I'm looking forward to playing this game but them fucking spiders are going to make me wince.

Yeah I'm arachnophobic, but I always feel sort of bad when I kill them, which is problematic because I live in a country renowned for tiny 8 legged creatures that can kill you. At least in games I can get even with those bastards without irrational guilt trips.

I came across them yeah, goosebumps all over my skin.
 
Then I fucking murdered them. It felt good.

That son bitch is hairy!

I hate spiders, but seeing them in movies or video games doesn't really bother me.

This. Plus huge ones like that can't crawl under your desk and climb up your leg and oh god I need to check something...

I can't watch real spiders that are on TV or in movies. When I obviously know a spider is fake like in Skyrim or like Shelob in Lord Of The Rings I am fine. Kind of weird. I know.

i'm not, but those things still give me the creeps

Yeah, I'm totally arachnophobic. I'll be fine as long as I don't look at the eyes. Fuckin creepy spider eyes are the worst.

I'd rather have a horde of Mudcrabs than those!

I'd deadly afraid of whales.

You heard me. Whales.

I have no feelings towards spiders one way or another, but that may have to do with there not being any spiders that can actually kill you where I live.

I was super cautious scrolling down this forum became I was thinking that some jerk would put up a picture of a real-life spider.

Yes, I'm arachnophobic.

I'd deadly afraid of whales.

No.

Yes I do not like spiders, at all. I do understand they are important to the circle of life but so help me if they touch me...

I fucking hate spiders, also, and I get the creeps even when they appear in film and games. Still, I'll play that game anyway. I remember the spiders in Dark Messiah, damn, they REALLY gave me the creeps. Ugh. Worst case of spiders in a video game, ever.

Same. It's like the Spider Uncanny Valley where it looks real at first glance but my brain can tell something's not quite right.

I have SEVERE arachnophobia. Like, if I allowed myself I could vomit when I get too close to a large spider (for real!)

Thankfully my brain knows that the screenshot is "just a video game" but I get a twinge of nausea nonetheless.

@Sooty: Nice "comic" by the way! :D

I'm okay with giant spiders in video games, but giant bugs freak me out. Fallout radroaches were the worst...giving me the willies.

Spider with a health bar?.....game is set in Australia I guess.

Wha-what? What does that mean?

Nope, I actually like spiders :)

I'm extremely arachnophobic, and I hate it. I can't stand any form of spider within 10 feet of me.

SPIDERS. WITH HEALTH BARS.

I really don't like bugs (I know, spiders not bugs, etc), in that I don't like them being near me and potentially crawling over me, not so much when I'm asleep as when I'm awake. I sometimes wonder whether my aversion to bugs is a phobia even though it's not really crippling. If the test of a phobia is whether the image of a bug on a screen causes me discomfort, then I am not arachnophobic.

I hear the average person swallows 4 spiders a year while they sleep.

Perspective is a bitch.

THAT CAN'T BE REAL!

...can it?

@Chemin: I HATED THOSE FUCKING SPIDERS!

They were the reason I never finished the game. ;(

Yeah, Im not looking forward to that bit at all, I'll get through it. But very twitchy and gossebumpy.

Wow, that's a BIG spidey. For me though, nothing will compare to the HORROR of the Giant Spiders in Daggerfall. They looked nasty, sounded MUCH WORSE, and were VERY likely to paralyze your character and then slowly "eat" them until they were finally allowed to die. Oh, oh... and then there were the Giant Scorpions... eeauughhh... that NOISE they made. Same deal otherwise, though.

Now just imagine if Bethesda had the sadism to allow the spidey in Skyrim to string your character up in webs, hang them up somewhere, and then take their time eating them in a nasty but detailed third person animation!

I can just imagine swimming in the middle of the ocean (for some reason), and see this absolutely huge shadow towering up beneath you in the water. I swear I'd pass out from fear if that ever happened in real life, even if whales don't exactly eat or attack humans.

Spiders are scary, but that just means I'll kill them that much faster, right?

That why i always loved elder scrolls becouse there was no spiders but now.............damn it Todd Howard!!

Sweet Jesus. Just... Gah. I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

I don't typically play magic focused characters in TES games, but I am going to level destruction in skyrim for the sole purpose of wasting these monstrosities with copious amounts of fire.

@bonorbitz: Excellent quote.

Real spiders freak me out. Fictional ones not so much.

You know what else would appear as a gigantic shadow beneath you AND bite you in half? Great whites. This is why sharks are far more terrifying than whales.

And orcas have been known to attack and kill humans.

@TobbRobb: Yeah, they really were the worst. Hairy, fast, crawling on every surface. Some big, some small. Extremely creepy locations too, of course. And those sounds. Yuck! One of the worst creepy-crawly sensations I've had in a game, ever. I barely made it past, and they kept coming back from time to time throughout the game. Sometimes just one spider lurking in a room you entered, hanging around, waiting. It kept me on my toes the whole fucking time, even when there was no indication of spider territory.

oh god reddit is spreading kill it kill it!

I do not like arachnids. In any shape or form.

I hate spiders, they freak me right the fuck out. The times Ive read lotr Ive almost shit my pants during Shelob. I havnt seen the scenes with the Shelob in the movie. I got goosebumps when fighting the hairy fuckers in WoW. I read this thread with my hand over the screen as I knew someone would post spider images. I will learn myself to mod Skyrim in order to switch that motherfucking spider to basically anything.

I am phobic.

I hope John Goodman is in this game too. Gonna need some extermination.

I have nothing against them, they usually leave me in peace.

The giant ones wont bother me in skyrim, its the small-dog sized ones that give me the willies.

I can handle fake video game spiders. But if I see a real spider in my vicinity, I lose it.
