I was just kidding Gawain
I mostly have only 1 save game of my curent hero, but because technology also can fail I make from time to time an extra save game "in case of ... "
It can sometimes be so dangerous in Divnity II ... never forget again next play rounds to spare a few healing potions for greater potentional
Or fully invest in the Summon Ghost, a really happy hero you will have with him!
Just some of my experiences from the past ... I understand it is not fine to start back 10 or more levels lower! Mostly then I simply prefer to start "New Game" rather than restarting with my current hero who kicked him/her-self in a impossible situation of "near death"!
So, sorry for kidding, but I even can't resist !
