The Weakest Enemies from The Elder Scrolls Series

The Elder Scrolls games are epic and a contributing factor to said epicness(?) is the enemies that you encounter throughout Bethesda’s lovingly crafted worlds. However, it’s not all Giants, Daedra & Dragons. There is a lighter side to the enemies of Tamriel.

Join us as we look at the Weakest Enemies from The Elder Scrolls Series.

The article missed dragons in skyrim.

Dragon encounters are leveled with the player so you're always strong enough to fight them.

I only played on master difficulty and they never seemed like much of a threat.

GuyThatPlaysGames4523d ago

True. I think I'm only a level 45 and it only takes 2-3 arrows to drop a dragon. As far as weakest goes, it's definitely mudcrab, skeever and spider.

The elder scrolls series has never been about difficulty....they have always been about exploration not putting on your try hard pants gloating about how master difficulty is not a challenge.

brish4523d ago

Umm, what?

I experienced the following playing as a pure mage on master difficulty in skyrim.

Frost trolls were practically immortal until I leveled enough to do some serious damage. It took a while before I could hurt them faster than they could heal. For the longest time seeing a frost troll meant running away.

Bandit chefs were scary things to fight at level 10. They could use a power attack and one hit kill me on master.

Saber tooth tigers were things I ran from until I was about level 20. After 20 I could kill them but if they got close I was dead.

Giants were to avoid until I was about level 30.

Falmer had archers that could kill me with a single arrow until I was about level 40! After level 40 it took two hits so I had to play very cautiously when they were around.

Dragon Priests could easy kill me at level 50. It was a serious challenge to get a mask from them on master.

Dragons, no problem!

Elder scrolls was never difficult huh? Try playing oblivion and putting it on the highest difficulty. The rats will destroy you in the opening dungeon!

They were also the most annoying.

MS could compress their games on disc

raWfodog41d ago (Edited 41d ago )

Skyrim is still my favorite ES game. I’m playing through it again right now since I never finished it.

jznrpg31d ago

Morrowind is by far my favorite. But I’m getting old and played Daggerfall Morrowind and Oblivion before Skyrim

ActualWhiteMan41d ago

Yeah totally. Definitely won’t be hacking it Nintendo 🤞🏻

Fallout and Skyrim show us that talented developers make great games when you leave them alone

That judicious lack of oversight permeated everything in Bethesda's RPGs, in a positive fashion.

I much prefer a left alone Obsidian and Larian Studios. Bethesda's formula has grown old for me.

Larian hit another level with DOS:2 and then took it even further with BG3. They do high quality work.

jznrpg69d ago (Edited 69d ago )

Skyrim was a letdown compared to previous games and so was Fallout 4

Kosic69d ago

I agree, I found it an interesting game. But nowhere near worth the hype (unless you include mods)

dmonee69d ago

Skyrim blew my mind when it released. That game took me to the gaming, promisedland. Going back to it when it was updated for the PS5, it felt slightly rough around the edges, but great for its time

TheColbertinator69d ago

We should leave Obsidian alone. Bethesda on the other hand should be kept under constant psychiatric observation.

anast68d ago

Skyrim feels like the game was made in a hurry with a disorganized team.
