Is there a 'Warning' before quest?

What i mean is...I finally had a good run going after hours of dying over and over....and accepted some cultist quest. I was kicking ass and taking names the levels before...then, suddenly, it was like...WTF?! I like this game...but I would enjoy having a bit more info to better manage risk.

Hahaha! Yeah I did the same thing yesterday. I opened the door and saw all the dudes and panicked a little, backed up, killed the first one in 1 blow.... only to have a Thrasher Maw come out of him and insta kill me lol.

They do "warn" you though. You didn't have to accept it and you knew it was potentially deadly since you couldn't resurface until you beat it. At least you know what to expect for the next time.

Fair enough. Damn...I don't know if I love or hate this game. I think my issue with it is that it doesn't do 'right' what FTL does. When I die end game of FTL....I can trace back the reason it happened to bad decisions sectors prior. In this game...it just feels like I wasn't lucky enough to get the right gear. Oh. And btw...to new players...the gain of bashin grave stones (so far as I can tell) is NOT worth the risk.....unless it is early and you don't mind starting over.

Yeah that was my best run too. There is no warning because it extends the replay value. If this game had saves then it would be very easy and extremely short. Now I know to kill one cultist at a time. Then focus (ranged if possible) attacks on the maw that spawns. I spamed multishot and wound up dealing with 5 rock throwing maws at once! That didn't end well.

OP I am far from a "pro" at this game (really ive put in over 50 hours and still have nothing of note to show for it) but one game I got cocky (not my fault I was equipped well past the point of enemies being a risk)

needless to say i killed like 3 of them and died

(then again in this game it seems to me that if your doing to good the game decides the enemies are all going to crit every hit from now on)
