Post an enemy that made you reach for the quicksave button

I never even tried to fight the dragons. I just figured it was impossible.



In any game, ever:

I am a real man, I only save right before I stop playing, and usually not even then. Autosaves? Quick saves? No thanks. Those are for pansies.
 
Notice I said "reach for...." and not "press".

Seriously though - I never use the quicksave button, because I never even know which one it is. I always got to the menu and do a regular save like a proper gaming Francis.

No one busted me for posting a game that doesn't have a quicksave button?

And, for good measure:

It wasn't a reflex nor have I done that often, but I was certainly tempted to save whenever I heard Bloodsuckers in STALKER. If I saw one before I could hear it then it was usually too late to save, and I had to get rid of the thing. In the vanilla game it's not much of a problem (the first playthrough, however, was another story) since they're pretty much all scripted and spawn at the same places. But with mods that tweak the spawn points and allow them to roam more freely, and during night time, yeah then it's very tempting.
 
I don't think I ever reached for "quick save" or "sceenshot" so fast.

And YES, she most certainly was an enemy as I spent all my bullets thinking I would get an achievement for doing so....



That not going to be allowed

Hmmm.....

I know they're not real, and they are scary, but don't you think at least a NSFW warning would be better?
