So if you should avoid combat, what is the game about exactly?
It's a kind of ultima online except offline where you craft all day long?
I've heard of something like that, let me think... Yes! That's called work!
More seriously, i would play it i life as an adventurer is still possible even if it's hard, i'm not going to play your e-farm 2.0.
Also, about your "legacy system", do the child gets some bonuses?
It would be nice if you could get better bonuses after a couple of generations to make it viable to explore the world and annihilate life, a kind of real life simulation experience. ;-)
I know, one track mind...
