If you are a fighter, remember to use your power attacks. This took me a while to get used to. I would just hack away without doing too much damage. But, hold the left mouse button and then release to perform a power attack. This does much more damage, although it costs fatigue - so don't do four of five in a row...you'll get knocked down. Once you have over 50 blade, you can hold the left mouse button and press left or right to do a spinning attack...this has a chance of disarming your opponent.
A good tactic would be to close in, power attack, block, power attack, block. Retreat, heal up. Close in...repeat as necessary. It helps if you have a decent block and blade/blunt skill. Also, don't forget to use your heal spells/potions. Hope this helps.

When leveling up make sure you get the attributes that give you the right bonuses.. Like strength and endurance for melee/heavy armor. I use archery/sneaking so I can't help too much. I carry a dagger and use it for stealthying those pesky rats and mud crabs, but everyone else gets the bow 
I keep getting skill increases on my blade from books though.

The stealthing in this game really needs more love/some mods... If you manage to sneak up behind someone there is no reason why you shouldn't be able to snap their neck or slit their throat ala Riddick or atleast hit them in a weak spot in their armor directly into one of their main squishy organs.
