While I get that the first combat is meant to be a challenge, it's frustrating that (1) every time I try to heal she kills me before I get the chance and (2) that the game won't let me save after the first save in my house. Every time I die I have to go through all the dialogue, buy my items, and then talk to the mage, etc. If the first combat is meant to be so challenging, it would be at least nice if I could save right before it starts.
