Was hype for this game but then I instantly died in our first combat so now I'm less so.

.. how did that happen? The worst weapons inflict d8 stress, which cannot reach the 9 required for Severe Fallout where death is an option?

I suppose there is Knocked Out as a moderate fallout which could be problematic with an enemy prepared to kill you. “Ok he knocked you out, then he slits your throat and you die, you can’t resist and you can’t decide to give something up instead because you are unconscious”.

i think in that situation the person who knocked you out doesn't kill you for whatever reason. maybe you get captured or robbed blind or whatever, but killing your character would not fit with a moderate fallout

I agree, but if I was GMing I'd have a hell of a time explaining why, because of a low Stress roll, a character's mortal enemy would not decide to kill them given a golden opportunity with them unconscious in front of them. Maybe CountZero's GM had the same issue?
