Are there? I've seen what look like vultures over megaton but are there creatures that fly and attack people like the demons from the metro 2033 series? I would imagine just like in metro they would inhabit destroyed citys but if there are none its still the same to me I want this [censored] game!!!

I'm sure we've all witnessed plenty of flying deathclaws

The Bloatfly. Very annoying.

As mentioned above, bloatflies... Or the infamous and impossible to iill legendary bloatfly

Fallout 3 had flying raiders too but this tend to be in combination with exploding cars.

Would've been lovely if the cazadors could actually fly more than a meter off the ground. Imagine them circling around above you then swooping down one by one.

I'd rather not, as that removes splash damage from explosives as an effective means of killing the demons.

Mutated brown bats

The great predator of the wild west; The CAZADORE

Mutated flying squirrels.

As long as it isn't cliffracers. those b@$!$&@$ would chase me across all of Morrowind. Days later. In towns. Next to guards, who just stood there.

Hate those things.

The clifracers was a bit too soft target, they was slow and had no ranged attack. Very easy to kill with ranged weapons or magic. If I didn't use a bow I made an simple ring with fire danage 50 on target who would one shot the normal one, later I made an better one.

How about an miniature robot vertibird think armed like an sentry bot.

it would be an more challenging enemy.

Now that I've played more Bethesda games, I'd handle them differently. But, I went in to Morrowind on the XBox with no idea what I was doing, or understanding what was going on. Now, I'd be torching them with glee for all those messed up encounters.

Yes, far to many went pure melee and in that case the clifracers would be annoying however it was pretty easy to get some ranged capablity against cliffracers and to pull enemies.

As for bloatfllys I mostly leave them to followers

After Skyrim they certainly have the tech sorted. The only question is, would it fit in any way into Fallout?

They may have something like, in some places or at particular points in the story, the risk of attack by vertibirds, that you either have to evade or shoot down, but that would probably be fairly late stage stuff, when there's at least some chance the player has got hold of appropriate armour and weaponry. Maybe some high-tech enemies could use jet-packs or the like.

Possibly Floaters could make a reappearance, but they're not really flying, as such. And I suppose any new monstrous mutated creature could make an appearance. A giant condor that attacks with projectile vomiting, maybe ?

I suspect Vertibirds may be Fallout 4's version of dragons.

the flying enemy that randomly attacks you throughout the game.

Nothing about it myself if an rare random encounter. To make it more fun let it land deploy troops after finding you, then it provide fire support.

This is the real life version http://images3.alphacoders.com/759/75969.jpgNote the gateling and the rocket launcher.

I really hope not. It would be another one of those "How does this make any sense?" Bethesda moments.

How does it not?

if the people who own the verts are trying to kill you.... why would they not send people to try to kill you?

Because honestly, if the NCR can't field an air force of Vertibirds that is a threat, how could a smaller faction just blindly field a likely smaller force of Vertibirds, just to be shot down, blown up, etc. because someone said, "Fallout needs it's own version of dragons, and Vertibirds are it." That would be, like I said, one of those Bethesda moments that makes no sense. Fallout and TES don't have to be copies of each other, so when one has this, the other has it as well.

The NCR does have an airforce of Vertibirds, you see like 4-5 of then on the Long 15 in Lonesome Road, should you chose to nuke it, and that's just that one outpost.

I didn't say the NCR didn't have an air force, I said they couldn't field one that was a threat, and 4-5 Vertibirds is not an air force. If 4-5 Vertibirds is all the NCR is willing to put out onto the front however, out of however many they captured at Navarro, a much smaller faction who probably only be able to field 2-3 Vertibirds (if they're daring). Hardly the dragons that are in Skyrim, who randomly attack you.

Who says they can't? And where you are getting the idea that those 4-5 were the only ones they had, especially when I said "and that's just that one outpost."

Also, all the vertibirds we see in Fallout 3 were buit by the Enclave there at Raven Rock, and they are FAR smaller then the NCR. The Institute likely has just as many resources as they did, given that they can mass produce androids at whim.

*looks around* Mothership Zeta *runs away*

All of this might be cool.

But the only thing we really should be talking about if someone brings up flying is..

WHERE IS MY JETPACK?! Because this is the future, and I was promised a jetpack.
