I had the same trouble with those Orc's at 10th level. I re-loaded and came back when I was around level 25, with armor skills in the 60's and at least 160HP. No problem.

I cannot say the same about Vampires... A level 32 Archer type(100 ST, 100 Agil, 87 Speed and @230HP, 100 in Long sword), I was engaged in my new sport of Cliff Racer hunting and I stumbled upon a Dwemer ruin. Figuring it was a typical wealth producing, low threat area, I slip inside to raid. I see a guy in leather, looks like your typical outlaw, let us beat him to death with a Driadic Katana. Sure no problem, @40 hits later, 5 healing potions, some invisbility/retreat spells, I kill him. OK, the next few I got smarter and used chameleon/sneak to critical hit them for 1/2 their health points before engaging in direct combat. This works fine even with one in full Ebony armor, but then I come around the corner and see this one in glass armor. I must have that glass armor since I cannot stand washing this Chitin armor anymore... Chameleon, sneak, hit for 2x damage... WHAAAT! The hit moves the health bar less than a Cliff racer hitting me at level 32. Maybe it was just a bad swing... Whack again, once I catch her because she moves very fast, same effect. Retreat! I go back to my stash and get every nasty destruction and summoning scroll I can find and try again. About two hours real time, I finally have my glass armor.
