I'm struggling with this too, about 1/3 of the way through the main quest. They tutorialize you on feints and defensive mechanics, but you can't really punish aggression like you can in a fighting game, and the NPC never falls for my feints, basically ever. Getting through a melee fight feels like luck. The last one I got through was because I managed to impale him with three arrows before the sword fight actually started.
