Man... I wish fantasy games would just... not do spiders. For something that is a very common phobia, fantasy writers just LOVE putting it in their worlds don't they?

At least having an arachnophobia mode would be great. There are some games that have put that mode in. I just, ugh. Can't wait for the mod for Badlur's Gate 3 to be updated to work with the latest patch!

    agree, I think spiders is a lazy way writers get a fear response

    Exactly. Like I understand that it's there because it's fantasy. But like... For the visual medium could we have a "no spiders" mode? In books it's not so bad... But I don't read a lot of high fantasy novels, and luckily my partner is great and doesn't put spiders in our dnd game.

    I might have to grin and bare it to get the XP.
