We have daggers that do more damage against humans, a maul that does extra damage against qunari, we have Fadeshear in all it's overpowered extra damage against demons and undead glory.

WHERE ARE OUR ANTI-SPIDER WEAPONS BIOWARE?!

I was just thinking while palying those parts how arachnophobes would be traumatised by the massive boss spiders lol.

I think I saw a mod that removed the spiders btw.

@Topic: I found the spiders in Dark Messiah Might & Magic far more disturbing. I mean at least a spider the size of a bus you can always see coming. I'm more disgusted by the small ones running on my wall and then hiding themselfes when I try to catch them. Then I know it's somewhere, but cannot reach it. I hate that!

Spiders I don't mind. Scorpions are another matter entirely though. But I don't mind them in a game really.

Just imagine if DA2 worked on a 3D TV, it would be epic.

I was just going to create a topic on this...
That first one, in the Deep Roads nearly killed me. I thought it was another one, spawning behind me, but no. It was big. And in front. My new strategy, now that I know where they all spawn (mostly), is to have Fenris or Aveline or SOMEBODY run forward and spawn them while my PC hides in the next room. I jump every time they spawn, with that grotesque hiss and the drop from the ceiling/sky/whatever. When I talked to the guy at the Bone Pit and he said it needed clearing out, I thought "no big deal". He then said spiders. I'm still putting that quest off.

eh my bro had a spiders nest 'thing' in his house.

I'm a pretty big arachnophobe probably my most freaky moment I remember, was once crushing a big huntsman trying to get in through the car window while I was driving, by putting the power windows up! I caught him halfway in and the window crushed the bastard in half, making a pretty disgusting crunching sound, before a bunch of fluids proceeded to run down my passenger side window lol.

Anyway as for DA2, the thing that disturbs me the most about the Monstrous Spiders is definitely their death animation and the way they curl up and just lay there... Really freaks me out, thankgod Bioware didn't include any after death twitches. I would literally scream like a little girl if my character was passing by the body and all of a sudden a leg started moving....

 Yup. Only time I got chills from dungeon crawling in a video game was from Dark Messiah's spiders.

Well, with the new rigid class system who would get the shoe specialization? Rogues or warriors?

[matiwariat]

hmh, maybe patch in a tick box for the people with phobia which would change the spiders to bears or other monsters, i dont have the problem with them onscreen but i get what ye feel

A hundred of those things attacking the characters would be extremely creepy, unlike the cuddly big spiders.

Indeed, I find most fantasy spiders, BioWare's included, too big to be frightening. What fear of spiders I have is dependent on them hitting a certain sweet spot in size. Giant Shelob-style spiders just don't do it.

[reddragon567]

I jsut linked a mod to get rid of all the spiders guys.

It's dragons in that quest.

I am more disturbed by the two pictures in this thread than the spiders in dragon age. That's not to say I didn't find the monstrous spiders unnerving.

[Braag]

I'm also an arachnophobe. It used to be much more intense than it is now however. I remember not being able to play Oblivion because of those spider deadra or Half Life 2 because of those poison headcrabs that reminded me too much of spiders, even the kikimores in The Witcher creeped me out because they slightly resembled a spider. I seriously got chills and started to sweat whenever I encountered a spider in game. But over time I forced myself through these games... I remember fighting against an enourmous spider in Lost Planet while closing my eyes at times because I simply couldn't stand the sight of it anymore and was about to freakout.
I guess over time, after all the sweat and fear spiders just don't scare me as much as they used to anymore.
I was able to cut through those monstrous spiders without a flinch in DA2.
However If I encountered a large spider like the one deathstride posted IRL, I would run like hell and never look back.

I close my eyes and hope my team can take it out without me. I have a large HDTV, so the spiders are very large and very HD. I don't even like walking up to them to pick up the loot after they're dead.

I closed my eyes whenever I had to fight them. When I saw the monstrous spider for the first time I turn the game on casual, muted my TV so I couldn't hear those sounds it made and just mashed the attack button until I killed it.

I also have a decent HDTV, and the spiders look horrifying and realistic on it.

For whatever reason, Bioware seems to
render and animate them especially well, too. I've said "gross" out
loud more than once.

QFT.

Personally I feel 'Big Spiders' are a
fantasy game cliche that needs to die. Its like some unspoken rule that
every game must have them.

I made a topic a few days ago asking BioWare not to include giant spiders next game lol.

I also hate how it seems to take forever for the spider's corpses to disappear so you can loot them. Especially the monstrous spider in the Deep Roads... for some reason it's corpse never disappeared. I ending up not even looting it because I was so scared. In case it was obvious already, I'm a big arachnophobe lol.

[Tony_Knightcrawler]

Monstrous Spiders aren't too bad. They can't get through any tight spaces. So just get in a corner, sit back, and enjoy the free EXP. B-) I'm actually thinking of making a YouTube video of Aveline poking one to death while all the party members growl angrily since they're on Hold. Now Wasp Spiders... those are nasty buggers.

Can we have some ants next time? Oooo! Or better yet! Scorpions! That'd be awesome! We need scorpion DLC nao, Chris!

I lol'd. mostly at that second picture. Now im not scared of spiders at all really, but when i first saw the Giant one it kinda same out of nowhere. Needless to say it a got a gah What the hell!! from me, but after the first time it wasn't so bad

[Rm80]

well I have never been scared by a spider in my whole life but thoose damn Dragon age spiders and the freaking sound they make when they drop down from the celling.....it is freaking scary, please remove them all future bioware products

[MColes]

If giant spiders ever attack, based on my vast experience killing them, I think I'll be just fine. Much like zombies.

[TcheQ]

I'm not an arachnophobe, and I was scared

Ok that made me laugh. Mana bars on spiders? I need a flamethrower and a very fast car.......

I'm a partial arachnophobe, and I have to say that the spiders don't really creep me out. What freaks me out are the ones with the really long legs that are thankfully absent in BioWare games. I really hope this post is not read by an employee there with wicked sense of humor.

Among other things, Kirkwall and the surrounding area is infested with abnormally large spiders.

I'm assuming at some DLC, we'll finally kill whatever giant spider mother coughLolthcough is spawning these things.

Oooh oooh, A High Dragon sized Mama Spider boss for the DLC, it could even have smaller spiders hatching from an egg sack on its back! Bioware do eeeeeet!

Oh thats an awesome idea, the Mama spider could have an ability like the insect swarm spell from DA:O but instead it would tons of little spiders crawling over the character doing nature damage. BRILLIANT!

Well, I guess the animation team now knows what to add to the next game, HA!

[inSPECTRE Shepard_]

I have an extreme case of aracnaphobia, but I didn't find the the monstrous spiders too bad. Mostl because what I can't stand about spiders is that slow walk they do where each leg slowly moves forward, in this game their legs move very quickly, which reminds me more of a bug than an arachnid.

However one time the monstrous spider got slowed down either from a spell or position between walls) and it started to slowly walk towards me, those giant long legs purposefull moving in my direction one at a time.... that really creeped me out.

I bloody hate spiders!
