Your most feared Fallout 3 enemy

[corporate_gamer]

The first time i saw a mirelurk coming out of the river to the right of me i literally jumped. But really all of them have their little weakness.

Ant, and fire Ants - just shoot a couple of their antenna in VATS and let them fight between themselves

Deathclaw - dart gun

radscorpion + mirelurks - i normally just run around in a circle, make it chase me and let my follower kill it, but if not the backwards run and gun does them nicely so long as your legs aren't crippled.

Ghouls - ghoul mask. priceless. failing that, shotgun (terrible for preference) to the head in VATS sorts them out sharpish

Super mutant behemoths - a big fuck load of ammo + somewhere to hide, small doorway and the like.

I also hate Yao Guais because of how fast and strong they are. I still haven't really figured out what is effective against them.

Dart gun. One hit and you can play with them.

DEATHCLAWS
WHEN I SAW ONE THE FIRST TIME
BRICKS WERE SHAT

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.

Basically everything you said.

Everything in this thread that isn't from DLC.

Deathclaws are bastard-covered bastards with a bastard filling. (cookies to whomever gets that reference).

A famous speech by Dr. Cox from Scrubs. Cookie please.

For me it was those damn boatflies. Those things creep the hell out of me.

Deathclaws

Death Claws I have yet to find an "easy" way to kill them.

Here's your cookie.
Also, bloatflies are annoying as well.

Actually, I have a new enemy - Super Mutant Overlords. I was playing on Very Hard, in Vault 87. SHITTING CHRIST!

I have to turn down the difficulty to kill them. I am not exaggerating - this is what it took to kill one :

2300 shots from Eugene
1500 shots from Vengeance
200 shots from A3-21's Rifle
20 shots from the Alien Blaster
300 shots from the Metal Blaster
and 98 stimpacks.

Damn deathclaws killed my dog.

 

[Khazoth]

Albino Radscorpians, they make Deathclaws look like little bitches.

I fear the increase increase spawns the most. I was about level 5 had just got a minigun and I left megaton. As soon as the game loaded 3 Yao Guai spawn right outside the entrance. Thank god for QS is all I can say.

 

[quiet_samurai]

I fear nothing in Fallout 3!! Fear me and my Lincolns repeater!!!

 

[zacaron]

once I got the power armor I just killed everything with shotgun and chinese assult rifle

 

[thebestaround21]

My list includes, Fire ants, Deathclaws, Sentry Bots, Super Mutants( of all varieties mainly because their ubiquitous) and Giant Radscorpions.

 

[GodofMadness]
