Enemies you're most afraid of?

Post » Fri May 11, 2012 3:09 am

So.. which enemy or enemies do you absolutely avoid or don't want to encounter while out and about in Skyrim? I haven't encountered all enemies in the game yet so I haven't decided(so far I really hate trolls).

Powerful wizards, spiders, and 2h weapon using bandit chiefs.

Trolls dont scare me because I can just run away from them.

I often think I can take on a some large spiders at once, a group of mages and a bandit chief with their massive damage 2 handers only to get killed.

I don't find trolls that hard but the places they live in are scary looking!

I fear giants pretty badly, looking up at something that can kill you in one hit...it's so scary

Frost Wizards.. they absolutely tear me apart because their damn Ice Shards make my character too slow to be able to whack them with my axe. :E

Those little annoying shielded creatures down in grottos and stuff, quite far underground. They're pretty hard to kill.

Pyromancers. Any wizard really.

More than dragons, frost trolls, bears, etc. I can't believe some people are claiming magic is nerfed in Skyrim, because wizards will $*&# you up. FAST. A double casting pyromancer can ONE-SHOT my level 31 character. :bonk:

Things that can actually dent my dragon armor. Giants and Mammoths in packs can be hard to take down, so tactics are needed to take'em down. Now that I am a fairly high level, Dragons can also get the best of me if I am not careful. Undead and Wizards can also be messy.

Giants, im 2handed axe nord. I dont like Magic except for shouts. My nord likes bows because fighting giants head on is suicide. But yeah giants are scary as hell.

and 2h weapon using bandit chiefs.

I just spent almost 2 hours trying to kill the chief in Fort Dunstead, so I feel your pain.

All of them. My mage on Master difficulty is pretty much one shot by everything more powerful than a generic bandit or wolf, or faster than a troll. The saber tooth cats just tear me to pieces if I'm alone.

I just need...more...spells...

Nothing, my warrior has full dragon plate armor.

My mage however, pretty much everything. Unexpected dragons, giants, mammoths, frost trolls, bandits with 2handers, mages, and unexpected sabercats and bears.

Funny thing though, my mage is a higher level with some pretty decent stats.

giant frost spiders are really strong and hard to dodge..my warrior can dodge and attack giants or trolls pretty well.

hardest enemies are when two or more high level humanoids with both melee and two handers come charging at me. especially hard when they use frost magic draining my stamina

Named Dragon Priests. Although eventually ripping their faces off is more than satisfying.

I try not to bother mammoths and giants. I like them. They're just so damn majestic.
I used to fear Frost Trolls, but now my big problem is fire dragons.
I am a vampire and I was trying to go talk to the graybeards.
Almost got there and a fire dragon landed and annihilated me.

Mudcrabs... They just appear out of nowhere and force me into combat. If you don't want me getting close atleast make yourself known...

I actually like wolves now cause once I came across 3 mudcrabs while trying to swim somewhere and one managed to claw me then suddenly a wold appeared and killed all 3 of them. I felt rather sad when I had to kill the wolf but he atleast saved me from swinging my sword 3 more times.

Bandit bosses with 2H weapons. Annoying as hell.

The Giant Frostbite Spider, the dragon priests, and some of the boss-level undead have also been pretty challenging. But it's still the bandits with big mallets that are the worst for me... you tend to fight them indoors, where there's not much room to dance around and kite. They run very fast and can fit through any opening you can.

YMMV depending on play style and armor.

Mages... FFFF god. I hate mage fights. Specifically fire ball mages with the screen shaking like mad and all the crazy spell effects. It only gets worse adding my own magic in.
