Remove the huge Scorpions PLEASE
Is there anyone who agrees with me?

I'm on my 104th journey. 101 base game, 3 base game + dlc. I cannot get used to them and I'm at a point of break down.

At least remove those that are in the 'mandatory' places. Belurat + Rauh Ancient Ruins.

They should add more so you have more breakdowns. That would be fun.

Hey, aren't you part of the crowd that has regular breakdowns over the lack of "proper hardware support"?
Cheers!

We already have wormface from the base game, just copy paste some of them in the dlc and done.
I will not settle for a compromise. Give me worms or give me death!

Btw, OP, I recommend you stay away from the novel "This Book is Full of Spiders: Seriously, Dude, Don't Touch It".

Which is unfortunate, really good read.

We already discussed this.

If your vertigo is so bad that you cannot stand at a ledge in-game without losing your mind, THEN you can talk.

If you can deal with it so well that you can keep playing, good for you and congrats, no irony and no snark.

But your phobias and how you (are able to) handle them are not a metric you should judge other people's phobias by.

I think the spider scorpions are fine (not great, but manageable), and I have it bad.
But if OP can't with those, at all, then you don't get to be a wise ass about it.

Edit:
To be very fair, crying about it and asking to have them removed isn't going anywhere either, so if there are no mods available, OP just needs to stop playing then.

they should at most have an option to substitute them for a different enemy with same moveset in case there is an arachnophobe playing, and that is at most and after Hogwarts Legacy proved it can be done.

No. I say increase the number. Those things are delightfully freaky.

I think I followed a bad example. I saw people asking about some gender ideas they have or some kind of flags.

This post helped a lot. It shows that I'm in less than 1% of people with the same scorpion problem. Which means: I need to get used to them. Somehow.

not all games are made for everyone and it would be stupid to ruin the game's vision for a very small percent of players that have an issue with it

You think I dare go near them? I have Arachnophobia :steamsad:
I think this is my last run...farewell XD
why not use the chance you got in the game to fight back your fear? It wont harm you in any way. Or you preferred to be sissy boy?

What's the antonym of a sissy boy when you're a woman? XD
I'm trying to do that. I mean the scorpion fear fight thing

What about Grafted Scions do they trigger anything?
Not really. They are more loud. The whole world knows when they appear XD.
These are silent. Like real ones.

I don't have arachnophobia or a phobia of insects, but I absolutely hate the hairy ants in the base game.

I had the noise turned down or I was listening to music by the time I was in Rauh, but I imagine the thrumming noise made by the flying scorpions would have driven me insane.
