I have been following a few optional faction quests. and i have been following the quests for House Hlaalu. I am only level 4 and i am finding that i am unable to complete the egg mine quest. I have been accepting a few quests and getting cloe to completing them only to realize i am not strong enough to kill the person. Is there any way to know ahead of time if i am unable to complete the quest? im a adventurer stealth class and i realize that they are somewhat weak. Maybe i should just follow the main story for awhile? Im sure that they wont be to advanced for my level?

There's no real way (that I know of at least). I usually just give it a shot, and if I fail and don't think I can make it if I retry, I go off and get some other job, then come back later when my abilities have improved.

Of course, your chances of success depend very much on your play style, experience with the game, character concept, willingness to reload and willingness to use up your best potions and scrolls...

Combat wise, missions into daedric ruins are usually pretty tough. Sixth House bases aren't the easiest either, as are dwemer ruins, but usually less so. "Kill rogue guildmember/bandits" missions are usually not that hard, and neither are ancestral tomb raiding missions (provided you have a weapon that can hurt ghosts). And then there's a lot of missions you can get through with talking or stealing instead of combat. Those mostly depend on your character concept.

I recommend going out into the wild (and not necessarily sticking to the path) and just killing lots of animals. Yeah, it sounds mean but it can really boost you up and get you better with whatever kind of weapon you're using so you can defeat tougher baddies later. Also, all the caves and ancestral tombs are relatively easy to complete after level 4, so those can really help too. And there's a ton of them!!!

Beware of skeleton archers if you're about 4-6 level, though. If you aren't some fighterish type with lot of HP, one-two shots from them is usually quite enough.

Eh, yeah, those annoy me slightly whenever I run into them.

Like the others said, go out and gain some experience, then return to the egg mine.

If you don't mind me asking... what seems to be the problem in that mine ? Why can't you deal with your opponent ? And what's your current equipment ?

Yeah, maybe your weaponry/armor is just not very good or in poor condition. I recommend checking the value and condition of your fighting gear and then going to a smith if it's bad... unless you have tools to fix them.
