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

[Moonlight Butterfly]

Caster's who are outside. For some reason they see you coming from miles away and usually you don't have time to stealth before they shoot you in the face with concentrated lightning.

Only ones who give me any problem.

 

[Paladin Anderson]

Wolves. Only because they are everywhere and keep jumping me.

Dragons die in one to 5 hits.
Dwarven constructs die in one to three.
Humanoids die in one to three.
Frostbite Spiders die in one or two.
Draugr die in one to three.
Trolls die in two.
Giants die in two.
Dragon Priests die in two or three.
Attronachs die in one or two.
Dremora die in one or two, and I am immune to their fire attacks once I summon a flame attronach to make them stop their fire attacks and run up to fight me with a dagger instead.

In case you are wondering, normal difficulty, level 52, Full Daedric oversmithed beyond legendary by 3 levels, dual wielding Daedric swords. The average lifespan of my enemy is about 2 seconds. Can range from 0.5 to 3.5 though, dependant on my reaction times. Elemental Fury rapes is all I have to say.

You should get yourself some mods man.

Try these two.

They'll work together too which will up the power of dragons another notch on top of what the dragon mod does on its own. The dragon one has the option of "more difficult" and "ludicrous difficulty" If you want to really test your character, go with ludicrous, up your difficulty to max, then go do some dragon hunting.

Just be sure to be wearing some serious elemental resistance or you wont survive a single breath attack.

I don't despise any particular enemy, just that one OP boss-type mob that every dungeon has, who insta-kills my mage when I so much as blink.

 

[Cowabungaa]

High level mages are the only mobs that can still wreck my shit, especially when they keep spamming spells instead of switching to a feeble little dagger as most ranged mobs do when I rush their asses. Their spells seem to do so much more damage than mine, so I usually just try to chop them up. The delights of being a Battlemage, having the best of both worlds.

 

[R3dF41c0n]

Dragons: Not because I have a hard time killing them (except the fire types, my frost magic isn't very good) but because I see them as pests.

Seriously, the legendary and heroic dragonborn is reduced to a mere exterminator.

 

[Muspelheim]

Just a quick hint for the arachnophobes:
There's a very popular mod out there that turns all spiders in the game into bears.
Only their appearance changes, so it doesn't mess up your game.
Go looking for it at the Skyrim Nexus (just google that).

I thought about that, but it felt like it wouldn't be much better than to just console 'em dead. I'll just zoom the camera out, unfocus my eyes and smack 'em dead the usual way. Combat the phobia and all.

Oh, and I forgot to mention the sabre tooth. I doubt they're an endangered species, and if they are, they aren't endangered enough.

 

[95spartans]

1.falmer and chaurus
2.oneshoting mages
3.wispmoters/ice wraiths (both are hard to see and i think wispmothers spawn other things)

 

[neil1990]

For me I'm mostly ok with spiders except the really big ones. And I probably would have a panic attack if one dropped from the ceiling. Fortunately that hasn't happened yet

 

[RuralGamer]

I've had problems with most enemies, but the one that stands out are humanoids, mainly because they just refuse to obey the laws of physics sometimes and arrows pass clean through them! I've had similar problems with Dwemer spiders, so it may be an archery thing.

Oh and Draugr Death Overlords can go and die in a ditch; first one I met took like ten arrows, of which 3 were sneak attacks. Also, some of the bigger Draugr also have extremely cheap tactics which you can't defeat, usually involving shouts which they can spam much faster than your; anyone who's done the Gauldur Amulet quest (forget the name) may have encountered the situation where at the end, the second brother is unbeatable because he and his clones keep Unrelenting Force-ing you into a wall or something while they riddle you full of arrows, whereas if you stand at range, they incessantly knock your bow out of your hands.

And why the heck are spiders more fire-resistant than bears? I've found the spiders can take a full Magicka bar of flames, whereas a bear cannot.

 

[darron13]

Those goddamn Spriggans.
I HATE those things!

As a fire based mage I laugh at your weakness! Ha ha! ha ha!

