I have had a lot of battles that went well, and i have had many encounters that I had to try a few times, or just avoided because I knew I would be toast and I didn't want to spend 20 minutes dying. However I made ti to the goblin camp and I think I am way underleveled because I have been talking my way out of a lot of fights so my gear is kind of eh and I lack experience etc. I have tried the hobgoblin in particular about seven different times and it isn't pretty. I agree with you, the enemies seem overpowered. At the very least, they miss a lot less than i do and seem to be able to move a lot farther than I can in one turn. The amount my party is missing is really just crippling. I'm not sure how you can miss Cleave, for example, when you are standing literally right next to the enemy. I share your frustration, OP, and I agree What I would like to see is being allowed two actions instead of one.
