The first time I played Fallout 4, I cranked the difficulty up to max.... when I encountered the first death claw, I had to turn it down several notches. Not because I died in one hit, but because I literally did not have enough bullets to kill it, even when using explosions from the near by cars.

Yeah so far my biggest issue with this game is the fact that it's so hard to come by ammunition. =.=

Wow this is awesome! o3o

Also... I was JUST about to close my browser and start playing Fallout when this caught my eye on the front page |3

Pulse mines are better against Robots, right?

I know exactly how that is. Came upon this park. So I am just exploring right?
I sneak into this shack with like 4 protectrons. I activate them and go on explorin'
bump nose to nose with this glowing legendary monster of a Deathclaw and I book.
Ran right throw the lil gaggle of robots and turn to fight. Gotta love those little moments.

Hello, that's a familiar face to see on the front page. Wow, you made this guy look so thick, and foreboding. I love the details all over 'em, especially in the eyes; looks like he's playing with his dinner, perhaps!
Great work!

"I was thoroughly dunked on"

> MY EXPERIENCE WITH HALF THE MOBS IN FALLOUT 4.

I walked into a shop and there were 'sleeping' hordes of ghouls, and when you walk in one of the robot monkeys triggers and wakes them all up. So you have 10 feral ghouls attacking you, and each can take 3 - 4 point blank shots from a sawed off shotgun and NOT DIE. :I

I got a combat rifle with extra damage against ghouls to help against 'em (it's hard to shoot anything that's sprint-diving at you, let alone ten at once tho), but it's a pity there isn't one for deathclaws, since I don't think they come under the 'animals' part of the Hunter weapons ._.

That was the other part of the problem, as soon as you see them they've already leaped across the room and are biting your ankles. I found the solution to fighting a bunch of them was shooting their leg with a 10mm pistol I found with 50% bonus limb damage. Usually only takes 1-2 shots in VATS and they just lay there until you can deal with them.

You should see the jamaican plain (village) then.

Only 3 ghouls at border of village. killed one, suddenly infinite stream of ghouls coming out of the village at you. It were... 20... 30?... ghouls... always in groups of 3 up to 4, once one grp was finished, already the next one arrived.

That's how this one was, basically. Its like each floor of the building had at least 10

YEEEE best critters in the wasteland. Though, I probably need to go about actually getting this game so I can experience The Trauma for myself :D

Whoooa... This is amazing!!!

Good Deathclaw. Nice Deathclaw. No one has to be eaten today.

Hot damn, I really love this. Your attention to detail in the scales and use of colour is phenomenal.

I made friends with a Deathclaw, or at least as close as you can be with one, by saving one of its eggs and placing it in its nest. It came right up to me and didn't even kill me!

It gives you a deathclaw gauntlet as a reward too! .u. that's my favourite quest, though I wish it were possible to see a baby deathclaw.. except I bet some people would kill it.

Allow me to respond to this with the following gif.

oh my god the jump at the end

Yeah that's how I feel about Deathclaws. I've been playing Fallout 3 and I stumbled upon the Deathclaw Sanctuary with the Deathclaw Queen. I'm not a big fan of the heavily mutated Jackson's Cameleons.

Aw you just wanna pet it and feed it treats!

Really love Deathclaws, and this drawing is great! So good looking~ <3

In your description, do you mean you encountered a Glowing Alpha Deathclaw? Is there such an enemy?

Naw, I mean the first glowing deathclaw I encountered was a legendary. Fortunately there was a horde of super mutants around to take care of it for me x_x

Huh. I've only ever seen normal Deathclaws, and so far have only battled maybe three or four few and far between. Seems a LOT of people have gotten much further in the game than I have, even though I have been playing constantly and got it only two days after release.

I'm up to level 50, so I should be getting in the stage above Glowing fairly soon.. the kicker is I haven't done much of the main story, I'm one of those who runs off into the wasteland doing everything else :Y
You're likely to encounter them as event/end-dungeon bosses, or if you head into the Glowing Sea there's a lot of them just wandering around. Good place for hunting if you can afford it.

I've gotten to level thirty just a couple hours ago I think, with six Intelligence since the start. I think a few things that are a reason for my being underleveled for my time spent playing are reluctance to use fast travel, my continued use of military fatigues and leather armor bits (aesthetic preference) and weapons such as the hunting rifle and submachine gun. (functionality preference) Despite how good I am at shooting without V.A.T.S. and staying smart in combat, I'm getting killed like crazy by almost any legendary I encounter. And, I'm only playing on normal. I think Southern Commonwealth enemies are just designed to be fought with power armor and Gatling lasers, kinda pisses me off.

Anyways... I hope this kinda off-topic ranting doesn't bother you on your drawing comments.

I don't use power armor much at all, it's too bulky for my tastes. Legendaries are there to be difficult, and Mirelurks.. hooo boy if you don't have energy weapons you're in for a bad time there. I use a legendary combat rifle which gives added damage against ghouls, as well as a plasma rifle - a fully modded plasma rifle is the most overpowered weapon I've managed to obtain (barring the big guns but those are also cumbersome), if you fight gunners in Quincy you're likely to pick one up from one of them at your level. Armor shouldnt matter too much if you use terrain to your advantage against most creatures.

Heheh, not at all. What's the point in drawing game fanart if you don't get to talk about the game around it?

My character, Frank Keegan, only uses conventional ballistic weaponry, so I think I might give his combat shotgun an armor piercing receiver, if this new advanced receiver I put on it doesn't cut it for Mirelurks.

I just recently discovered sturdy versions of leather armor that I've upgrading to and made studded. Hopefully it makes a good enough difference in combat.

I want one. I'd feed it my enemies.

Oh my, awesome detail!

so pretty x..x

Hell this is fantastic oh my god

Dang, it takes forever to kill these things!! D: Awesome pic, tho! <3

So cute

These things were a pain to kill before I learned a neat little trick. Shoot the tail.

Awesome, always loved the design of deathclaws, they have gotten significantly scarier and scalier over the years. My hardest deathclaw encounter yet was fighting the Savage Deathclaw during the Devils Due side mission. Whooped my ass, had to scum it out using bottlecap mines and rockets. Like the changes to their mechanics overall, they're definitely more intimidating and dangerous than they were in 3 and New Vegas, if they were even possible.

my favorite :3

I like :)

Oh my good golly gracious hes so pretty <3 I have never seen a deathclaw so expertly drawn great work!

you make them look majestic

Beautiful work!

Oh man. I have a Deathclaw that I need drawn of. He's a Glowing Alpha Deathclaw named Scourge.
