Invincible mobs in starter quests?

One would expect mobs in the same countries are more or less of the same level, increasing slowly with each new country.

So: is the game not linear in advancement? Do we frequently get quests which we cannot complete before we grow much stronger?

The horsemen, the archmage's tower, the deserted castle and the undead castle in the marshan swamp are pretty tough early on.

I beat the horsemen at lvl 10 on impossible and only got access to 8 horsemen which was not worth using. I tried sacrifise but with a paladin and not wanting to put too many points into chaos it it was too slow and not a fun way to play so I loaded without chaos magic.

Anyway to answer your Q.. often there are enemies you cant beat as soon as you see them
