Here's the link for the Wiki, it might help.

What level of difficulty are you on? And what's your build and Companion? It sounds like you hit a snag at a tougher area that you weren't quite ready to beat. There's a lot of other quests and stuff to work on until you get a few more levels.
There's a mid-game hump, so to speak, that players tend to hit in which a player feels too strong for the first areas of the game, but not ready for the late game stuff. Each build and player hits it slightly different, but unless there's a serious issue with the character build, a few levels is all it takes to clear the hump.
One of the more common build errors (not a preference, a true-ish error) is using Light weapons with heavy or exclusive investment in Strength, often done because a player didn't realize there was a difference in damage calculations for Light weapons.
Anyways, if you provide more details about your build and playing style, the forum might be able to give you some pointers that could add up a real difference in the game.
