Least favorite enemy?

[Thranduil]

I rediscovered how evil the Vulcan Cannon drones are this morning. Anybody got a drone they dislike greatly?

[Soot Leopard]

Hehe... same one.
Wait till you get (back) to map 22 or 24... then they start to come in another form :P

Im pretty certain most people are going to say those driller bots, and I would have to agree. Their hitscan is super annoying. A homing missile takes them out though, so if you know they are there, you can kill them without exposing yourself.

[Soot Leopard]

Unless they're cloaked :D

[D3matt]

Yeah, I've gotta saying the Heavy Drillers (The vulcan cannon bots). They scared the crap out of me, and they still do :P The cloaked lifters (the claw bots) are rather frightening too, but they're not nearly as deadly. And a cloaked driller? God help you.

I think the red enemies that shoot rockets are the most annoying.
* They are very common
* They have a lot of HP
* They deal a LOT of damage when they hit you
* The rockets the fire are homing, and so accurate that the only realistic way of dodging them is to try to go hide behind something... which also isn't always enough

[PigmyRhino]

hands down, it has to be the Vulcan Drillers

If we were including D2, the thief takes this no contest at all.
In D1 I would say the heavy hulk is the most painful to deal with because of the homing missile spam - there aren't always "safe" ways to kill it. Class 1 drillers can be bad if they get the jump on you, but they're almost no threat if they don't, so they don't get my vote.

Vulcan drillers, close second being the red heat seaker drones.

Homer bots on every level in D1 is the main reason I like D2 a little better.

I was coming on here to say exactly that. Figures you'd be the one to beat me to it.

You know I never did play 2, though I look forward to when that and 3 hopefully get released on Steam.

I think the "least favourite" vs "favourite" enemy thing gets a little confusing when you start building your own singleplayer maps though.
Cause fear is a huge emotion and in games like Descent you want to be able to evoke that in your players. Without turning it into frustration though.

Yeah, the vulcan bots are my least favorite ones too (especially the cloaked ones), hitscan enemies that does a decent amount of damage from a distance aren't particularly fun, you pretty much have to memorize their placements in order to avoid taking damage from them.
My favorites are the Medium Lifters though, they are like cuddly little kittens.

They're squishy and sweet like cake. http://www.tomandcatherine.com/liftercake.jpg
