Seriously i've seen over nine thousand ( LOL ) articles about werewolves, and guess what? There is a major possiblility
that they are in the game. but enough about them im here to talk about a new enemy? and guess what they are? thats
right Giant Spoiders!

I wanna know how they will fight and if they use next gen tactics!
Give me all your ideas on how these massive Spoiders will fight ya! and how you plan to fight them!

I plan to always have a torch when adventuring in caves. Those sneaky bastards will just stay hidden upside down on a dark corner of the ceiling and will try to silently jump in my head. If they are done as said in the magazines, the spider encounters will be the most memorable except the dragons. Those hairy things will scare the [censored] out of me, I can tell!

Said this in one of the Arachnophobia threads : ADnD had large, huge, giant, and phase spiders. The phase spiders would hide in the ethereal plane until their fangs were an inch from you back, then phase into reality. Now that is a proper monster.
Not usually found in TES, but I would hope they have a nasty natural damage over time poison, and if Skyrim has blurred vision like New Vegas, we have a real threat.
Also would be nice if they have some kind of web attack, even if it's a simple slowing effect.

I hope that there is a unique kill animation for the spiders. Something like jumping on top of them, plunging your dagger into them and trying to hold on while they try to buck you off sounds perfect to me.

nuff said :shocking:

I don't have an irrational fear of spiders, but if I found that in my house, I'd move out.

I think that won't happen too often, my blind guess is spiders will usually attack you from ground like any other creature. I remember the mag said that spider dropping from a ceiling was some kind of a "spider boss", I guess bosses of all creatures have some particular animations to make them more interesting and maybe difficult.

Yes, spiders have been covered a million times too. Or at least how scared everyone is of them.

Yeah, and I'm going to need to become less scared of them. I'm not missing out on Skyrim over spiders.

Although these ones look set to only frighten me in the event of constantly jumping off of ceilings and walls.

Of course, if our characters can become werewolves, we'll then see mighty werewolf vs giant spider battles. And that's [one of the many reasons] why I love TES games.

True, most of the threads about them seem to be people with arachnophobia complaining about them.

For me, since I don't have it, spiders don't really do much for me. I see spiders often even in my own house, and as long as they're not dangerous (Which the ones we get here usually aren't.) and don't go crawling on me, I just leave them be. I mean, if I saw a spider the size of a person in my house, I'd get scared, but so would I if I had a troll or Dremora in my house. In Skyrim, expect spiders to be just another enemy to fight, nothing more or less, we've seen them many times before in other games and I don't really see Bethesda doing anything with them that I haven't seen elsewhere.

I love arachnids, so I love that spiders are back. Though I'd love if scorpions made a return too.

I am fine about the spider,...and it's not that, that's gona scare me.



I bet someone is gona make a mod to change spiders into "Clown-Spiders" (For me, it would be hilarious!).

if they're anything like Daggerfall's spiders theyre gonna be a pain in the ass with the constant paralysing going on.

how AWESOME will it be to get trapped in a giant web and have to cut your way out.

You know why there are more threads on werewolves than Giant Spiders? It's because we can play as werewolves! Wouldn't make sense to play as a Giant Spider.

I want to be a werespider it lets you climb walls and grants you extra limbs!

I always loved spiders in video games. The one in the trailer is sooner funny than creepy. Also, the animation with the spider being hit and pushed back is not that impressive, I'd like some partial damage like broken legs or something.

lol, I rather kill people than save them.

So if it bites me...
I turn into spiderman?

If no werewolves I'll be spiderman instead!!!


Seriously though, giant spiders are awesome. I just hope combat is awesome, not the hack and slash lameness that was Oblivion.
I just want combat with these beasts to be fun and awesome, not like goblin warlords in Oblivion...

Saving people? That's his cover story, sure, but what's he really doing when nobody's watching?

Being a nerd? lol.

I will get a little short sword, make it blue, and sting the spiders with it.

No one said it, but I know you all are thinking it: Spider-Daedra. Yes, I said it. Half female spiders from Oblivion with those big......large.....ginenormous......

Light - check.
Detect life - check.
Fireball - check.

Though I imagine some will find a lot more satisfactory to use a bow for the last one instead.
