Ok whats the deal with these people at the temple at the canal underworks in the Foreign Quarter in Vivec? I go in there and immediatley these 2 people start fighting me. The first guy is pretty easy to handle but the next guy kills me every time with about 3 swings. I have an armor rating of 27 is that not that good or is this guy unbeatable. Also there is someone in the background shooting arrows at me at the same time. Is this place important to the outcome of the game or is there just some bad ass weapons to get in there?

The guys in the temple are already aggro to everyone. I would suggest leveling a bit before looting it. Once you grab the diamond a Dremora Lord pops up and hits you with firestorm. I recommend you get a dwemer jinksword or some other paralyzing weapon. I believe there are 4 people inside, and then the dremora. I can't remember though. Either way, fight near the door, and have plenty of potions. that way you can leave once you are hurt badly. The dremora lord will kick your butt pretty bad if you can't kill these folks, so I wouldn't try it. Good luck

What level are you?
I'd stay out of that place until you're more experienced but on the other hand i presume you managed to take that ork out outside the shrine which is quite good for a low level character.
The best way to take on guys at a low level is get a paralyse scroll/spell/weapon and hope for the best. As suggested a jink sword (enchanted paralyse sword) would help and it can be purchased from the fighter's guild in Balmora (it won't be a dwemer one though but it won't matter to much). Hit the enemy with the jinksword and then swap to your main weapon.
If you fancy purchasing a very good paralyse scroll I'm sure you can pick one up from the battlemage at fort monmoth but I can't remember for sure. I do remember that the scrolls paralysed for 60 seconds though and are quite expensive...

I am a warrior at level 7. This is my first game and I am basically wondering if this was the right character to choose. It just takes so long to walk everywhere and the boots of blinding speed make me blind so i have to constantly keep looking at my map. I was just wondering if I am trying to take on too much too fast, because i only have like 5000 in gold and I haven't gotten a really awesome weapon. I have a silver longsword but my long blade skill is up to 89. What kind of weapon should i try to get and where would i get it?

I wouldn't go full on after that group of people at level seven. Though your lblade skill is really good. You just don't have the health needed. At level 7, keep your silver longsword and get yourself a jinksword from the fighters guild in bolmara. its pretty cheap. Use the jinksword until your oppenent doesn't move, then hack away (with your silver longsword) rinse/repeat as needed. I would pick up some decent heavy armor if you plan on attacking magic users in the future. Also boost your willpower if you can, that will help.
The only drawback to my warrior was no ranged weapon. I regretted it so much that I stopped at level 6 and made a 1/2 sblade and 1/2 marksman thief. Works out real good so far. level25 and not looking back. Still have SO much to do.
Either way, if you want to beat the game fast, or be UBERstrong later, you have to make a decision. Get some sort of ranged weapon or get real good armor rating.
Good luck man.

Ok after a rather "intense" battle I finally beat the people in there. There ended up only being 3 people and no Dremora lord ever attacked me (maybe I missed something). Well turns out one the guys had a belt of sanguin hewing (sp) which helped with long swords, and two other belts like this involving marksman abilities and axe abilities.
He also had a set of medium armor (can't remember what type) and another belt that increased medium armor. But the best thing he had was a Daedric Longsword. Very nice as my longsword skill is at 100.
What I am wondering is should I enchant this item? If so what type of enchanting does anyone recommend? I have been looting some place for a while now and I have around 15K in money plus some orcish axes which i need to sell so I should be up to about 20-25K after i get through selling my goodies. So just curious how much I should spend on enchanting something.
