Gaming

I have two mod homes, a secret windmill that I never use and is quite difficult to get around in especially with followers, but it does look lovely from the outside.
The other one is Riverside Lodge which is rather nice and useful too. I do all of my crafting stuff there.
There are other homes that have some more building and farming options to them so they might suit you better.

My main follower Arissa is a mod too and... she can't die!
Lots of people seem to like Inigo too. But it is hard to find mod followers that aren't weird anime things.

Also if you're starting to think about mods you'll have to look into getting the Unofficial Patch and the Script Extender as a lot of mods require this.

..and I've just remembered that the one downside of Riverside Lodge is that it's a location where dragons sometimes spawn. I've had more than one awkward fight on that bridge over the waterfall.

...and (again) I'd also double check that any mods are compatible with the GoG version of the game.

Edit: There seems to be a page on this at  NexusMods.

Mmmm, Mammoth Cheese. Goes wonderfully with Giant's Toe.

Speaking of food, have you cooked any vegetable soup yet?
It's unironically great for your stamina in difficult fights.
