Poll: Which enemy/enemy type in Skyrim do you hate the most?

[Fijiman]

Mages suck, especially if they are a "boss" type. So do the high-level Draugr. Not really dangerous, just incredibly tedious with their huge amounts of health and annoying shouts.

I hate it Draugrs shout. Almost every time I fly across a room I think "HOLY SHIT! I'm dead!" before getting back up. And high level mages suck too.

Bears. F'ing hate bears I've come to the conclusion that any bear that is put into a Bethesda game is evil. They're not so bad once you reach god-like levels in the games, but are evil to low level characters.

 

[ChaosBorne]

the Draugr, they are simply too prevalent and the higher level you get the more ridiculous their health becomes, especially when you've been neglecting your enchanting/smithing like i had been the first time i encountered a deathlord i got mauled without so much as taking off a fifth of it's health, stinking draugr and their stupid health bar grumble.

now i have less trouble with them but they still annoy me as all hell.
there's simply too many of them, i swear there's more undead nords walking around skyrim then there are living ones.

 

[jetricx]

I'd say dragons, but I still need souls so....
Probably Dwemer stuff. I hate that they're immune to both absorb health and slow enchantments.
Although skeevers tend to scare the living shit out of me every time they wait behind a door and attack me the second I go through it.

 

[pspman45]

I hate the dragons
they're piss easy, but their loot weighs so much Q_Q
I have to go back to Whiterun each time I kill one because my scrawny mage boy can't carry anything

 

[Shifty]

hag fucking ravens. Seriously. All others I have never had any trouble with. But hag ravens. Someone back me up.

 

[anthony87]

Fucking Spriggans. Seriously, fuck Spriggans.

2nd place would go to Wispmothers and Ice Wraiths.

Any humanoid (which in Skyrim, seems to be any enemy with even the slightest leaning toward magic) that can cast a pesky frost spell. As my char is a dual wielding type, I rely mostly on getting in close to deal the most damage and getting hit by one of these spells that seems to slow me, appropriately, to glacial speeds is most infuriating.

Also, vampires, especially in groups. I recently stumbled upon a master vampire and his friends in a cave somewhere. Took many attempts of trial and error before finally coming up with a strategy that worked. Though calling "turn into a werewolf then charge into the middle of the group" a strategy may have been a bit rich.

In the end, equipping my two ebony maces and firing up the Elemental Fury shout made short work of that lot.

I don't really have any trouble with beasts...even the snowy variety, I can usually drop them fairly quickly now.

Hagravens, though I haven't met one in a long time. The second time I crossed one though, I threw myself off a sheer drop in my haste to get away from the deformed birdwoman. The fall probably still did less damage to me than the hagraven would have.

I really hate coming across high-level mages, especially those forsworn magic lads. If I can sneak up on them, its not much trouble, but if they even get suspicious of me they'll find me with a light spell and fireball my scaly argonian arse.

Draugr in large numbers can be pretty annoying too.

 

[RickyRich]

I rather enjoy fighting the undead, since they are my main source of souls I use for my enchanting. I cannot stand fighting the Dwarven constructs and Falmer. They both just seem to pop out of nowhere and get the jump on you at time. Plus, when there are Dwarven constructs, 7 out of 10 times there are Falmer somewhere in that dungeon as well. And to that, I say "Hell no!"

 

[The_Lost_King]

Mages because they have near infinite magicka. On the topic of spiders though i let my friend play skyrim and in bleak falls barrow he saw the webs and he asked is there gunna be a spider when i said yes he asked me to just play that part for him. but i dont see the big deal they don't look like real spiders.

 

[Vuliev]

FUCKING.

BEARS.

God, bears are annoying. They're not hard to kill past level 15 or so, but they just pop up and come straight at your face. You know, maybe I just wanted a nice break from adventuring and killing, Mr. Scumbag Snow Bear.


Also, the dragon AI can be frustrating at times. The whole "hurr imma attack you, then fly to the other side of the mountain to attack a skeever, then not fly back at you for the next ten minutes" thing is really kind of douchey.

 

[Daniel_Rosamilia]

Most mage swarms.
Why?
Because even with 500+ health (poured level stats into it, plus the Gauldur Amuet (+30 Health, Stamina and Magicka)), 3 mages, even Adept Necromancers, can ice-spam me to near-death, and being slowed down DOES NOT HELP.
Dwarven Centurions, even the Master ones, no problemo. But throw a mage or two in there, and I'm sprinting out of there like a *****.
EDIT: I guess it's my fault being level 75, I should know better than to have no magic resistance at all.

 

[CATB320]

The huge spiders -- I'm an arachnophobe as well. I hear there's a mod that turns all spiders into bears, but I play it on the Xbox.
I'm really sick of Draugr, but I suppose ice wraiths are the most annoying. It always seems like I'm about to hit my horse!

 

[Erttheking]

Draugr, when I dread them more than the dragons, something has gone very very wrong. The magic, the high health, the heavy attacks the Thu'um, everything about them screams Demonic Spider.

 

[Davey Woo]

The Falmer.
Seriously why do they do so much freakin' damage!?
I know they have poison but even when that doesn't trigger they are just ridiculous.

I'd rather fight 20 Draugr than 3 Falmer at once (and come to think of it in one dungeon I did fight 20 Draugr)

 

[Grimfolse]

The Falmer.

Y'know, I'm level 28 and I still haven't even met any Falmer. Guess I'm in for a treat.

Also, my bad on not including "Beasts" as an option up there, everyone. I really should have, though, what with the trouble I've had from Bears and Sabre Cats.

 

[MintberryCrunch]

Ice wraiths are the worst you can barely see them and they do freaking ice damage that makes you slow, they fly everywhere and are a pain in the a** to hit.

You've evidently never had to try and hit a Kwarma Forager on Morrowind with a low agility.

It's the one thing I can describe as true pain.
OT: Frostbite Spiders. I actually love spiders and have never had a fear of them, it's just that they poison you incredibly easy, have frost attacks that drain Health and Stamina and are just incredibly annoying in the first few levels.

 

[flakmagnet]

Still fairly early on in the game, but vampires for me, specifically the Vampire Master in broken fang cave. Took me an age to kill him off.

 

[oZode]

Dragons, they are so cheap. I mean they can take 1/3 of your health with a fire attack that doesn't have any warning and still hits you even when you do that dash shout, constantly fly and rarely land for you to hurt them, but then again I am a person who devotes their skills to having tons of stamina and dual wielding weaponry.

And oddly enough I have little problem with constructs or even frost trolls. You can just avoid the construct's attacks and that steam breath of doom only gets you if you don't move out of the way when they are preparing to hit you with it. And with frost trolls, all you need to do is move backwards and keep hitting them with a sword that burns them when they come at you and hope nothing else attacks you while doing this.
