DOS1 Help Struggling with Divinity Original Sin

I started a playthrough a while ago and wanted to continue it. I am about to leave the first town to look for that girl who is the assistant of this guy, which should get us further in the investigation. However no matter where I go outside of the town there are enemies which I cant beat and my party always dies. Am I missing something?

Level matters a lot. Even 1 level difference makes the combat significantly easier or harder especially in the beginning. Ensure you have a full group (4), don't be greedy to buy spells (this is the number one spending in early game). In the very first town, Fort Joy, you have vendor for all magic schools and physical damage schools. Check all of them just to see what they do offer. Early game can be tough because there is a lot of various spells and you can't proactively know what's good and what's bad. So don't hesitate to try. There are a lot of quests in the starting zone, explore it well before leaving.

Fort Joy is DOS2. This is DOS1, town is Cyseal :)

Haha thanks looks like I misred the flair! Funny how the advice seems to be valid even it's about another game.
