Your worst enemies.

What is the enemy you just hate fighting or scare you the most? Sometimes we have irrational fears of things and often in games there is one enemy I encounter early in the game which is hard to kill then later when I am powerful enough to cut through a dozen of them they still scare me. lol.

I hate fighting the Dread Zombies. I don't know what it is, they just seem to regenerate and it takes me forever to kill one and if there are other things attacking me it's really difficult. I also am creeped out by zombies and catching their diseses!

The scalons in Shivering Isles. They hang out being all invisible and then suddenly teleport right in front of your face as they become visible and attack you. So many "heart attacks" from those things...

(Actually I have an irrational fear of most of the bad guys in SI. They don't look right, they don't move right, and they make me very nervous.)

At first I hated fighting vampires. They have alot of life and the bastards are usually in the dark. But then afterwards I caught the disease and became one. So I ain't afraid to face any enemies anymore. Vampires make great stealth killers

Trolls. Damn trolls come out of nowhere with their stupid camoflauge in the grass and fast speed. The Undrfryktre Matron squared the crap out of me. I was just strolling across the mountains exploring and all of a sudden i was gettin attacked alot by something invisible that took a while to kill. By the way the Undrfrykrte Matron is a giant, sometimes invisible troll.

I don't think I ran into her yet, the Matron I mean. I can imagine being pretty freaked out by it though. lol.

The Matron was never invisible to me. I tend to be kind of a coward about stuff and ran to the outskirts of the nearest city, where it was eliminated by nearby guards. The scariest enemy to me were always Blackwood Company or the Black Hand.

I did that with the Matron with the Imperial waterfront. Didnt work out well. It was a blood bath with all the dead bodies on the floor. I took it to the waterfront because i thought it would be funny not because i couldnt kill it.

i hate any kind of wraith, and the annoying silence and burden curse's they put on my mage characters.

[–] Bhammovieguy77 14 years ago

I am my own worst enemy. Seriously, during the quest in Shivering Isle, where you have to get the tree limb, and you have to fight a clone of your character, i get my butt kicked everytime. Usually survive the second attempt, but my health potion supply is severely depleted.

Close only counts with horseshoes, hand grenades, and thermo-nuclear weapons.

The Shivering Isles has a lot of really strange monsters. It's pretty intimidating when you first go there. Everything looks so strange. But they're really not much stronger than anything else in the game. Some of them are just a lot more aggressive.

Gloom Wraiths and Nether Lichs are the only enemies that annoy me.
I hate them!

There were so many things that kicked my ass early on in the game. Brown bears were some of the worst, for me. Staggering is what really hurts you.

The turning point for me was when I got some enchanted items that can reflect or absorb spells or attacks. Once you get a necklace that reflects 33 percent spells, a ring that absorbs 30 percent spells and attacks, and some armor that absorbs or reflects as well, you're pretty much unstoppable. In fact, the game became almost too easy once I got those items. I could destroy everything in my sleep, including bosses like Umaril.

I started a new game and forgot what a pansy I am! I'm running for my life from bears, trolls, wolves, everything.

Super Mutant Brute, Behemoth, Yao Guai, Deathclaw.... lol. But seriously I've always found vampires to be tough as hell.

The fish in the Go Fish! Quest scare the hell out of me! I mean they are rather easy with a shock spell, but if they attack me, they scare me! Ergh!

Also those... lizard like creatures in Oblivion. <shivers>

Imps also like to make me mad...

some enemies are just a pain. the will o wisps because they always damage (not drain) your willpower, which lasts until you fix it. the gloom wraiths, same thing. and the goblin warlords at high levels (above 20) are friggin tough, i can whack them with the umbra sword or daedric claymore (damage score of 25) four or five times and they don't die. and the big grummites in SI can be a pain too, they can absorb a lot of physical damage.

favorite enemies -- necromancers, dread zombies (always a good challenge), brown bears, ogres are always fun. i wish they had included at least one race of giant and dragon in the game, that would have been friggin awesome combat.

never underestimate the greatest powers in the game -- chameleon and invisibility. sneak attacks are the way to go in oblivion, especially against the pain in the arse monsters that can damage your abilities.

Will o'the Wisps are pretty high on the list. They're deadly if you let them get too close to you and you don't have any sort of magic resistance-- especially if you're a relatively weak mage, since they absorb health and absorb magicka.

Mountain lions are deadly when they first start showing up too. They're fast and they do a lot of damage and they're hard to hit with any sort of ranged attack.

The worst though, in my opinion, are Goblins. Pretty much all of them are stronger than they have any business being and they're not worth killing anyway, since they have crappy loot. And they make that terrible screeching noise. As if that's not enough, Goblin Shamans and Warlords are among the few creatures that never stop leveling. By the time you get to level 30 or so, a Goblin Warlord will have close to 1,000 hit points. Goblin Shamans don't have as many hit points, but they conjure headless zombies one after another and usually have strong elemental magic. And they still have crappy loot.
