Alien (Fallout 3)

Aliens are creatures found aboard Mothership Zeta in 2277.

Characteristics
Hostile aliens sometimes have an inertia suppression field that acts as a shield and boosts their Damage Resistance. In combat, they tend to hang back or rush the player character if they are using melee weapons.

Alien
Regular aliens wearing the white spacesuit are the most common alien the Lone Wanderer will see aboard Mothership Zeta. They act as the standard enemy of the area and will always be hostile. Aliens have many tiers, depending on the player character's level.

† The inertia suppression fields protection depends on the level of alien using it.

Alien captain
The alien captain is the leader of the alien forces on mothership Zeta, equipped with the Captain's Sidearm.

Alien worker
Alien workers are the working force of the Mothership Zeta. Although displayed as hostile, they will never attack the player character, but will flee or cower in fear instead. Killing one results in a loss of 50 Karma. During the quest Not of This World, when the Lone Wanderer first spots them, Sally will tell the player character not to hurt them because they are harmless.

Bugs

 * Sometimes, when alien workers appear to cower in fear in front of the player, they may clip into the floor.
 * Alien workers can cause scripting issues throughout the game. The player's colleagues react differently if one is near, often disrupting scripts. Thus, for example, if there are alien workers in the observation bay area when the Lone Wanderer first enters, when Sally ports through, she may well port straight out again, without opening the doors. If scripting errors occur, it may be advisable to reload to a previous save and kill all the alien workers before trying to trigger a script. This can have a significant impact on your Karma, although a Karma loss can be avoided if another non-player character kills them, such as a friendly drone or abominations.
 * When using VATS, especially with a long VATS session, aliens with Shock Batons will constantly rush to melee distance and will be striking the player character 2 to 3 times for each 1 time the player's Gun fires. This is especially noticeable on Very Hard when fighting against Shielded Aliens. What's wrong is that the player is moving in slow motion, meaning the alien is moving two or three times faster than he should be as he scores more attacks on the player.
