I keep a base save near the beginning of the game. After the initial drudgery.
So far I make it to level 8 or 9 on expert level. I like to clean out the area near whiterun and then return to start the dragon battle. I died by a surprise vampire attack where their drain slowed me to a crawl. I also died when I got myself boxed in by hell hounds in a different surprise attack.
If I am going to take a potion, I can't doing while being attacked, I've to to move away just enough (more realistic I suppose).
It's like, if I reload the save, I'm expecting the attack and my actions change. So I will reload right before the attack. Try a few things to get out of the situation as a post mortem skill build. Then revert back to the base save.
My next base save will be after I defeat the whiterun dragon.
