I made a sword and shield character and leveled to about 7 with 2 perks in one hand,2 in block (using the unpatched version so my block is maxed by taking deflect arrows) 1 in heavy armor. I made a complete set of steel armor and was using a 9 or 10 damage sword that took 5 points of health and stamina with frost that I got from the dragon stone early main quest. I was able to defeat bandits pretty easily but when I fought that Bandit Chief in the fort in Joining the Legion quest I was essentially a weak fighter. Blocking works but only so well because health is diminished with each blow and my counter blows just could not keep up. To boot, stamina is used up so quickly it makes multiple moves impossible. Are certain enemies going to make you feel weak regardless? And I ask this knowing that potions and magic can be used but don't wan't to use them.
Additionally, has anyone found that getting in blows without getting hit is kind of hard? Like it's hard to get off a clean blow without being countered? Seems like enemies get off blows easier than I can.
Thanks,
