I HATE trolls :Angry: as an archer, I barely have time fire but like 2 arrows by the time the reach me. This forces me to fight them with my little dagger and usually get pwnt. At least if there's water nearby I can run on it and stay away

If you ever play the game with the Difficulty slider thrown all the way up, those first two rats may very well be the greatest challenge in the game. Not from any formidable force from the critters themselves, but considering how patently helpless you character is at that point, they've got the upper hand.
...I don't know, they've all been quite easy, though I'd have to say mannimarco was slightly harder than everything else.
He's an Altmer. You're the Arch-Mage of the Guild, who should have some passable adeptitude at elemental destruction. He has no armor, no resistances, a crummy dagger and a limited reportoire of spells. I've seen him die before the first dose of a double-damage Silence poison could run its course.
Baurus: Our job is to get the Emperor out of situations like this. Though I'll admit, things aren't going exactly to plan.

Casandra: At the moment, the deadliest weapon at my disposal is a goblin's head on a stick. I'd be worried if this was the plan.

Goblins. I HATE Goblins. They scream at you, then stagger you non-stop while screaming, then scream when they die and leave you nothing good!

i believe the first one i had problems with was
Murander/Bandits, i hit this one about 4 times and he just wouldn't go down,
thats when i found out about the diffacultly slider, it was at about 65%, slide it down to around 20%, it got alittle easier, hell alot easier,
have it back up to around 30-35% now, the more i go up,
the more i move it also, try and keep it about the same.

I always keep mine on 50%-75%. Since Reflect Damage makes you a god, I wanted spellcasters to be at least a little challenge. :)

For my level, I would say Liches are the toughest. They're the only enemy that I don't want to encounter for fear of death.

Earlier in the game though, Wraiths, especially quest-specific ones, and Will-o-wisps were very, very hard. Wraiths also freak me out - the heavy breathing noises they make + late at night in an Ayleid Ruin = creepy.

At lower levels for non-magic users I'd say Will-o-the-Wisps are a real pain in the *ss, and moutain lions is a deadly menace to all lower level characters IMO. And if you stumble into a Headless zombie around when they first appear and have no fire magicka (enchanted items, spells or poisons) available their health regeneration can easily exceed your ability to dish out damage leading to a veeeery drawnout fight for sure. :D

On-topic: I despise Goblins. They're so ugly and retarded and run away to heal. :Angry:

It's a spoiler ;)
Spoiler:
Yourself. In the SI, at some point you'll face yourself. Well, it's more like a black copy of yourself, but he/she has the same stats and he/she uses them fully.
And your enemy also has a quite strong sword so if you don't prepare yourself for the battle (which means: unequipping as many item as you can in one of your houses) good enough, it'll be a trip through hell, especially when playing on a high difficulty setting.

A question: Last night I was in the Arena, letting Minotaur Lords pound my armor so I can level up my Armorer. Minotaur Lords usually keep me in stagger lock non-stop which this time, oddly, wasn't the case. I have noticed that as long as your weapon/shield is sheathed, enemies cannot stagger you. Is this true?

the most annoying are goblins, they take so long to put down and come in a lot of numbers. The health rengenerators like high trolls and dread zombies are a pain, I've worn my fatgiue on low levels out on those SOB's.
