Worst Non-Unique Enemy In Skyrim?

I tried to save a peddler from bandits with my lowly mage, and I killed the bandits, but I hurt the peddler too, so he aggroes and I kill him, but his horse starts attacking me too. Then I sic my familiar on it and we start chasing the horse off which has a godly amount of hit points, but then it stops, turns around, kills my familiar, and starts chasing me - I'm already half dead, I can't outrun it because it's a horse, I can hardly damage it, and it wants my blood - I found some rocks and kept having to run circles around it to keep the horse from biting my head off, and I wasn't regenerating enough magicka to kill the horse before the next week...

Long story short, the only thing missing was the Benny Hill music.
 
High level Forsworn groups are among the tougher challenges in the game because Briar Hearts have among the highest level caps for mobs and after about level 25 or so one or more of the other Forsworn will be attacking you with decent destruction magic attacks while the Briarheart tanks you and the other Forsworn hack at you from the side or try to turn you into a human pin cushion with arrows from above.

Falmer are generally challenging to many players up to about level 40 or so. They start to use destruction magic too after a certain level and they, along with their pet Chauruses, are among the few mobs that use poison attacks. A lot of players have huge holes in their defense when it comes to poison damage because there are not many items that provide Resist Poison protection in the game. Many don't realize how so much damage is bleeding through their armor and magic resistance until it's too late. It's even possible to die after defeating a group of Falmer and Chaurus because many of the poison attacks are DOT attacks that are still running after the last one dies.
 
The one the gets me is the "Bandit." I hate how they are never completely replaced by higher level bandits even above 60, it is just ridiculous when they charge at you and you could one-hit them with a flick despite all their big-talk.
 
Bears or Frostbite Spiders for sure. They are a pain in the ass when you first start out, and then they just become time-consumers that give you nothing in return.
 
I've got to go with the forsworn.

In each build I have crafted, the forsworn have been a pain in my arse at lower levels. Now i can knock them over like bowling pins it's not so much of an issue, even in large numbers.
 
by worst do you mean hardest to kill? or most annoying?

hardest to kill for me(im an archer/dagger character) are mages, they just own me. also ancient dragons are rediculously hard. i've only killed one and thats cuz i had like 5 guards and lydia helping me.

the most annoying though have to be dragons, blood dragons, fire dragons, and frost dragons. once you hit level 25 these things are fairly easy to kill, they arent much of a challenge, they just take a while to kill though. its not that they are hard, they dont do much damage to you, they just have a lot of health and take a while to kill. they are boring and a hassle.
 
I hate the higher level draugr. Going to explore a tomb, then I'm fighting two or three Scourges, or Deathlords. What the hell? One is easy enough, but two or three sucks, I'm dumb enough to never carry potions, so its always run and heal.
 
I hate when those Ancient Dragons always show up when your doing a Main quest or after you have all the materials to make some epic gear then he bites your head off.. :-( ya, too lazy to fight them all the time
 
I detest falmers, not got disarm yet and they are okay on their own but with four coming at me I admitted defeatin the ruins, after numerous attempts.... Will wait until I'm a bit higher level. And I found out they are blind, feel even more useless now! Glad to see they are muchly hated on here!
 
On my first character, I was about to murder somebody in the dwarven ruins. The damn rolly ones from like star wars were just killing me. Not as bad on my newer characters, but still annoying

Also, if another mudaf***in forsworn, falmer, or any other random ass kills me in one f***ing shot from a bow or spell as I'm one shotting and surviving attacks from 10 of their friends, I'm going to shoot the game in the face. Honestly. If I can take down 10 of your friends no problem, why in the hell are you so damn powerful.

It's REALLY annoying when that happens, There''s a huge range of levels in diff falmer types, so you never know what you're going to get!
 
Personally I am annoyed at Dragons who refuse to land and let me chop off their heads. Flying, hovering, blowing that terrible breath at me that sticks....ugh. Recently decided any draugr with Unrelenting Force at the top of a staircase, (since I apparently break my neck rolling down the staircase) is also a no-no. Also running berserk at a draugr, Ebony Greatsword held high, only to find that he shouted at me and I dropped my sword and now have to find it on the floor before bequeathing upon him a well deserved smiting......

But for the ultimate #1 Hated Random Enemy of The Game Award goes to.......Mages! Lost more good lives to being one shotted by magic that I actually decided to make a 2nd char whose dedication to stealthy assassinations of magic users really just makes me smile =) Having a racial resistance to frost with lightning/fire/magic resist equipment just makes it that much easier to murder mages......
 
I love sneaking through dwemer ruins and picking falmer off one by one. With a good sneak and some luck they will walk right past you making it easy to get the death shot in.

i know what you mean. some falmers i one hit with a good sword or bow and it takes them 10+ hits to kill me, some are 2-4 hits which is fine and they kill me in around 8, and then some of them take like 7 hits to kill and kill me in 1-2 hits. falmers are just unpredictable.
