After getting Broken Steel, I hate the damned Overlords and Reapers >.> both of them take so much punishment, and as I've stated in the Fallout 3 weapon thread I don't use the Fatman so the damned things take deacades to die ¬.¬

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.

I've played Fallout 3 so many times now, no creature "scares" me.

First couple of playthroughs: Fire Ants, Deathclaws Mirelurk Hunters.

Then just Deathclaws.

The Broken Steel arrived, it was Feral Ghoul Reavers and Enclave bastards with the Incinerator cannon!

I was extremely lucky and found a half-dead deathclaw and a dead body of a wastelander holding the deathclaw gauntlet schematics. I killed it and thought, meh, they're not that bad.
I haven't killed one since.
Not because I didn't try.
And I've been suffering from Grayditch-o-fobia too. I've been trying to avoide the "THOSE!" quest but I know I'll have to get there eventually... No quest left behind. :p

Ghouls, albeit just in Dunwich Building.
Radroaches, because I HATE bugs.
Centaurs, since they have an ability to sneak up on me and stand at point blank when I turn around.

As for Behemoths, Deathclaws and Giant Radscorpions: no problem.

Mirelucks are really the only enemies in that game i found to be challenging, especially at low levels. Then after a while every baddie in the game is just about on the same scale for me. They all die, without much of a fight really.

Yes, the Dart Gun is fantastic for Deathclaws. In fact, I pretty much don't use it for anything else. Except griefing Raiders when I'm in a bad mood. Haha, it's so fun to make such savages, who had the arrogance to attack a level 20 hero with more guns in his clothes than teeth in his mouth, run away - SLOWLY - in disgrace.

Seriously, I would say that the Deathclaws present the most serious singular threat in the game. I had no problem with the Super Mutant Behemoths, but then I always understood that Small Guns aren't going to take it - use grenades (and not in VATS either) and other Explosive weapons.

But really, it comes down to your level. If you're level 20 and have no DLC, then nothing will really top you. That is, unless you've completely messed up your stat division, which is unfortunately very easy to do. Meanwhile, being level 5 you can have the bad luck of unknowingly coming across the random event Deathclaw, or travelling too far north to their Sanctuary and saving at the perfectly wrong time.

Personally, I had a big hatred going for the robotic enemies. Nothing will touch them really except for high-end, expensive weapons like the Fat Man or specially designed stuff like Pulse Grenades. I find that horribly cheap, for all its realism. Of course, ninety-nine times out of one hundred, I will have Pulse Grenades on me.

On very hard the overlords with those laser shotguns are worse than the reavers. Unlike the reavers they can actually hurt you and can withstand a direct fatman blast to the face.

Really? I find robotic enemies painstakingly easy. They seem to like taking 0 damage from energy weapons, so I usually just use my Chinese assault rifle, cleans up nicely. Until a fucking sentry bot comes along, then I "FUCK U BUTTON" it.
