Ultimately, the hag is my issue. She's whooped me more times than not. In my mind, she's a save scum boss fight. Not sure of they made it,easier in Patch 4 yet, but last time I fought her I tried sneaking. Nope. Game won't let you. Even though you know she's there, she gets surprise round. When you don't long rest beforehand its really hard.
