Giant Dingoes.  I cut at them with my sword, but one manages to bite my foot off.  At least I can say I brought a few down with me.

DF

It's always dingos. Or wolves. Or badgers. Maybe the occasional fox.

And usually on your way back from slaying a hill titan. :P

Fighting in the undercroft of the Chapel of Akatosh... only with a mod that adds some awesome-looking creatures and for some reason adds many intended for high-level characters to low-level spawn lists. Yeah, so me, Berich Inian, and three Imperial Legion troopers got hammered by something that took out nearly half my health in one hit, moves at ridiculous speed, and reflects damage.

Fighting in the undercroft of the Church of the Nine in Chorrol for the Dark Brotherhood quest. The zombies are massively ramped up in difficulty, even with Ruined-Tail and Vilja helping.

I got two shot with my not-particularly-squishy stealth/open combat Argonian.

A giant crab was angry that he could not walk forward, only side to side, so he cast a spell that would destroy the world in 30 seconds.  I failed to stop him in time.

I was running from house to house, getting supplies from them when I was attacked by a jumping spider. I knew that I had no chance of killing it with my flimsy pocket knife, and decided to run.

I made it all the way back to my safehouse, and quickly closed the door in the spider's face. My companion was holding the fort, as there was shells and wolf corpses on the floor. However, the idiot decided to shoot at the spider while I was in the line of fire and killed me in one shot.

Here I am, ready to go on the newly-irradiated Courier's Mile. I waltz in, crack open ED-E and dig out my Breath Mask. I constantly carry more drugs than Mexico at any given moment in time, so I pop some Rad-X and prepare to IV some of my RadAway. I walk in, start Arc Castering some of these Marked Men.  They're tougher then normal. Must be all this radiation. Things are getting tough. One's got a minigun and he's giving me trouble. I've got plenty of Stimpacks and Med-X and then a deathclaw happened to me from the side.

First multistage with rockets firing at different times-
Takeoff, good.  Jettison first stage solid fuel rockets, activate second set.  Ok, looki- SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT JETTIS- dead.  While trying to do a minor correction I spun the whole thing, the rockets started overheating, I tried to jettison, and EVEYTHING collided together.

Clearing out a zombie outbreak for Bert Renalds (sp?). Little buggers are going down easily, but when they get close enough to hit me they apparently burst into flames, which means I'm alternating between getting battered around and flailing like mad to put the fire out. Took one hit and it was all downhill from there. What I get for trying to save ammo.

Electric eels zapped the shit out of me as I tried to run away, and then I got ganked by a pack of blink frogs. Lair:3.

Crawl again.

Couldn't keep up with nutrition. Active fishing really sucks. By the time you've caught and cooked enough fish to get your hunger down to 0, you need to sleep, then you're hungry when you wake up, but you've eaten the fish from last night so you have to fish more, and by the time you've done that you need to cook it, and then when it's ready you eat it, then you need to sleep again.

Goddamnit. Shinotsa is right, that's a 'slow death'.

I've managed to finally perfect my launch vehicle, which is able to easily get me into space.  However, I am unable to succesfully superate the package from the launch vehicle, as it always goes off on some insane trajectory, an I am unable to recover until almost all my fuel is out, at which point I am then sent down to Earth, and there is some problem with the chute, killing the pilot

I...somehow slipped. Off my pony. During turn...1.

Cue my head meeting gravity firsthand through a middleman called "stone floor".
