Since there is going to be a great number of caves, what if there random noises and animal, bandits and demons to jump out and scare you! Or if at the start of a boss battle a demon or a blood mage comes out of no ware! I mean this could have potential! Making every cave, deep road or ruin an adrenaline rush lol
I mean all of a sudden your talking to your companions, and then BAM! lol
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm. 
I definitely wouldn't want Dragon Age to become some kind of pseudo jump-scare horror game. I don't want to be on edge all the time. However I think some strategically placed, far and few between, scares would be fun.

Not regularily. If I want a jump-scare game, I'll install Dead Space again.
But I wouldn't mind one or two dungeons with such stuff, say an excursion into the Deep Roads with Deep Stalkers, Spiders and Darkspawn jumping out at times, or retaking an old haunted fortress where the Veil is thin (or broken) with ghostly appearances and demon surprise attacks.
That would be nice but the problem is that after you play the game once then it will nor be a surprise so it would become boring.
If they could randomise the surprises so they change when they appear and the place it happens it would be better.
Yea randomizing would be good!

Yea now that I think about it maybe here and there and not every cave or ruin.

Yea, i guess I got carried away but yea here and there and where the veil is torn would be pretty cool!
I really hate when stuff jumps out in movies and games. I scare easily, lol, which is why I avoid horror games (they're not fun for me ). I wouldn't mind, though, if it adds to the atmosphere.
No thank you; ninja spiders in the first two games have been more than enough for me.
If I wanted to play something that scares the animal crackers out of me, I'd play Dead Money or Lonesome Road for Fallout New Vegas.

I think one of the devs mentioned that you could open a crate and get attacked by Surprise Spiders.

my poor arachnophobic heart is cryng 
joke aside, I'm ok with a few jumpscare (I alway jump in the deep roads when I hear the spiders hiss...and than appear!) but with moderation: I prefer scares from the story (like the broodmothers) than from the "booo!" 
FYI i don't handle fright well. Like the guy below.

^Good reflexes! You see the stance immediately after the punch? Speaking of which, the latter must have been beefy if the other guy goes down like that. That's Ghetto-Powah right thar, bro!
Oh dear. I don't like being startled.

Australia is for those who have no fear. Conversely, it might have been created by Satan.

Australia ain't half so bad. In fact, with this oh so beautiful and understanding society we life in, a short life is as good as any other life. And whilst you can get eaten by a shark, by a Dingo, a crocodile, poisoned by snakes, spiders, reptiles, trees, flies, mosquitos, jellyfish, stingrays, normal fish, barkeepers and are blessed with an ever vigilant morality committee that filters improper content from games that might have manipulated you, you can meet either one (or several) of those deaths by doing pleasant things, like surfing, making an outback safari, strolling in the park on a sunny day, taking a good crap, swimming in your pool, having steaming intercourse, drinking at a club with hot women/men and watch/play australian football and rugby.

Oh yea I forgot, that sounds interesting! I can just imagine it too, Oh look a chest no "POISONOUS SPIDER OF DOOM" !

IDK about that. There was a movie I was watching recently that I had seen before which had a jump scare in it. And when it came to that part I kept reminding myself it was there and it still got me.

Despite the inevitable stereotyping about being a hardass wannabe and all that, but why do people have such irrational issues with spiders?
Statistically speaking pretty much everything is more deadly than spiders so it can't be just self preservation instincts and neither do I understand how they could appear frightening or whatever to people, nor do they appear to be outragiously intimidating or ugly/whatever in their natural state of ... spider mind.
Hell, I have a healthy respect and I wouldn't touch a Sydney Funnelweb spider with a ten foot pole (mostly because I know the thing would remember my face and stalk me for the rest of my life like in some of those cheap horror flicks!), but your everyday RPG spider doesn't look like a hardass Sydney Funnelweb spider, they look like Tarantules and those spiders are about as docile as it gets. Hell, I even had one crawling on my hand once (lost a bet) and more than anything, it tickled.

Why did I google "Sydney Funnelweb spider" just now?
I mean, I enjoy being able to sleep, so why did I do that to myself?

There's a reason I used it as example. I could dig up some more stuff if you fear to go to bed, can scare the sleep right off ya if you want.

I have no doubt that Australia is a great place, but I also have no doubt that funnel-web spiders watch everyone from the shadows 
As for arachnophobia, I don't really have a terrible fear of most spiders, but anything along the lines of tarantula or just about anything venomous would probably give me the willies.
