiful moments to the game. Most of us will have our characters die with some ambition unfulfilled. Its just how it goes. Frontier living in wartime is hard, but the threat of final death should not take away from the opportunity to experience as much as you can.
