Your most feared Fallout 3 enemy

[VeX1le]

Everything in this thread that isn't from DLC.
I hate them all.
Mirelurks are isopods from hell.
Fire Ants are ants...from hell.
Giant Radscorpions are normal Radscorpions, after Steroids ( or Buffout).
Deathclaws are bastard-covered bastards with a bastard filling. (cookies to whomever gets that reference).

im possibly late to the party but Scrubs. can i still has my cookie?

Sure, but it's a bit dusty.

i still takes cookie

God damn you for making me want to play Fallout 3. I'm at work now, so I can't.

I just got to start on Broken Steel before I went, too!

OT: I would say the damned mole rats. Back when I exited the vault for the first time, having given the pistol to Amata, the bastards tag-teamed me to death. It was a very confusing experience.

feral ghoul reavers

 

[z121231211]

Sentry bots, I specailise in Small Guns and even at level 20 I don't think I could take on more than 1 at a time. Everything else I can deal with very easily.

 

[LogicNProportion]

Albino Radscorpions make me unhappy. =[

What is the one enemy that you fear most in the Capital Wasteland? Have you found a way to "de-fang" said enemy, if so how?

The one enemy that seems makes me cringe in fear is the Deathclaw. You never see them coming 90% of the time and when you do they've already taken away a qarter of your health. Their speed is unprecedented, and their offensive capabilities are fatal. I have noticed that the Dart Gun will essentialy neuter a Deathclaw and can cut their movement speed to a crawl. After that I have the oppurtunity to either run or get in a few good headshots.

I've always loved Deathclaws because they always help me ( I got the animal friend perk before I saw any of them)

I never had much trouble with Feral Ghouls either. mainly because I'm very good at finding overpowered weapons.

the only enemy that has really made me wish that I had a lot more rounds on the fatman are the mirelurks... I hate mirelurks.

Death claws aren't affected by that perk, you are probably thinking of Yao gui. I hate Reavers and overlords equally since I usually find them in pairs

 

[Mongodyr]

Those darn Bloatflies. I hate them so much.
The only solution: A Fat Man to the face.

 

[Pantherman]

My followers when they pick up the Fat Man/Missile Launcher from my foes. Oh god...

Oh dear god yes. Both Charon and Fawks seen to have a total disregaurd for ANYTHING living when they pick up a weapon. I've taken to leaving them back at my Megaton home because I'm safer WITHOUT THEM around.

im going to have to go with the death claws, although they aren't that bad if you get the alien blaster. Actually, quite easy with the blaster...

I might normally say deathclaws, but those are really the ones that are the most dangerous, not the ones I'm afraid of. My most feared Fallout 3 enemy is definitely the feral ghoul. I'll admit, I'm quite the coward, and if I walk into a dungeon and hear that "RAAAGGHH!" sound of a ghoul, I get the hell out of there. I know I can probably mow down a whole gaggle of ghouls with a few strokes of my shishkebab, but there's just something about them that terrifies me on a primal level. Like I said, I'm a coward, and it took me a long time to get used to going into dungeons where enemies could jump out at me. I can just barely tolerate the suspense. However, this doesn't happen at all with human enemies (raiders, mercenaries, enclave, etc.). I guess I'm just used to seeing humans all the time and they don't register as a that big of a threat in my subconscious mind.

 

[MiracleOfSound]

Mirelurk hunters scare the shit out of me... they come up in my face trying to hug me with all those dangly bits... I literally cannot fight them in first person view, it makes me feel ill.

I always switch to Third person and go all Oblivion on thier asses with my Shishkebab.

Same goes for the click click of Giant Radscorpion legs in my headphones...

 

[cainx10a]

Those radiated roaches are the worst thing since, since, well, they are the worst!

And comeon, Mirelurks are just mutated crabs, I want to adopt one! and cook it ...

 

[Assassin Xaero]

Nothing is really that threatening... I hate it when I quick travel and land in front of a deathclaw though... Oh, and those damn inbreds and reavers are annoying, but not much of a threat...

 

[Eklyx]

I've always had this thing about sentry bots, I never seem to be prepared to fight one when they show up. It's always when I'm stumbling awat from a really intense fight and BAM, they start shooting missles at me before I can even think.

Also albino radscorpions and feral ghoul reavers, I'm never going into the subway again.

 

[Internet Kraken]

Albino Radscorpions make me unhappy. =[

Ha. I've been fighting those recently. Turns out I can outrun them. So I just walk backwards, hitting them in the face with Shishkebab whenever they get to close. They can't even damage me.

 

[SimicShy]

The Feral ghoul reaver and the super mutant overlord are my most feared enemy.

My greatest Fallout 3 enemy are those over powered giant rad scorpions. How the fuck can a fucking super mutant be killed with one headshot, yet it takes multiple headshots to take down a mutant arachnid!?

This. Even the Deathclaw dies in a few headshots, but it is only the Giant Radscorpions that force me to backpedal away. I guess I overcame them after downloading a mod that gave me a bolter from Warhammer 40K. It settles most of my problems rather quickly.

 

[LINKXIII]

the rad scorpions are the worst. They sting you once and your health is drained and if there are 6 your dead

 

[The AI]

My most feared enemy is not really that dangerous or anything, but I just had a really bad first experience with them: fire ants.

I was just walking around in the Capital Wasteland, trying to find my way to a city, when suddenly I found myself in the ruins of another one. I saw some ants in the distances and started shooting them. They couldn't hit me, I could hit them. It was a nice XP bonus. I continued when I suddenly see three of the ants rushing towards me. No problem, I thought, I can kill them with one or two headshots. And then they suddenly started to fucking BREATHE FIRE at me.

I still don't want to get near the ugly fuckers...

I agree with this. O_O
