I was being cheeky. I'm not challenging your character.

I've played this game enough to know that you can run away from just about anything anywhere in any armor, and draugr only move fast if you get near them. Even then they only do it in spurts between their dance moves.

Archers are more of a threat, and elite in the crypts where (like I said), it's tight quarters.

Yes, but we're talking to a new player here. It can take time to build that confidence and know where / when you can pull this off, especially as they're mastering stamina management. The 'wet' debuff and 'cold' debuff can be a rude awakening to someone just starting out.

To say things in the swamp don't move fast isn't exactly accurate. Relative to how quickly you can get through the swamp if you take a bad line and get bogged down (a reasonably common scenario for those new to the swamp), they do move pretty fast.
