This is something that I don’t see a lot of people talking about on youtube. What makes Fallout, well...Fallout is the creatures. They’re reflective of the grim post nuke world. For me I’d have to say Nightstalkers, and Gatorclaws.

i really liked those spore creatures from Vault 22 in New Vegas. Always liked the Mirelurks too.

I really loved the mirelurk models and variants in FO4. I think creature models are the only good thing about that game. X’D

FLOATERS!



Seriously, what the f*ck is this thing? One of the creepiest bastards in the original Fallout that's what!

Centaurs are pretty creepy as well (both the Fallout and Fallout 3 versions) I'm generally a big fan of any creature FEV-related.

Wow. That floater thing is no joke. Looks like it’d drag you down underwater and rip your stomach out

I'd have to say that the most interesting to me is the intelligent deathclaws. Now,I haven't played the original Fallout games,so everything I know about them is from the wiki or references. I only know about them because of the Nuka Break fan-made short films when they showed Goris,one of said intelligent deathclaws from FO2.

I’d have to agree. Alchestvreach has a mod play through going on currently that has to do with intelligent deathclaws created by the enclave. I’m really loving it

Deathclaw. Easy.

Whats not to like? The perfect killing machine.

Also, it doesn't look like a wrinkled skin bag (molerat) and can do more than nibble your boot.

I was going to say the same thing. I always found deathclaws cool and their design oddly charming in a way, it's a shame that their speaking cousins are probably never going to see the light of day in a newer Fallout game since they're so specific to that one specific area in Fallout 2. But hey if Super Mutants can suddenly find themselves all the way in DC and the Commonwealth maybe Bethesda will find some way to ass pull them into another game.

@Xultrum
Which mod playthrough is that one? I'd be curious to check it out myself.

I love the original deathclaw designs, they look so much more intimidating than what Bethesda ever did. The newer versions always came off to me as way too skinny. I also feel like the original designs look much more organic, whereas the newer ones tend to contrast with the game world and artstyle.



I think this happened because Bethesda based the designs off of the ending slides of Fallout, which showed a malnourished, decaying deathclaw, as opposed to a fully grown bulky one.The deathclaw shown in the ending looks suspiciously similar similar to the ones in 3/New Vegas, and so I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case.


I think it's really too bad that it happened, cause the original designs are so much cooler in my opinion.

I really loved my conversation with the intelligent Spore Plant.

Feral ghouls, they're my favorite enemy out of all them. They can be creepy, dangerous, and extremely entertaining, especially in Fallout 4. I often find myself looking through a scope at a few of them and just watching them while giving them stupid voices. Seriously I can spend a good amount of time pretending their having a very dumb conversation before I blow one's head off.

I've always found the ghost people from dead money to be intriguing and at times utterly terrifying.
Centaurs are also a firm favourite. You have to wonder what went so horrendously wrong to produce such a monstrosity.

Feral ghouls for me. I grew up playing way more Resident Evil then I should've, so I have a soft spot for zombie like creatures.

I enjoy all of the deathclaw designs in all the games including the classic one but I do wish there was some more variation as to the type of deathclaw you saw (although you can honestly say that about most creatures in Fallout). New Vegas was probably the best with the different tiers of deathclaw all having a unique look depending on the age but even still they were a little samey. I'd love to see some more beefed up classic deathclaws along side the newer ones personality. I'm very glad they didn't have them be so malnutrition thin all the time in Fallout 4 at least.

Trogs, Spore Carriers, and Tunnelers.

What they have common? Scared the living soul out of you especially Spore Carriers and Tunnelers since Spore Carriers have the habit of sleeping in the patches of plants inside Vault 22(hence why I carry anything flame base or explosives to flush them out) and Tunnelers having the habit of popping out anywhere especially if the area is dark.

Also Ferals and all their variants. Always caught me off guard when I first went into the metro tunnels in Fallout 3 hence I had to carry a shotgun for headshots.

And of course, everybody's two favourite nightmares, Deathclaws and Cazadores. Both will ruin your day if you're not prepared. Mostly deathclaws if undetected are fascinating to watch like seeing them stretching, biting their claws, or scratching their claws.

RE:
For ghouls, I liked to use landmines, explosives, and sniper rifle.... unless of course you're playing in a community made underground filled with the f&ckers, in which case you may or may not have chemical nerve gas dispersement cylinders (Nerve gas grenades, functional gas mask & NBC suit sold separately...).

Ah, yes the ghouls. I remember being slightly freaked out when first playing Fallout 3, thinking "what the fu*k is that?", while they were screaming.

I quickly learned that Bethesda likes bullet sponges and disregard for the power of fire.

(Angry about seriously underpowered flamethrowers). Flamethrowers should have been so much better... then it gets to the point in Fallout 4 where you cannot stop leveling up. You cannot reset your level, you cannot really (you can, but..) reset exp gain to be 0%. Then you end up level 126 or 130. Need that level cap back.

Back on subject,

Ghost people I thought were interesting.

Still top creature is Deathclaw.
....or to a lesser extent the gatorclaw, maybe the santaclaw?

My favorite creatures are the hellish spawn that happens when the bodies rubberband and stretch out in a creepy manner. I love it. And yet, I hate it. It gives me nightmares.

Also, I modded up ghouls in FO4 to be 1 hits....such a great challenge. Loving ghouls.
