Skeletons, because technically the vast majority of enemy mobs has one in them.

That skeleton is probably the reason why they're evil, it's wearing them like a flesh suit to protect itself and fighting you back.
That's why most enemies ragdoll when killed and can bend in strange ways.
The evil skeleton inside is gone.

That's retarded. "I yield" is "I give up", but instead they'll throw their lives away like retards. It makes no sense.

>>342483572
They don't stop attacking is the thing. It's completely pointless. They're still hostile, and WILL attack you. They won't lay down their arms and get down on the ground or some shit.

Well yeah it'd be silly to have a muh emotional backstory to everyone. Wouldn't work. But every single NPC no matter what wanting to fight to the death and never, ever genuinely means to surrender is bullshit. It's laziness on Bethesda's part.

Enemy Variety is something that modern vidya is sorely, sorely lacking in.

One of the big things to extending a game's longevity is to throw new challenges at the player. "more humans with longer healthbars" does not constitute a new challenge

No idea why you guys are implying games before were a rich banquet of enemy variety. The Witcher series has a consistent, huge variety of enemies, 3 being tremendous in this area.

I can think of a tons of games with rats or wolves as enemies.

>>342486403
I've never played Witcher, but:

>'90s shooters e a s i l y have modern shooters beat in enemy variety. Games like Wolfenstein, DOOM, Quake and the like have 10+ unique regularly occurring enemy types, most modern shooters like sticking to human-likes or zombies with occasional big tank-like guys.
>One of my main complaints going from Oblivion to Skyrim was that it was always spiders, draugr, bandits, and skeletons. I could never find anything else.

I think this is because their health regenerates above the yield threshold.

Come to think of it I haven't seen a lot of minotaurs in games. Dark Souls has taurus demon, Dragon's Dogma has eliminators, I can't really remember any others aside from old CRPGs. We need more minotaurs.

They should make them revive if you don't burn the corpse.
