Killed by a Ridiculously Underpowered Enemy

[SextusMaximus]

I started Skyrim up again the other day with the hopes of making an Archer build with no stealth to see how well it played out.
After playing through with Stealth archers twice, I thought it would be pretty interesting.
For the most part, he handles pretty well, especially in open world scenarios. However, in caves he sucks against even moderate enemies.

The results of this? Death by apprentice frost mage. Pretty ridiculously embarrassing considering he was by himself as well.

So what stupidly underpowered critters, creatures or NPCs have you been killed by?

i was at the top of the leader board in killing floor with my sharp shooter, just one enemy left and what happens? i decided to take a gore fast 1v1 with my knife.

I don't know why I tried either.

In Skyrim I wouldn't ever consider a frost mage to be underpowered. They do insane amounts of damage and sometimes glitch you so you CANNOT move, like at all, and so you die for lack of an option.

At the very lest they always slow you down, which seems to last until you sheath/unsheath your whatever again.

I've been one shot by more ice mages than Drauger Uber Deathlords.

That being said.. *haaa ha* <-- Nelson Voice

OT I laugh everytime I get pwned by a dregling in a Soul's game. I'll be running up and going to do a running attack and they just go ape shit and I'm eating their torch...

T-t-t-t-t-TRIPLE POST! XD

EDIT: Oh now who's talking... Instant post before I even wrote my damn sentence because the enter button decides to I want to post instead of just spacing down. Thanks Instant Karma.

OT: Minions in LoL. Especially on lower levels. You face tank a whole minion wave at level 3 and lol that's half your health gone. It's hilarious to just about lose a 1v1 with the guy left on like 50 HP but he's still taking minion aggro so there're these little orbs of death follow him until he dies.

Oh and there's that clip of a huge minion wave ganging up on a half health Teemo and pretty much gangbanging him to death. Looks like minions hate Teemo just as much as the human race... They refuse to just let him farm them in peace dammit!

Well they certainly messed me up. Frost is easily worse than fire or lightning (unless you're a mage obviously)

On my first playthrough of Halo Reach, I ended up playing the very last mission with a friend, and after a pretty tough round, I ended up getting killed by an elite. There was absolutely no-one around but two grunts, so my friend rushed them head on & ended up getting killed somehow. I have never laughed so much at the end of a game.

Morrowind, 5 minutes in, FUCKING MUDCRAB!

Not really my fault, more of Morrowinds shite on a bike combat system.

 

[Zantos]

Warhammer 40k Space Marine and Kill Team. Emperor's elite warriors mowing down orks left, right and centre with holy bolter fire, and oh fuck, there's a single gretchin stood behind me with that glorified butter knife of theirs.

I'm pretty sure doing something that stupid is blasphemy.

As for Skyrim. Frost mage, meet Grey Knight. Grey Knight, frost mage. What's that Grey Knight? Burn the witches?

C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!

OT: I got killed by a gibberling on Baldur's gate a couple days ago, it 1 shot me. (This is on hardest difficulty)

I got killed by a kobold in Nethack on my first move........ I wasn't too happy that day.

I use the unleveled Skyrim [http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/19636], and duel combat realism [http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/2700] mods, which together make any mage a bloody powerhouse of mass destruction, they have tonnes of health, know the master spells, and can heal themselves fully in about 5 seconds flat. Until you've managed to enchante all your armour to resist magic, flames, and frost you're just totally screwed, and it makes the game awesome.

On topic, in Team Fortress 2 I remember having a completely rubbish team for Mann vs. Machine, they refused to do any class other than snipers, spies, or scouts, and thus we couldn't even get past the very first round, despite having a dozen tries for about an hour. That was awful.

Goombas. All they do is walk stupidly across the screen. Yet I'm sure everyone here has died many, many times from those SOBs.

Darn you I was about to say that.

Well I have been killed by the occasional grunt whenever I played one of the Halo games.

Damn stickies!

Icewind Dale.

Goblins right outside the starting village. You get enough goblin archers on you at once, and with enough luck, you'll lose one character per round

Headcrab in Black Mesa...

Little buggers mobbed me after one of the hellish HECU encounters (Dear god BM team I can beat HL1 on hard and did so as prep but those Marines are bullshit on toast.)

This. I've lost more souls and humanity to one of those fuckers than to any boss, ever.
