What is Your Favorite Enemy to Face in Skyrim?

  • August 14, 2012 10:43 PM EDT

    Out of all the types of enemies you encounter in Skyrim, there must be that one enemy that you just love to fight. Whether it is because it is very easy, or because it gives you a good challenge. Share yours below, and see how you compare with the rest of the members of the Skyrim Blog. Mine has to be all the Draugr. <-----------

    I know it breaks the role paying experience but it's just so funny using unrelenting force on a goat that's on top of a high cliff/mountain.

    Other than that I like Necromancers - their minds are easy to bend and their throats easy to cut.

    Bandits are fun too, particularly getting into a really long range duel with one (Veltheim towers works well)

    But of course the best enemy is a dead enemy and by The Nine I hate Draugr!

    Bandits,bandits and ofcourse more bandits.

    why you ask? simple, nothing is better than a good old bandit fight. Well perhaps eating pancakes is better, I just love pancakes! =D

    Me I have to say..... Frost Trolls because they are so difficult and it is so satifying to unrelenting force them off the side of a mountain.

    Falmer. I have a deep hatred of them, and killing them is fun for me

    Mine has to be giants. There's nothing like the sense of acheivement you get when you kill your first giant without running away every few seconds.

    Dragons when using Deadly Dragons.  I run into so many different kinds, and I never know which one it will be and most of them come close to killing me very easily.  I think my favorite was a dragon that was able to turn invisible.  I freaked out and started running in every direction trying to find the shimmer in the air that would tell me where it was...until it landed right on top of me.

    Otherwise, I like Forsworn and Mages.

    On the other hand...I really hate bears and wolves.  They're everywhere!  And even with SkyTest they attack more often than not.

    Stormcloak soldiers! It's just so much fun to charge into a group of 'em, FUS RO DAH the crap out of them and watch them fly backwards. 

    In all seriousness though, bandits and trolls. Has anyone ever kited that one frost troll on High Hrothgar all the way to the Greybeards?

    Chaurus Reapers and Ancient Dragons. Ancient Dragons for their large health pool and good damage output, which makes for a good "Epic battle". Otherwise, Chaurus Reapes, as they are one of the only things that can actually take a good chunk of my health away.

    I enjoy the random Dark Brotherhood members who occasionally attack you. I know they're just random but I like to make a story behind them, who would hire an assassin to kill my character and why? I always turn the difficulty up when faced with one, a master assassin should be difficult to fight after all.

    I know a lot of people already said this, but dragons have to be my favorite. I love how you have to switch up your strategy to fight them, going from arrows, magic and shouts to fending it off with your sword, it just doesn't get any better, Especially when you crank the difficulty up to master. =D

    My favorite are Draugr Deathlords,  I like having an enemy who has shouts, magic, and high level weapons at their disposal, it actually feels fair to fight something that's on even terms with me, except when they attack in swarms, then it starts to get ridiculous, they like to play catch with me...
