Hespith/Broodmother was creepy, but I think Branka justifying herself was even creepier. Not a hint of remorse for what she had done...

Quite true...as Hespith said, she's suffering something worse than death:betrayal.

I didn't really think any of it was creepy except for when Loghain and Howe appeared together. Seriously, what is up with those two?

[daguest]

broodmother. With what i saw, branka was dead before i meet her, she doesn't stand a chance.

The orphanage in second.

[Bootsykk]

The little cultist boy in Haven, standing outside of the house with the bloody altar.

He sings "Come, come, bonnie lynne, tell us, tell us, where you've been," a rhyme about a group of children who butchered a little girl, cut off her fingers and then buried the corpse. If you talk to him after he is done reciting the rhyme, you can pursuade him to show you what he is hiding.

He takes a finger out of his pocket, saying to not tell anyone, and that he'd just 'found it lying around'. I'd say that was even a little freakier than Hespith. It reminded me too much of the children of the corn.

Def Broodmother :S

[HoLyEmperor]

The PC.



At least how I play it.

[The Capital Gaultier]

Yeah... little boy in haven wins this round. Though, that first time through the Denerim orphanage was quite eerie.

Ser Otto: We've done it again.  I can feel the darkness receding.  I have seen the work of demon before.  Some maleficarum consort with them.  But the Maker must have guided...

Broodmother had intense buildup, but I don't think it was as creepy as the child in Haven.

Special mention though of the meeting with your first friend on a Dalish Elf run later on in game. The 'that could have been me' feeling combined with that I totally didn't expect it.

There are the obvious creepy encounters, but this is one I have to agree with.

I've done three runs now, thought I pretty much had seen everything the game had to offer other than dialogue choices for a couple origins.

Been playing through the Dalish with my girlfriend and got that encounter. She tried to hide; I pretty much had the same reaction as the quote. Totally unexpected, surprised, had that feeling of dread for a moment.

It's interesting that this seems to me like it's really the only unique encounter for the origins. I know all of them have something, but finding Fergus at the victory party, or what seems like fairly obvious encounters (after playing all the origins) for dwarves (I suppose these could still surprise me), or finding Vaughn in a dungeon don't seem to have the same impact. Eh, but thats another topic.

The Dead Trenches Broodmother section.

Seriously that's a nightmare on my first playthrough, never got over it for hours.

[BroBear Berbil]

Hespith for sure. Second creepiest thing is any conversation with Leliana in camp while wearing a weapon with a fire enchant...the lighting casts shadows on her face and her eyes look solid black...and the facial expressions she'd do *shudder*

[MusukoYo]

The dead trenches were scary, sure, and Hespith was hella creepy. But I think the mages' tower deserves at least as many nominations. I find most demons to be scarier than most darkspawn (exception: shrieks, who have a nasty habit of popping out of nowhere and gutting my squishies, and desire demons, who aren't scary so much as... mmm, pasties).

Try getting drawn into the fade, sneaking up on some of the mages trapped there, and listening in on their conversations. Makes you wonder what was going on in the tower BEFORE the sloth demon showed up... Also, both the spirit and the Burning Man forms are freaky deaky. Is that blood around the Burning Man's mouth? Ohshiiiii--.

[DeathWyrmNexus]

In the human noble origin, if you seduce the elf that is with the Howes and she gets killed, her son is in the alienage talking about "mom never came back" I gotta admit that creeped me out.

How the hell do I keep missing all these little things. *grumble* Okay, that's it. I am talking to every nitwit I see in the next playthrough. @_@

[JessicaGlenn]

I think convincing Isolde to sacrifice herself to save Cornor is pretty scary. Seriously, try that option at least once. The cutscene that occurs will make you think twice.

When I first went through the Fade it creeped the bejeezus out of me, and it didn't help that it took me two days to get through. Branka is definitely creepy, but Haven is definitely freaky. Along with the Fade, I try to get through it as fast as possible without missing anything.

Wait...the Broodmother is a dwarf??? I thought that it was just the mother of all the darkspawn, not counting the Archdemon. But now that I think about it, that can't entirely be the case if the darkspawn keep regenerating...

It means that you've only found one of many... That is what creeped me out. I only dealt with one of them.

What part is hespith?

[Tragick Flaw]

Broodmother of course. The spider boss buildup was good. I like wandering through and having all these spiders vanishing around me. Too bad it turned out to be anti-climax with a few battles between and then the boss being the rough size as every other spider.

[Handmade]

Ruck was kind of a freak out. The whole dead trench's part was a trip actually. Eamons son was kinda ****ed too.

[Palamecia]

Broodmother part

"first day they come...."

The spider buildup was damn creepy for an arachnophobe, yes. All these hissing, skittering spiders, running away from my team, undoubtedly preparing a really nasty ambush ... I was honestly expecting to run into a whole army of the damn things -- and expecting the queen to be some titanic monster. Despite what the codex says, corrupted spiders really aren't bigger than the normal giant spiders, and neither is the queen.

But since I am arachnophobic, I'm glad the queen battle wasn't actually half as bad as I feared.

So far, it's kitty. I haven't completed the game yet.

Teagan's dance creeped me out a bit too...

Ugh, total agreement on both accounts. I can't decide which was worse.

When that cat's eyes started glowing purple and it started talking, I honestly almost wet myself. Probably because I was alone and it was late at night, but, sheesh.....

To quote Alistair, "That's just too creeeepay

[Riot Inducer]

A lot of the stuff in the deep roads was pretty creepy, in fact the most creepy encounters I can think of occur there.
As a lot of people mentioned the stuff leading up to the corrupted spider queen was very unsettling, why are the giant spiders *more* disturbing when they're running away from you?  

But I think the pinnacle of creepy was the stuff leading up to the broodmother, Hespith's chant was so disturbing, it really did build up the tension to the moment you see it...

The orphanage... I don't know, I wasn't really phased by it. I think The Cradle in Thief 3 may have desensitized me to that sort of thing. Compared to The Cradle, the orphanage in DA is a walk in the park.

Yep, the Cradle in Thief 3 totally owns everything for complete creepiest ever.

[asaiasai]

As a big fan of a swift way to kill Morrigan as early as possible the most frightning moment in the game is when you walk over to Morrigan after giving her a few gifts to get her approval up, and she says how cold her tent is. While that is not so disturbing, because hell my tent is probably cold too, it is first the way she says it and second and most importantly it is the implication of how she would like you to warm up her tent. What popped into my head right after that was yelling for Sten to bring me a hot poker.

[Neriana]

I was going to say the whole Broodmother section, from Hespith's poem to the Broodmother herself to Branka's horribleness, but...



Alistair and Morrigan getting it on. Seriously YUCK. Hatesex is so not fun to watch. Especially when one of the participants is my character's boyfriend. I felt dirty.
