dessoul: And you are not supposed to fight the technic league at the first meeting. just give them a companion and get him/her back later. Then they are easy.
I never had any werewulfes at the beginning. There are only two areas, where you find werthings: the werrathill and one hill westward of it. The werrats were the hardest enemies in the whole region. And every region has such enemies. But you are not supposed to beat them so early. They are challenges, you can do, whenever you feel for it. And seriously? i felt better, when i fought, and won, because they were such an challenge. But i did them, when i knew, it was the right time. The times before i always lost, because i was not ready for it.
I am playing on normal and i never had werewulfes at the beginning. And i started two times and both times i did all at least the troll quest. So either, you play with an not-upgraded pack or you must have chosen some really hard difficulty.
You can find really hard enemies more westward, in the region of the nymph. There you have enemies, which you are supposed to fight at level 10 or so. Because this is an area, which you are supposed to do waaaay later.
I did not give them a companion, but also do not play "unfair" difficulty. On Normal or lower difficulty you can really just roleplay the character, there are a few enemies with Alchemistenfeuer who burn you to death or some with very strong bows, but everything can be beaten.
It took me ~45min to do the fight against the Hirschkoenig, hit and run, one enemy after the other. Once he was left alone, it was easy.
I will probably have to buy some fire protection from Bekkon to beat those fire throwing wolves in one cave. Everyone in 25m radius gets a 120 damage buffer against fire. They are expensive, though.
