Fighting each enemy type in a game feels different. not only because of the way the player needs to tackle the challenge (keep distance? stay close? block or evade?) but also due to the enemies abilities and AI.

Small creatures like giant spiders, wolves, bears etc are about man sized things that can usually attack but dont defend themselves. the rather simplistic AI will drive them towards the player but not much more. because of that fighting them is usually active and not too reactive since they can defend themselves very well if at all.

Humanoids are every creature that looks like a human being and is roughly the same size. these are probably the most sophisticated AIs in skyrim - they can usually do pretty much whatever the player can - block, attack, cast spells, run away etc. the fact that this AI can do more actions requires more reactive tactics from the player since he needs to be prepared for a more versatile reactions from the AI.

Giant beasts - these, in many cases have a simpler AI than humans (besides dragons, that might be pretty sophisticated according to legends...) but unlike smaller creatures they are really powerful and require more careful approach. melee options are probably less recommended. these creatures are usually a change of pace for the game.

what type of enemies do u like fighting the most in these kind of games and what are u most excited to be fighting in skyrim.
Also please tell us why?

p.s. - i know i didnt include an option for "all of them in a good mix". that's because i want ppl to chose. the "mix" option would probably be the most common one since it's almost obvious.

Mudcrabs, because I like to train my abilities against equally capable foes. :toughninja:

Humanoids. Especially Dremora and Xivalaliajiaioj, as they gave the most epic battles.

a army of humans...
massive combats rules (and burn the hardware).

Huge creatures. I like big tough guys that really test my skills (and endurance), and especially the one's the go ka-BOOOOM when they fall...

Humanoids are the most fun to cripple.

Armies upon armies of humans.

personally i prefer humanoids myself. i love the type of combat that involves dodging, blocking, attaking and staying rather close. i feel that the more sophisticated the AI the more sophisticated the combat is. if all a giant is doing is running at me and slamming his hammer than it will be a lot less interesting than a couple of humanoids that attack, flank, block, cast spell etc.

dragons seem interesting but not as much as humanoids, to me. maybe because they are so powerful than most of the time i will be forced to hide from them instead of doing all the attack\block\attack\dodge thingy that i like

Humanoids. Especially the ones that can shout insults at you. So much fun to silence.

Humanoids for the useful loot.

Humanoids I suppose. Because there is no greater test for my axe-wielding Nord than a really powerful mage.

I love fighting humanoids, but more specifically bandits who try to kill me by jumping out of a bush ( ...or something) and watching them bleed as I take their possesions as they would have mine if I wasn't such a badass at fighting (...yes I am an ultra geek but if you are reading this too, don't pretend you do not think the same thing)

For arguments sake, i voted for the humanoid poll option. But fighting all three of those categories is as equally important

While fighting humans is fine and dandy, I never find it fulfilling enough to strike down someone who is usually fighting in a similar manner such as yourself. Beings that don't fight similar to humans are more thrilling to take down. I'm especially looking forward to fighting the dragons, and a steam centurion.

Mudcrabs. Everyone likes the challenges the mudcrabs give the player.

I want a creature like a Creeper to kill, and they explode, but I don't suppose anything similar will be in so giant spiders shall be fun to kill.

Creatures. As alien as possible, not lions and bears. I like my opponent to look weird, to have weird animations and strange sounds.

DRAGONS!!!! Cant bloody wait to see what they are like to fight!!

Humanoids. Draugrs specifically, really loved those in the E3 demo. They look a bit like terminators lol.

Humanoids. Fighting animals isn't as exciting because well they're animals.

Argonians.

Argonians.

Argonians.


I NEVER tire of killing Argonians :>

Either dragons just because it looks fun to fight them, or humanoids for their gear. If I have to pick one...dragons, which actually will yield gear also, forgot.

Humanoids.

Especially undead. I like the creepy undead ruins, the atmosphere and sound effects, shuffling and moaning and whatnot. Creeping along through the shadows and coming face to face with a zombie or something, great stuff. Bandits and such are cool too, undead dungeons are the bestest though.

Animals are kind of meh, mythic beasts are cool if they're difficult and dangerous.

Shouldn't giants be in the 'humanoid' category? Anywy, I love fighting the humanoids. My favorite creature to fight in OB were definitely the goblins.

Nords, and Drauger(which are just slightly more dead Nords).



Also I knew someone would post this.
