Yes there is. Short:
- Always have light with you [off hand torch or an enchanted shield with glow.]
- Avoid certain enemy witch will always 'succeed' against you. [not calling them because they are late game spoilers].
- Keep control of what you answer to NPC s [be antipathetic or mean to avoid 'you know what'].
- Manage your hunger and keep the way point to avoid surprises.
- Be strongest to ever be [grinding the first level in the Coliseum of the second village will do the trick].
- Don't use a lewd strategy [Although in my play through as a celibate I never had a a lustful action modify my lust data it;s best to avoid it].
