Yeah, the game is designed in a way where your first encounter with a Reaper is probably going to be when you’re in a Seamoth. And you probably won’t have the electric shock module to shake the reaper off. It’s the best combo of “let the player potentially escape the attack” and “make the player feel completely powerless to fight back.” It’s also a great reminder that there is always a bigger fish, because the player usually feels pretty confident with cruising around after they build their first Seamoth.
Can’t remember which edition of Fallout it was, but my first Deathclaw encounter was almost as scary as the Reaper Leviathan. But RL still wins.

I met the Reapers long before I had a Seamoth when I played :(
Terrifying game.
