After spending hours trying to find an answer, with no luck, I decided to come here an bother you guys again, in the hopes that someone might have an answer.

I'm working on a "death" penalty option for my mod. So far I have it working as a script that kicks in when your health gets really low. And that part works well.

The problem is that anything that damages a large chunk of HPs will instantly kill you, and then the game will reload your last save. I've countered that to a small extent with progressive saves, but it is still not what I was hoping for.

So here are my questions:
1.) Is there any way to track how many times the PC dies? If so, could that information be used in a script as a condition?
2.) If #1 isn't possible, is there a way to extract the name of the loaded save, after loading that saved game (after your death has automatically caused your last save to reload)?

Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions with this.
