Oblivion problems

i just recently got oblivion and i was loving it. i havent played rainbow six or any of my other favorites since ive gotten it. however now its pissing me off and i need some help. i made a warrior orc and was having a ton of fun and i was sort of taking my time leveling up in hopes of getting more points for each time that i leveld up. i had reached level 6 and was fed up with waiting so i just leveled up as many times as i could which put me at level 12. i was even able to get + 2-3 points with each of the levels. but now im level 14 and the game is seemingly impossible. my health goes down and i cant get it back up because i run out of healing potions which barely do anything anyway. and the restoration spell is a joke (i know restoration is not a main attribute of mine but seriously..). Now if i am faced with more than one enemy at a time it is nearly impossible and to close my second total oblivion gate i had to run thru it avoiding everyone and i still BARELY made it out with probably less than 1% health.

anyway i just want to know if im messing up or if the warrior class just isnt good because my friend has a lvl 20+ mage and does fine. id like to avoid restarting my character but if i have to its not that big of a deal. i will post more info on my character such as stats if anyone can acutally help.

thanks alot

alright first you need a stronger restoration spell wich may need to be made... and if the games so hard turn the difficulty down... theres a slider that does so... if you turn it all the way down i think the games more fun... it doesnt take ahundred hits to kill someone... unless that sumones you... basically when u turn the diffculty down your enemies are weaker both damage and health wise
