Dungeons/quests not leveled appropriately?

[Fish11]

First, DF Unity is amazing. I just discovered it. Thank you all.

Second, I'm dying too frequently and am unsure if there is a scaling issue with the NPCs/dungeons, or what's going on.

I played the original game extensively so I am familiar with the game mechanics. However, I died more than a dozen times just making it out of Privateer's Hold. The imp in the first room one-shot me multiple times with strength at 60 and Will at 55. The first random work quest I was given as a level 2 was to earn the Chrysamere in a dungeon filled with Daedra. The dungeon for the first quest from the mages guild (again with a level 2 character) was filled with werewolves that killed me in two hits.

I don't remember the game being this hard. I did increase the difficulty bar *slightly* during character creation (maybe up to 12 points per level instead of the usual 9 or 10) but I always did that when playing previously. I don't think my stats or skills are inappropriate. Is there a chance this is a bug?

Welcome to the forums

Though uncommon, your experience is not too unusual. Werewolves can appear from the earliest levels. The Chrysamere quest only requires 1 reputation with Merchants to receive it. The imp is using spells with the same power as in classic. I'd say keep going. Not all your experiences are going to be like that.

Thanks for your reply. I appreciate the guidance. I cannot say enough good things about this game and the community here that's supporting it. If I had even a modicum of relevant skills I would offer to help; unfortunately that's not the case. Thanks to all for your efforts.
