Are you serious? Did you really expect that when they said that the combat is difficult it's difficult for your opponents? WTF?
As for healing, there is a freaking HEALER marked on the map, how is it not obvious? And if you go to the inn the innkeeper will ask you if you want him to get the doctor. And shopkeepers have healing salves. In Fallout 1, Arcanum, Betrayal at Krondor and other great RPGs you also had to figure out yourself how to heal yourself. The only difference was that you could rest there but in AoD you have to work and don't have the luxury to sleep whenever you want. And it should be no surprise that you can't heal duirng combat, no opponent would allow you t bandage yourself during the fight and there are no magic stimpacks here (well, there are one or two items that can heal you during fights but they are available later in the game).
If you want to play ironman style you need to know this game and use some basic tactics at least and not just click on the enemy. See here: https://youtu.be/_9oCOPtF8VM
It also should be obvious that a veteran killer would be more deadly in rags and with a dagger than you in armor and with a sword. If someone would give you a sword and an armour and you would be against a skilled cutthroat you would not survive because you would be too slow and too unskilled with a sword.
You have to learn from your mistakes and check the stats that are shown in the upper right corner and act accordingly. If you have problems with some fights just ask on the forum. You can also watch tutorial, like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOhnrzuN8ds
As for your Bruce Lee argument, see here: http://steamcommunity.com/app/230070/discussions/0/490123197946992902/?ctp=12#c358415738207568958
Yes, believe it or not but a skilled cutthroat in rags would make a short work of someone slow in armor and with a sword unless you would be at least close to his ability. But regarding this fight, you can post your save and we will help you, you will see how easy it is for some to win it.
Also, if you want to bring action RPGs to this just as you think that a guy with a dagger should always lose to someone with a sword I say that even an epic hero should always lose to Diablo. But it's a game and certain rules apply. Age of Decadence isn't super realistic but it is the most realistic RPG I know. And it's not unfair because the same rules apply to your opponents and the only advantage you have over them are your wits.
And if you still insist that a guy with a dagger should always lose to a guy with a sword and an armour no matter their skills, that would mean that a dagger build would be impossible. Which would be a huge shame because playing as a freaking cutthroat is one of the most satisfying build in AoD.

Why i'm not suprised.
Oh wait, there is more: positive review of fallout 4 and negative review of Wasteland 2
And some of us want to play crpg that is not limited to walking around and killing things.
You know like in modern beth and bioware games.
Well, for what it's worth you seem to be doing very well for a new player. You simply didn't know that you could visit a healer between fights.
Why? The third guy is described as a soldier. He's simply not wearing armor which doesn't mean he's easy to kill. The fact that he has a dagger doesn't mean he's weak either as daggers aren't inferior to swords as a weapon class.
It IS possible to be a warrior. It's even possible to be a great warrior, you just don't start the game as one.
Combat is hard in this game, it's hard for every new player so what you're experiencing is perfectly normal. Keep playing and you'll get better at it, simple as that.
Here are some player submitted builds:

Do fanboys like you have nothing else to say to critics of the game other than naked ad hominems? Believe me, this reflects poorly on you, not the Skyrim player.
With a Roguelike you can restart the game 100 times and get a very different play each time, in that context play fail, replay fail, replay fail, replay fail, replay fail, replay fail, replay fail, replay fail, replay fail, replay fail, replay fail, ad anuseam, can work.
Not in a game like AoD without real randomization.
I was looking for good advices and just get some bad advices, sigh.
If I choose to be a Loremaster, the game will present me only missions/quests that I will be able to "beat" or the game will show me ALL the quest (I mean, also combat quest that obviously my character can't achieve).
I ask because my nerdish Loremaster didn't finish also the 1st fight in the Arena...
P.S. Sorry for my gramatics, I'm Italian.
