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

[robodukky]

I really hate coming across high-level mages, especially those forsworn magic lads. If I can sneak up on them, its not much trouble, but if they even get suspicious of me they'll find me with a light spell and fireball my scaly argonian arse.

Draugr in large numbers can be pretty annoying too.

 

[RickyRich]

I rather enjoy fighting the undead, since they are my main source of souls I use for my enchanting. I cannot stand fighting the Dwarven constructs and Falmer. They both just seem to pop out of nowhere and get the jump on you at time. Plus, when there are Dwarven constructs, 7 out of 10 times there are Falmer somewhere in that dungeon as well. And to that, I say "Hell no!"

 

[The_Lost_King]

Mages because they have near infinite magicka. On the topic of spiders though i let my friend play skyrim and in bleak falls barrow he saw the webs and he asked is there gunna be a spider when i said yes he asked me to just play that part for him. but i dont see the big deal they don't look like real spiders.

 

[Vuliev]

FUCKING.

BEARS.

God, bears are annoying. They're not hard to kill past level 15 or so, but they just pop up and come straight at your face. You know, maybe I just wanted a nice break from adventuring and killing, Mr. Scumbag Snow Bear.


Also, the dragon AI can be frustrating at times. The whole "hurr imma attack you, then fly to the other side of the mountain to attack a skeever, then not fly back at you for the next ten minutes" thing is really kind of douchey.

 

[Daniel_Rosamilia]

Most mage swarms.
Why?
Because even with 500+ health (poured level stats into it, plus the Gauldur Amuet (+30 Health, Stamina and Magicka)), 3 mages, even Adept Necromancers, can ice-spam me to near-death, and being slowed down DOES NOT HELP.
Dwarven Centurions, even the Master ones, no problemo. But throw a mage or two in there, and I'm sprinting out of there like a *****.
EDIT: I guess it's my fault being level 75, I should know better than to have no magic resistance at all.

 

[CATB320]

The huge spiders -- I'm an arachnophobe as well. I hear there's a mod that turns all spiders into bears, but I play it on the Xbox.
I'm really sick of Draugr, but I suppose ice wraiths are the most annoying. It always seems like I'm about to hit my horse!

 

[Erttheking]

Draugr, when I dread them more than the dragons, something has gone very very wrong. The magic, the high health, the heavy attacks the Thu'um, everything about them screams Demonic Spider.

 

[Davey Woo]

The Falmer.
Seriously why do they do so much freakin' damage!?
I know they have poison but even when that doesn't trigger they are just ridiculous.

I'd rather fight 20 Draugr than 3 Falmer at once (and come to think of it in one dungeon I did fight 20 Draugr)

 

[Grimfolse]

Y'know, I'm level 28 and I still haven't even met any Falmer. Guess I'm in for a treat.

Also, my bad on not including "Beasts" as an option up there, everyone. I really should have, though, what with the trouble I've had from Bears and Sabre Cats.

 

[MintberryCrunch]

Ice wraiths are the worst you can barely see them and they do freaking ice damage that makes you slow, they fly everywhere and are a pain in the a** to hit.

You've evidently never had to try and hit a Kwarma Forager on Morrowind with a low agility.

It's the one thing I can describe as true pain.
OT: Frostbite Spiders. I actually love spiders and have never had a fear of them, it's just that they poison you incredibly easy, have frost attacks that drain Health and Stamina and are just incredibly annoying in the first few levels.

 

[flakmagnet]

Still fairly early on in the game, but vampires for me, specifically the Vampire Master in broken fang cave. Took me an age to kill him off.

 

[oZode]

Dragons, they are so cheap. I mean they can take 1/3 of your health with a fire attack that doesn't have any warning and still hits you even when you do that dash shout, constantly fly and rarely land for you to hurt them, but then again I am a person who devotes their skills to having tons of stamina and dual wielding weaponry.

And oddly enough I have little problem with constructs or even frost trolls. You can just avoid the construct's attacks and that steam breath of doom only gets you if you don't move out of the way when they are preparing to hit you with it. And with frost trolls, all you need to do is move backwards and keep hitting them with a sword that burns them when they come at you and hope nothing else attacks you while doing this.

That guy was a pain, especially at low levels. Killed me a few times before I finally got him.

Also, as an update to the Falmer question, I'm finding them quite easy to deal with as a stealthy Khajiit archer. Cleared a dungeon or two of the little buggers without being noticed at all.

 

[Rascarin]

Chaurus, Ice Wraiths and boss-level mages. Everything else, even top-level dragons, are easy.

 

[xinoxX]

Low level dragons cause they taunt me. Can never hit them while they fly above me cause they're too low level to aggro onto me normally.

Until I maxed alteration and got the atronach perk, mages of any kind were annoying.

Also if it hasn't been said... you only need 526 armour I believe to be at the armour cap. So people saying they wear full daedric isn't that impressive...

 

[Doclector]

Conjurers. One is fine. Two is difficult. More is "Holy crap every single one summoned a damn flame atronarch". A**holes.

 

[DementedSheep]

Most hated hmmm....I?m still fairly early in the game but bears and wolves are bloody annoying and dragon are frustrating when they ignore you, destroy a town or piss off in the middle of a battle. Ice Wraiths are annoying because they are hard to actually see.
Chaurus killed the shit out of me when I first encountered them but now they are easy. Wispmothers, Draugr Deathlords and some enemy mages if they are using shock magic are about the only things that still give me some trouble but I don?t hate them.

 

[Blank Verse]

I'm playing on the highest difficulty. I have three characters above 60-- a quintessential 'paladin,' wizard, and rogue.

My paladin hits for about 230 with his 2h mace. He also ignores 70% of armor, so there is little mitigating his mace. (Although min-maxers will say NPCs typically don't have armor, or have low armor, I've found that perk is the only way to increase my damage after a certain point of min-maxing.) He has a powerful restoration skill, so nothing harms him for long. I can literally wade into 8 enemies and shrug them off. He's also at the 80% physical mitigation cap.

He fears nothing.

My wizard has high level conjuration, illusion, alteration, and destruction. He can't kill things quickly, but between maintaining aggro with pets, and crowd-controlling everything with strong illusion spells, he's untouchable.

Stealth is OP as hell. I don't think I need to comment on its ease at a high level.

This game really isn't challenging-- I play it for the aesthetic, and the roleplay. If any enemy, I hate any and all Thalmor.

I'm a true Nord of Skyrim, and I hunt Thalmor religiously.

Well of course nothing scares you when you're that high-leveled. How about when you were still a neophyte adventurer? Anything give you pause then?

for me, hagravens....their weird and annoying as shit!
