The only thing that makes the game seem difficult is players not knowing about all the things they can utilize at the very start, when playing for the first time. As you learn the game and its options things will become much easier, at least as the regular fights go.
While you are in the city there is a small underground map that gets you some xp and some nice equipment, either to use or to sell. Looting several different places where the most important characters in the murder quest are living will enable you to buy or find even more.
With that, and level 3 or 4 you should be able to clear the western area of the undead.
One small but very important thing is just to remember to use different potions and food items which all give you various resistances.
Then, with some proper tactics and abuse of the environment you will reach levels 5 - 6 with which you can clean the Black Cove or the northern part with zombie boars.
And so on...
errmm, whats written in the post directly above mine, by ExiledTyrant is completely wrong.
- The amount of AP is decided by investing in proper attributes. If the player doesnt then its his own fault and he should figure out how to use such builds differently.
- You dont need to learn water magic to have the Rain spell because you can just buy and find rain spell scrolls.
- Resistances are buffed by potions and food. If one simply refuses to use them or cant figure out such a basic thing - its his own fault. Additionally some schools of magic have spells that raise resistances. Plus those given by equipment. Either way its not a problem.
