Your most feared Fallout 3 enemy

Spoiler: Warning: Bad Pun

Your mum

Sorry about the bad joke. Anyway

Has everyone here forgotten about the Tesla Cannon? I hear tons of people saying Deathclaws and Albino Rad Scorpions, but those scorpions only have 1500 health, and the Tesla Cannon does almost 1,000 damage and takes only 1 EC Pack per shot which means its wonderfully ammo conservative. Deathclaws only have 500 health. Both enemies are killable by 1 or 2 shots from the Tesla Cannon. If you have max Energy Weapons and Big Guns skill, I suggest you take the Tesla Cannon and take over the world because it's possible. Alien Blaster or Firelance works as well with their large critical chance and multiplier of the normal damage.

For me it's the Super Mutant Behemoth because of their horribly high melee damage which could easily kill my followers. I once again turn to my Tesla Cannon and hope I can get the shots on him quick enough.

Those fucking fire ants. Not feared as such, but very bloody annoying.

 

[Aenir]

Fire. Ants.

Not only do they surprise you with a fucking ranged FIRE attack, you can't even see where you're goddamned shooting. You either have to be really far away or using VATS to be able to hit them.

 

[quack35]

Any of the Broken Steel baddies. Christ, those guys are tough.

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.

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 ^

 

[megapenguinx]

Damn deathclaws killed my dog.

Sir, I have never laughed so hard in my life, this should be your new motto.

 

[Harlemura]

Enclave Soldiers. Two or three on their own's fine, but if I come across more than about five I get smushed...

For those with Broken Steel download, it has to be the Rever Ghoul,
SO MANY HEAD SHOTS, BUT IT KEPT ON COMMING ITS RELENTLES AND EVIL, BURNING IT WITH FIRE EVEN DOESN'T WORK!!!!!

I tried everything,

I hate Sentry bots and Enclave heavys most, with Talon company a close second and raiders a distant third. Why? Missle Launchers out of nowhere with perfect accuracy untill you pick them up. They almost always cripple a limb with every shot (even with my lvl 20 with Tesla armor {PS3 version, so I am not bothered by indestructible ghouls}) and are usually a pain to find and take down since they are usually in the middle of the perverbial cluster-f**k.

Though a different kind of hate is held for Deathclaws and Yao Guai. They are dead simple to take down (Terrible shotty blast or 2 to the face, plus having 100 repair skill and plenty of spare parts to keep it in tip-top shape), but they always destroy my helmet in record time, which means I will have to go to my back-up one untill I can find another Enclave goon squad to decimate with one of my many named spin-offs of common weapons (it helps that the Encalve are stubbron and constantly send fresh goons to my favorite slaughterhouse (the other side of the Arefu bridge) that is littered with dozens of dead dudes an dudetts of their faction).

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.

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

Actually, he got that wrong. That line was given TO Dr. Cox. It was Dr. Kelso who delivered it, when the two were sitting on an outside bench at the end of a particular episode after having failed to make a cheerful woman (Dr. Clock) depressed. The exact dialogue went something along the lines of:

"Remember, Perry, people are just bastard-coated bastards with bastard filling."

[/nerdiness]


And to stay on-topic, those damn Giant Radscorpions. I have the ghoul mask and animal friends perk, but nothing keeps those bastards away. And they always show up in pairs, which is even worse.

Feral Ghoul Reaver, because it just tanks damage, and i never expected it, shot it with the guass rifle, guessed it was dead and walked past, then it came back for more, thank god i programmed the robots to kill stuffs.

and Deathclaws, simply because numerous times i've ventured through the wasteland and gone, why am i in danger? then have this beast tear my head off :S.

 

[DalekJaas]

Mannimarco and....mehrunes dagon.

 

[headshotcatcher]

Come on, I have no fear in fallout 3, my plasma rifle KO's everything once in every 3 shots anyway..

 

[CheeseSandwichCake]

I drop deathclaws, sentry robots, yao guai, albino radscorpions, armies of zombies with no problems what-so-ever...

BUT ONE FUCKING ENEMY THAT PISSES ME OFF THE MOST IS THE FUCKING FERAL GHOUL REAVER.

It's got a stupid amount of health and refuses to die, no matter how many friggin' gauss rounds I put into it, yet it's not worth a fatman blast. It can't hurt me, I can't hurt it. I don't fear it, I don't really fear anything in Fallout 3, it just pisses me off.

Funny though how about half of the fights with it is me abusing Gauss rifle knock-down to keep it on the floor while Fawkes wails on it with his Gatling laser.

I never really got past level 14 so my experiacne is limited (I found the game dull).
The most annoying ones i remember though are the mireluks. I was still trying to get started out and though 140 rounds for the chinese rifle would see me though any trouble. 3 mireluks later i was down to using my BB gun.

 

[IntoxicatedKnight]

Mirelurks...the Hunter's...haunt me
