Did someone drop a radioactive bomb on Kirkwall centuries ago!? Seriously, first the dragons and now the spiders are super big! I'd hate to see deepstalkers...

That's no ordinary rabbit spider!

Go on Bors, chop its head off.

Well that tears it, my first playthrough HAS to be with a mage now. If for no other reason than to KILL IT WITH FIRE.

There was once a giganormous spider in my bathroom sink. I literally froze, I wanted to wash it down the plughole with a nearby glass but it was so HUGE that I was afraid that if I missed it, it would start running and I'd scream like a bimbo. So I quickly filled a whole bassin with water and emptied it over the spider until it slided down into the plughole, then I turned the tap on full strength for like a minute to make sure it would drown the spider or at least send it back to the sewers, the bottom of the pipe or wherever those things go. Reassured, I went back to my business. I message a friend of mine about my "courage" and she goes "did you block the plughole afterwards ?", to which I reply "haha, are you kidding, I just unleashed the forces of hell on that poor spider". We go on chatting until I forget about it.

An hour later, I go to the bathroom to get something and WTF, the huge spider was back at the SAME spot except it looked all wet, hairy and angry like a Blight Spider or something. This time I was shaking and all. I tried the same trick several times but the sink-blocking-thingy wouldn't go down all the way, and the spider managed to CRAWL underneath it (or push it up, I'm not sure) a couple of times ! By the fourth time I lost it so I went as far as washing it down the plughole again but this time with BOILING WATER ! Then I put a plastic glass above the sink all night. It didn't come back but something tells me it survived.

I am a vegetarian and love animals but spiders, that one in particular, just make me act irrationally. Maybe cause they bite, break into my house, that kind of stuff.

Well, you know what they say about the itsy, bitsy spider... 

In any case.

THIS THREAD IS ...nightmarish.

And I am so sad. Augh.

OH JESUS NO

NO THEY'RE EVEN FREAKIER AND BIGGER THAN DAO

[Kerethos]

My spontaneous reaction upon seeing that spider:
"Holy ****, that a big spider!"

Luckily we've got no dangerous spiders up here in Sweden, only a few ones with long creepy legs and a painful bite,that I normaly squish. The smaller ones I pick up and throw out. And since most spiders won't bite, unless you squeeze or scare them, I've never actually been bitten from just picking one up, you just need to let them walk up on your hand – and then you’re like any surface to them. Otherwise you can always use a piece of paper, instead of your hand. Spiders do after all kill and eat other bugs, so I try to be nice to them for keeping my house free of flies and such.

[test for echo]

Well, as someone who is absolutely terrified of spiders, this is far from good news. As if the DA:O spiders weren't scary enough...

Yeah. Sorry, arachnophobes. Dragon Age II is going to wig you out a lot.

*Shiver* Ever since NWN.. I am no longer scared of Giant spiders, and feel prepared to slay any I meet, ever!

I got some serious level ups in my anti-arachnaphobia skill, in friggin Dungeon Siege 1, there was a whole underground cave, with endless spawning waves.  *shiver*

[Kilshrek]

sonuva!
In Australia you get spiders that :
1) Have venom that kill you quite painfully
2) Have venom that make your flesh rot, OVER YEARS
3) Have unreasonably large or hairy bodies
4) Have unnatural speed

Yes, Australia, where the spiders are probably out to kill you.
At least they're not larger than a full grown man. Thank goodness for small mercies.

edit : Oh YES! And Bioware insist on bringing the camera closer to the player, the better to terrify the arachnophobes with, yesssss....... (This last bit performed a la Gollum)

That's just gross. I absolutely hate spiders, and any kind of huge bugs... why do they have to be in every game I play???

Edit:  OMG.  I just scrolled higher on this page... jesus!!!  (leaves thread)

*shudder*

If one of those jumps out at me because I was running around a dungeon and didn't notice I walked into a web (happened a lot in Origins)......well lets just say the screams will be heard for miles D:

[Silver Direwolf]

Yeah, the DA:O spiders would scare the crap out of me. Even the start as mage they'd be popping up outta no where

That's why I am now deciding to not play DA2 until they mod a character model swap of the spiders with a bunny or something else. For the Xbox. Get to work people!

Gotta find a way to keep those damn things away from me... I barely survived the section of the Deep Roads with all of the spiders in it... and now they're bigger... *Starts rocking back and forth*

The Bearspider made me laugh and sob at the same time. No... please, GOD, no.

closed it quickly but it wasn't nearly as bad as the other one.

I need to stop visiting this thread.

*sympathetic hugs* I know exactly what you mean. It's some kind of horrible masochism or something. Why can't I stop? Why? Clearly I love being cruel to myself, or maybe the fear just makes me tingly.

*is almost sobbing with sympathy* Now, that is a horror story.

I have killed spiders before if they ventured within range and were big enough. I can't kill the little baby ones, though, because they're so cute in their horrifically freakish way, but the bigger ones I can not stand. My rule is, if they stay in the corners and kill insects, then thank you Mr. Spider for being useful and helping me avoid the West Nile Virus or simply being used as a pincushion for my delicious blood. But if they are big enough, and get into the bathroom, the bedroom or anywhere near eye level, then they are inferior specimens of their species and should be eliminated, as clearly they do not have a healthy fear of humans, and reproduction would only hurt both our species and result in many more deaths down the line. Thus, splat.

Shelob's gullet.

This might sound wrong, but I find it seriously hot that he just stares that spider down like that. I would have a hell of a lot of "gratitude" kept in store for a man who murders humongous spiders for me.

It's okay, sweetie. *huggles* Fenris with slice them, Anders will roast them, and Sebastian will put arrows through their nasty little heads.

Holy crap, my friend comes round and we have a few beers and then suddenly there are about 6 more pages and a ton more horrifying pictures of scary spiders. People sure love trolling arachnophobes on this forum!

[Captain_Obvious]

No sleep for me tonight. My skin is itching and my cat just brushed my leg and I damn near fell out of my chair. I HATE spiders.

Note: I set all of my companions tactics to agressive for the spider areas, that way I can hang back like a big wuss.
