Arachnophobia

Post » Sun Jan 19, 2014 1:10 pm

Hello!

I have recently contacted the support about that, and I was redirected here by John(thanks John, I like you).

The matter is, of course, arachnophobia, which is, if I am not wrong, a common problem across our society; There are people, that are afraid of spiders and creatures similar to them - this is a fact - my question is: will be there any posibility to exchange them for, I don't know, bears by mod or some kind of setting? There was a mod called "no spiders" for Skyrim, and I wonder, if there will be a possibility to do the same for ESO, so I, and other arachnophobic people could enjoy the whole content. Could it, maybe, be something local, like for other games played online? For example: League of Legends, where you can change the way character looks, while it wouldn't affect the game itself - only your experience of it.

If there is something unclear, be my guest and ask me, what do I mean exactly :)

likely not going to happen, and no, ONLY UI mods are allowed.

Spiders have ALWAYS been a regular RPG enemy, and it is not changing with ESO most likely.

Sorry

I am not scale of spiders. What scares me out is clipping. Here is a real life example of clipping ---

WARNING THIS IS A GROSS PIC!

This is sad :blush:

Clipping in games, this is what it reminds me of Also, why I hate it so.

Looks like both of us have to deal with our fears in the game, they will not go away

Spiders have always been part of RP games

Lack of CD = clipping

They would never allow that in an MMO these days because such a feature has in the past, and would again if permitted, been abused. Unfortunate in your case as I doubt you could even avoid them easily.

Oh, I do know that spiders are a part of the whole RPG thing, but I was just wondering, if there would be a way to deal with them somehow. From what I have seen on trailer, they are not as scary as the Skyrim's ones, but still - they have 8 legs, which is pretty creepy :)

@Thete: How would somebody be able to abuse the ability to change/edit certain model on his own PC environment? Though I see a point in abusing the mods(like DATA FILES) usage or allowance.

Anyway thanks for a bit of new knowledge

1. sorry, there is going to be no way of avoiding them

2. You can change walls to see through, or make invisible characters able to be seen, or make enemy armor REALLY obvious, etc, etc. It is INCREDIBLY abusable.

Oddly enough there is already a post on this today. But it is generally abused to either make enemy players more prominent or the player in question less so.

I didn't even know it could be done without some strong modding or cheating.
So, thank you guys again for answering my questions, and ruining my dreams of spiderless tamriel :)

Quick question, someone from ESO's support department suggested you come here?

Isn't that a little backwards?

Do they read these forums more than they do their own support center?

Also, do not click this link if you are arachnophobic but this is a real-life Skultula and it is awesome: http://media1.gameinformer.com/filestorage/CommunityServer.Components.SiteFiles/imagefeed/featured/gamer-culture/zelda/skulltula610.jpg (obviously NOT real)