I hate those sabre tooth fucking tigers, they come out of no where, you can be just walking along calmly then a giant cat jumps out a bush takes half your health in one hit then chases you, is faster than you and takes about 2% of its health off when you hit it! Needless to say I dont travel by Winterhold anymore.

*Shakes fist at dramatically*

 

[Magicmad5511]

Used to be Spiders. I am arachnophobia and not to long ago I just ended up fire balling from across rooms. Then I decided to hit one with my electrified mace and you'd be surprised how therapeutic it is toward my fear of them.
Still creeped out by the eggs and webs that accompany them though.
Also starting to get scare of Chaurus. Creepy little clicky death beetles.

On another but similar note, Slaughterfish. I hate creatures in water. I've seen one so I know they exist but now I'm really wary of every single body of water in the game.

Nothing annoys me for being to powerful. It just makes it feels all the better when I finly stab them with my duel Ebony Blades.

 

[iNsAnEHAV0C]

Bears, why isn't bears an option. I hate those things *RWARRRRR* Damn it I just walked within 2 miles of a bear and now it wants to fight me. BRB

 

[Gorilla Gunk]

It's really just one instance but I hate those wisp things in that one College of Winterhold quest, the part where you have to fight like 20 of them.

 

[scorptatious]

I've always hated dealing with magic users like necromancers. Especially when I go up against a boss one. Although they seem to be less and less of an issue now that I've been properly using my wards to charge through their magical onslaught and then beat the crap out of them with my melee weapons.

 

[NinjaDeathSlap]

3rd most frustrating are Dwarven constructs. They can take a shit load of damage and they just do not let up due to feeling no pain.

2nd most frustrating would be be the Ice Wraiths. Fast, almost impossible to see and they fuck you up in seconds.

But without doubt, the most fist clenching, teeth grinding, controller throwing banes of my life in that game are the mother. Fucking. FROST TROLLS! They kill you in about three hits, they run faster than you, they can take shit loads of damage and it's no use attacking them from range with your bow because their health regenerates.

The most frustrating moment in the whole game is when you escape the Thalmor embassy thinking you've just owned it, only to find yourself trapped in a very confined space with a Frost Troll. He must have fucked me up about a hundred times before I beat him by the skin of my teeth.

 

[Jak23]

Why aren't those goddamn Chaurus on this list?

 

[AshtonF]

The BUUUUUUUGS they are everywhere man! I spam the flames to burn aware the fear, BUT I DON'T DO DESTRUCTION, nothing happens as more and more pile onto my corpse as I am slowly burn with my blood being replaced with poison. I struggle as the webs tighten, breaking my ribs. THE BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGS

 

[spartan231490]

Ice wraiths. They're a ***** to hit because they move strange and they leave a trail that looks just like the actual creature, which makes it hard to know where they are.

 

[Phlakes]

...........I froze and probably pooed a little.............

So.....

You gonna review that?

Right now I'm working on reviewing that review to complete the trilogy. Then we'll see.

 

[DannyJBeckett]

Gotta say, I'm surprised the Falmer and their accompanying Chaurus didn't get their own option.

I fuggin' hate the Falmer so much! I hate the fact that they're blind, yet they seem to be able to see me, even though I've got 100 Sneak and a bunch of the associated perks, and am crouched motionless in complete darkness. (I know they're supposed to have heightened senses of smell and sound, but the game doesn't actually register detection based on smell, and like I said I'm completely motionless) I also hate the fact that when I was at a lower level, trying to do the main quest, I had to crawl on my stomach through a HUGE Falmer-infested ruin at a snail's pace because at the level I was at it would literally take 4-5 hits from any Falmer and I was dead, which led to me leaving the ruin, levelling up a few times, then having to do the whole sodding dungeon again with even higher-level Falmer in my way!

Also, a special mention goes to any mage-type enemy who uses a Ward spell. I usually open a battle with one of my shouts, so having that blocked then having to run up to the mage while they spew destruction spells out at me is pretty annoying.
