Forget the Cliffracers.

What about the damn Slaughterfish?

Until Morrowind, I never got the "Slaughter" in Slaughterfish. Spalshing around in mud and filth one day, I descend into the water to make a short crossing, to get mobbed by a herd of seven slaughterfish. And its the same everywhere - There seems to be shoals of them every few centimetres, as common as you like, with there fat ugly faces, snot - coloured skin and vicious little nippers. Floundering around desperately to get to the surface, you are constantly pinched by those vile creatures. They are pretty much the marine other to the beloved Cliff racers. They should be married. And yes, I got three cliffraces heaped on top of eachother in an air borne stairlift to flick their tails at me and make winey noises.

Lets make this a competition shall we, whose the most irritating? The little fish, or the big birds? Ow how I love Kynarath's little [censored] :rofl:

The fish. Definitely. Slaughterfish make swimming in Morrowind something I do as little as possible.

Slaughterfish for me as well. I never found cliffracers particulary annoying, not more than any other hostile creature.

Cliffracers are far more annoying than Slaughterfish. Maybe its just because I don't swim that much, whereas I have Cliffracers chasing me up and down the countryside.

I don't know about you guys, but I find enemies with Paralyze weapons a lot more annoying :hehe:

I remember being woken up by two dark brotherhood lackeys, one of which had a dagger enchanted with paralyze. Needles to say I was not happy while they poked me repeatedly and the only thing I could do was mutter "oh.....owwweeee" helplessly.

Any way, definitely the slaughter fish.

I'll go with Cliffracers.

At least the slaughterfish is not as noisy. Even if you manage to kill the cliffracer quickly, you'll still be bleeding by the ears. :P

Cliffracers definitely...they "breed" like rabbits. Slaughterfish make good armor practice.

Slaughterfish. Cliff racers are annoying bastards, but slaughterfish... oh slaughterfish. Never have I been more scared of traversing the waters in a video game.

I voted Cliffracers, but I have to admit I actually stopped playing my last Morrowind character because of the Slaughterfish. I bought all of the repair hammers Arrille had in stock and took my brand-new level 1 character island-hopping near Seyda Neen.

A half hour later she got stuck on an island, surrounded by Slaughterfish. Her hammers were used up, her weapon was completely broken, and there were still something like five Slaughterfish eagerly watching her every move, waiting for her to come back into the water.

I either had to start a new character or play a different game. I said, "Heck with this," and started a new Oblivion character. There were not nearly as many Slaughterfish in Cyrodiil.
