Soloing on a fresh warrior is pretty easy. I'm currently just under level 29 on my solo Dwarf Warrior run only using gear I find/craft/quest for. Their experience bonus also makes the leveling process a tad easier, a lot less stuff you have to kill.
Honestly as a shorty, it's a pretty easy time. There's a bunch of XP hand in quests, there's a lot of amazing early game armor quests, you can get basically best-in-slot weapons for the vast majority of your character's life (Bull Smasher / Langseax) pretty easily.
As an ogre or a troll I'm not sure what weapons I'd shoot for, but you can raise blacksmithing to craft banded in ~250ish plat which is honestly super easy to acquire if you just focus on big money drops like cracked staves, stackable decent selling items, etc.
If you open yourself up to trading, you can pretty easily amass currency selling bone chips or CB belts and buy a pair of good weapons. Start saving for Crafted armor.
