Okay I'm level 16 now. The following is a potential spoiler so do not read unless you have at least started the main quest a bit. I am playing on the Xbox 360 also.
I AGONIZINGLY crawled through the rescue Kvatch quest (the part after the gate closes/Martin leaves). The creatures were so rediculously overpowered it was crazy. The three guards sent to help me were crushed after the first "battle." Then I had to creatively find ways to exploit the rest of my way through (fighting around walls to not get hit). A single monster was able to take 25% of my health away in a single hit while it took me 200+ hits to kill the monster. I should also add that the monster started in groups of five or more. So I basically found small exploits to finally beat the quest.
Flash forward to another quest. I was having the same problem with a vampire (don't worry I cured it) so I set the difficulty to lowest just to see the difference (and make it playable). Well killing a once unkillable monster in two weak swings was rediculously underpowered. I found a good two handed sword in the dungeon and then set the difficulty back to where it was (dead center). Now this sword does about five more damage than my previous sword (it's also a lot slower). However, I am still able to actually win arena battles and beat other dungeons. It is almost as if the difficulty is perfect now. I wonder if there is some glitch that set it to max difficulty at the beginning even though it read as middle. I know my sword does more damage, but we are talking fifty times more damage in each swing (fights take me 20 seconds or less). I am also wondering if it was the Blades armor and sword (which I used before because I found Ebony armor along with the sword). Perhaps this set of armor/sword is bugged into not actually giving any armor because the difference is just too great. Anyone else have a similar problem?
