Imagine how bad a game D&D would be if skill checks were realistic for the first 5 levels

and 1 every 20 swings you’d fail so miserably at it that you’d injure yourself.

Morrowind's accuracy system when starting the game, especially if you built your character wrong (or just are using something you're not built for). Misses don't add to skill either, so you will continue missing for a long while.

Though you don't injure yourself, instead you die because you can't even fight a worm (because you miss more than you hit).
