Your character isn't weak Yoga, Fallout2 is difficult
It's normal that Paco face difficulties in combat. When combat skills are low the chance to hit is low too, it's normal to miss most of the time when fighting ants in the Temple of Trials. He is still a low level character with lousy equipment, he has to gain levels and raise skills to get stronger.
You didn't create a weak character. You left all stats average and used the 5 bonus points to raise the important ones. You have enough action points to attack enemies standing close to you twice per round with a spear or other fast weapons.
How can you expect an inexperienced tribesman to defeat a gang of armed gangsters all by himself ? Even a character with 10 in all attributes wouldn't stand a chance that early in the game.
Sometimes it's necessary to accept that you aren't the most powerful person in the world, able to kill everything standing in your way with a single blow.
In Fallout2 you can gain lots of XP and solve many quests without violence, you can run away when you're ambushed and when you absolutely want to kill someone you can return when you're more experienced and better equipped.
