Snakes in games.

[Masque]

Why aren't there snakes in more open-world games?

I wondered this after playing Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, and seeing the coiled snakes in some caves and tombs. Horribly done, too. But at least they're in there. In their sad, limited way.

But no snakes in Skyrim, Oblivion, Morrowind, Fallout 3, NV, or 4, RDR 2... I seem to remember seeing them in RDR 1, but I could be thinking of seeing them in Far Cry 3? But they're not in Diablo 3 (are they?), Grim Dawn, or Path of Exile.

In fact I think AC:Odyssey is the only game I own that has snakes.

Are they too hard to animate or something?

What games have you played that feature snakes in the bestiary?

EDIT: Corrected by the community on several games above.

Red dots on the mini-map?

I'll have to remember that. Do other horse-agitating animals also appear as red-dots?

But they are conspicuously absent in Bethesda games.

iirc they're in arena and daggerfall but someone at bethesda likes spiders way too much

Maybe because snake phobia is more common than spider phobia?

Every predatory animal, pretty much. Bears, pumas, wolves. Everything that wants to nom nom you.

Does Path of Exile count? It has snakes. Otherwise I can't think of any.

I picked this up for free a week or two ago: https://store.steampowered.com/app/544330/Snake_Pass/ 🐍🐍🐍

Decent game.

Good to know, thanks.

I definitely saw snakes in an unmodded play of RDR2, you can tell ones nearby if your horse gets agitated and if you don't see anything, look down and you should see one, they're also marked down on the map as red dots. If you don't have a horse for some reason, then you can still tell a snakes nearby based on noises they may make and the red dot on the map.

I saw that when it came out, looks amazingly animated. Very unique.

Read the thread, Einstein.

There are sneks in rdr2 and fc3

Because they are boring. They are not as mobile as other animals. Their movement and anatomy are also not exciting

Hear that, Venom?

Your movement and anatomy are not exciting, Tiberius said.

"Lets you and him fight."

Thats the exception because Venom has a humanoid body.

Very early on Guild Wars 2 had a Mini Snake you could get, but it wasn't animated properly so they removed it.
