Okay, so I started off this game, Woohoo, Great, I got to the part where you go to the rat place looking for Esbern or something and I suddenly realized, I can't do the main quest anymore, because I'm too bad. So I stopped right there and went somewhere else and did all this stuff, got a bunch of quests, etc. I tried to do the first task available to me in the companions guild, same thing. So I did that one on novice, which was still ridiculously hard for me. I need to know, is there anything I can do to occupy my time like, can I become a merchant or what? I don't know where to go because I get literally [censored] by everything. They take their swords and screw me. I can't kill a frost troll. I'm level 10 too... Is this wrong? Am I just svcking? Should I be able to kill a frost troll or a bear? Gimme a hand here, I'm stuck. And I refuse to play on novice all the time, only when I absolutely need to. Help.

Bears are bad-ass. They eat my face at level 10 as well. Just avoid them or practice your archery until you become stronger.
