So I was weaving for a bit, but he never seems to run out of arrows before enough lucky shots kill me, so I went back to Balmora and really just don't know what to do right now.
Next mission? Aveleg, with a normal bow and arrow, is killing me after like, four shots. Plus I found that the fighters guild, which I only joined to take some time off before doing Caius Cosades first quest, is nearly impossible for me after the egg poacher mission (which I completed through cunning use of ducking in an out of the door right next to them).
Not too bad after I grabbed a sparksword, but at level three I still feel like I'm trying to walk through waist-high mud while swinging a stick that occasionally shoots lightning at people.
