Its a great game, but your character is really quite bad at fighting in the beginning. I would recommend to train extensively with the swordmasters to get the hang of it. Not just in terms of the controls, parrys and ripostes - but also cause your characters (not just personal) skill level has a heavy influence how well & fluent your combat maneuvers work.
Also, if you have problems with the save system, there are mods that unlock "save everywhere" (e.g. on the nexus)
