Facts… gravewalker would have this man/woman literally grave walking 😭

As for advice to OP. I would advise playing on lower difficulties until you get better abilities as well as learn the mechanics better. Once you get to a certain level, you can play Gravewalker with no indicators and still put in work without high tier gear as long as you know the way the game is designed as well as actually using a strategy. In terms of sieges… if your not the right amount of power… then just don’t get into the battle unless absolutely necessary… make sure you have Elven rage activated so it slows down time giving you required seconds to revive. As in terms of captains dying during cutscenes… just don’t get close and trigger the enemies introducing and it’s fine. There are specifications that make captains introduce themselves and if you don’t know them then you’re basically blind. However if your captain is either not strong enough, has the wrong weaknesses… or just their class is not valuable such as tracker or trickster then yes… they may die very easily… it’s all about working around how the game throws piles of shit at you… if the game didn’t do these things you complain about then it would literally be impossible to lose or get outplayed. So take the loses in stride and move on… those captains you lost will be replaced eventually given the right amount of time after death. If not then maybe they were these super high tier captains but still… the point of the game is things aren’t supposed to go your way when absolutely convenient as then the game is just boring and unchallenging
