1)these 2 poachers from the egg mine constantly kill me. I do not kill even one of them.

human opponents are alot stronger than rats and cliff racers. go and fight a bunch of mudcrabs, scribs, rats, and such. keep fighting. if your endurance is low, then you won't gain many hit points, so work on raising that (although if you get any multipliers, raise those skills first). you are level one, so you shouldnt be able to kill many of the human opponents.

3)Is there any special way of fighting, instead of "use the best attack"?

yes, if you turn off your option to use best attack then moving sideways will slash, moving straight forward will stab, and standing still will chop. this makes the game immensely more difficult as you have to move properly for each weapon you have, and it severely limits your freedom to move around and dodge while still making a strong attack.

4)i was almost killed by 2 cave rats. any decent armour nearby (i am in Balamata or whatever this town is called) ?

first off, if you're still level one, restart the game and make a new character. medium armour is almost worthless... not to mention you only need any skill in one armor type. for good armor, take a walk to the ghost gate (go out balmora towards fort moonmoth, go right and past the fort into the foyada and turn left to go up the lava river. keep going and fighting and you will arrive. steal as much glass armor as possible with your sneak skill).

ultimately though, one of those skills is going to be a wasted talent. i restarted five times before i got a character i liked, once when i had already reached level five. theres no shame in starting over, and it sucks to play with a character who has a debilitating flaw like a wasted talent. not to mention you can train any of the skills you want later in the game.

finally, not to mention having tribunal installed, what race and gender are you, as these make a major difference in your skill abilities and attributes.
