Yeah, like. My 5-END sniper with mid-tier armor can tank a hit from a deathclaw. It's not like their locations aren't heavily telegraphed, either. The only place that gave me trouble was the interior space at that one quarry, since there weren't good places to set up landmine paths or climb up out of reach... so I just lured them outside, jumped off the catwalk, and there ya go.

Decided to see what is the most damaging creature in both 3 and NV for fun. In short, the alpha male deathclaw is by far the hardest hitter.

Well, actually...

Well, looks like I was wrong. I checked the legendary cazador and it had a lower attack, so I incorrectly assumed it was the same for the bloatfly. Still, it's actually amusing that the strongest enemy in the game is a giant fly.

Heh, I like the dropped items list.  Interactive storytelling.

Sort of. It doesn't have the ability to chain you to death.

You mean that deathclaws knockdown?  I don't remember that, but then again I mostly played as a frail geek and a tough-as-nails Legion bitch, also drunk.

It doesn't need to. It has a ranged attack, so you can't kite it.

You fight the Legendary Bloatfly in a spot with plenty of cover littered all over the place. Intentionally so because that is essentially a boss.

It is why I said that there are enemies tougher and harder then the Deathclaw.

Yet even then its attack is more reasonable then the Deathclaw in spite its damage output.

[Rolan7]

Yeah I don't even remember fighting the legendary bloatfly, but fighting a ranged enemy with cover is easy compared to a deathclaw.
With a deathclaw, everything suddenly comes down to your DPS.
If your damage and armor is high enough you *might* get an extra attack.

That's why YCS/186 is your friend.

The Legendary Bloatfly is completely optional and out of your way in Old World Blues and the reward isn't worth your time (as it just amounts to being the master of killing bloatflies)

[Rolan7]

I wasn't sure, but I thought it was like that.
I'm fine missing that fight, bloatflies are easy XP.

Cazadors on the other hand.  Oh man.  I wish the Big Empty did *more* to combat those fuckin atrocities.
...
though from a gameplay perspective, I welcome the challenge.

AAAAAH FUCKING CAZADORS DIE DIE DIE DIE

[Flying Dice]

I'm not ashamed to admit that cazadors are the one thing where I still use VATS instead of bullettime.

[Wimopy]

Damn cazadores. Can't fight them in melee because theu WILL poison you. I usually use an automatic or a fast semi-auto to fight them. One of the few enemies I'm willing to use grenades/explosives (not mines, I mean rockets) on.

Hell, I even punch radscorpions at higher levels, since they are slower and actually stagger. Cazadores just instantly poison you if they get close, so even if I can oneshot them it still hurts.
